Hi Shamblett
Here’s the config. The database is Evo 1.0.3
$dbType = 1;
/* Database parameters */
$host = ’atlas.**.**.**’;
$user = ’sportwor_sport’;
$password = ’********’;
$database = ’sportwor_db’;
$port = ’’;
$prefix = ’mdx_’;
/* Working directory */
$working = ’/home/andy/sportworks’;
/* Mount point */
$mount_point = ’/’;
/* Passthru */
$passthru_point = ’/’;
/* Log file */
$logfile = ’modxfuse.log’;
/*
* Array of pass through directories/files, case sensitive.
* Defaults to the minimum required to work with SVN
*/
$passthrudirs = array(0=>’.svn’,
1=>’checkoutmode’);
Thanks for your help

OK andyw4, you have your passthru directory and your db mountpoint both set to ’/’ so they will try and share the same directory which won’t work. I tend to use this directory structure under my working directory :-
/* Mount point */
$mount_point = ’/db’;
/* Passthru */
$passthru_point = ’/passthru’;
As you can see they are different, it doesn’t matter what they are called as long as they are different. Sorry if this is not clear in the user guide. I’ll put in a check for this and warn the user appropriately in the next release.

Hi Shamblett
Any chance you could give a brief explanation of what the passthru directory is for? Sorry for being thick, but i really didn’t grasp it from the docs.
Cheers,
A.
Yes, at the mo its not really used it just needs to be there, its main use is in integration with VCS’s such as SVN. This where the tracking directories reside e.g SVN uses .svn directories, it needs to create these but they can’t reside in the database mount point as they would be created in your database which you don’t want. As far as things like SVN go if you list the mount point it also picks up the contents of the passthru directory and merges them, so SVN sees the directory structure it needs to function.
It will also contain other tracking files as well in the future, to store atime/ctime/ info etc. this is what’s stopping full SVN integration at the mo.
It can also be used to signal the FUSE process at runtime, this can dynamically change the packages behaviour for instance without taking the mount point down.
As said above in this release as long as its specified correctly it can be ignored.

Doesn’t ring a bell but I’ll check here.

OK, just mounted an evo database and created the category ’Template elements’ as you did above, the spaces in the name are OK what’s happening is your trying to create a category and a file at the same time I believe, it won’t do this, it will try and create the file under an existing category which of course it won’t find and fail. Create your categories first, then the file contents. I’ll raise an issue for this in GitHub.

Hi
No, that isn’t what’s happening.

And the file has gone.
I’ve got the logs for this, but they’re a bit long. ould it be better for me to post them to GitHub?
A.
OK, try the same thing but not using vi or vim, or, turn off the ’back up file’ option in these editors, so you don’t try and create files ending with ’~’. You could use nano or joe here for instance.
Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
OK, just got round to checking this, it’s how vi vim saves things, to get round this simply passthru any temp files. ie those with ’~’ usually denote this, change
$passthrudirs = array(0=>'.svn',
1=>'checkoutmode');
to
$passthrudirs = array(0=>'.svn',
1=>'checkoutmode',
2=>'~');
This works here. I need to put this is in as a default really.
