Geoff when I got to it I gat an internal server error.
After checking the apache logs I can see that LDAP auth is working for me but the script itself is crashing out with an error the module pkpgpdls does not exist.
The other two scripts work fine and report correctly.
hence my question.
You must install 'pkpgcounter' from the pykota site.
oooo I thought this was installed as standard, hmmm let me get to it and let you know.....
OK have successfully extracted and installed pkpgcounter-3.50.tar.gz and I can access pkotme.cgi without it crashing :)
This page as far as I can see alows you to get quote on how much a document would cost to print, I cannont see anywhere to get a balance for me, I should have 1.57 left.
Any ideas??
Do i need to pass something else to the script.
If you look at the README in '/usr/share/pykota/cgi-bin' it explains hows it works.
Quote:
If you protect access to printquota.cgi or dumpykota.cgi with
username+password authentication, the REMOTE_USER CGI environment variable
is honored, so an user can only see his own datas, but not
other users' datas. However, the special REMOTE_USER value 'root'
is allowed an unrestricted access.
If no username+password authentication takes place, then access
is completely unrestricted.
If you don't protect access to pykotme.cgi with username+password
authentication, then only the job's size will be displayed
to you. This is due to the cost of a print job on a particular printer
depending on the user because of the overcharging factor's value.
So if you want pykotme.cgi to produce complete web quotes, you must
ensure that the user logs in from his web browser whenever he uses
this CGI script.
Hmmm this means that authentication is not working... hmm i am gonna need to look into this then.
I'll let you know how I get on.
You can verify in the apache access.log if authentication is working. As the username will be logged.
