Changing the owner 'nobody' in Joomla PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 25 June 2006
I have this same problem on one webhost I'm using. After installing joomla components I was not able to change them through FTP - all new components are created as user 'nobody'.  I do not have this problem on another host - all new permissions are set to my uername.I contacted the first webhost, they replied:****
PHP scripts here run as the apache user ("nobody" in this case) not as your user account. This is because PHP is run in mod_php mode. This means that when you upload a file through HTTP (ie through a web form), or your web program creates a file on the server that file will be owned by the user called "nobody". This can create problems when you want to delete, rename, copy, move or edit the file later through FTP, SSH or SFTP because you are not the user "nobody" and thus probably don't have the correct permissions.
****

So it seems there is no way around this, they suggested to contact them and theyd set permissions manually for me.

However I found this simple way:

If you need to change a file in a component, lets say "english.php", the server does not allow you to do that,
but you can still rename or delete it. Copy the file to your PC and delete(or rename) the original on the server. After editing copy the file back to the server. Now the permissions are correct.

In Joomla config I also set new files nd folder creation permission to server default. I believe it also affects you capability of deleting o renaming "nobody"'s files.

So far this is the simplest and fastest way for me to change "nobody"'s files.

If you do not find here answers to your questions please contact us and we will reply promptly.

Q: Will PrintHelper print all files and subfolder files in the order they appear?

A: Files can be sorted either by name or by extension (file type). Sorting by extension is very recommended for faster printing.

Q: Does your program require additional software installed to print image files?
I need to print folders with GIF, JPEG and BITMAP files.

A: No, PrintHelper prints any image format listed in the program description.
No additional software is required.

Q: Does the free version work in full mode?

A: Yes, it will work in full mode for 15 days. In order to continue to use it a license purchase is required.

Q: I need to print of up-to 4000 PDF files contained on a CD ROM. Can your software print the entire Disc of PDF files?

A: Yes, it can print any number of files. Users can change the default number of spooled files.

Q: Can report be printed into a separate printer tray

A: Yes, you can specify which printer tray is for reports

Q: What happens when a document or image does not fit the page

A: Print Helper will resize the document automatically

Q: I have more than 150 PDF files, original size 30″ x 42″.
Using Adobe Acrobat (version 6) I have to select each file individually to print.
Can I can batch them using Print-Helper? The goal is to print to 11 x 17 landscape.

A: Yes, in Print Helper you can select as many files as you need. Print Helper will fit each file into the page size which the default printer is set to.

Q: Is there a way that Print-Helper runs in back, and check every 2 minutes,
if there is a new *.doc , print the *.doc and move the file to another dir after it was printed?

A: When Print Helper runs in the hidden mode, there is an option to check a source directory for its contents, print files, move them to another directory, wait a set amount of time (1,2,…100..min), then check the source directory again for new files to be printed. The source can either be a local directory or an FTP server directory.

Q: I need a printing solution for one of my clients who wants to batch print power point presentations on a large scale to a Copier / Printer.

A: Print Helper supports batch printing of any number of Power Point files. Please note that you need to have a Power Point installed on your PC.

Q: I just installed Print Helper. I need to print PDF files, but it does not recognize them. Why does this happen?

A: Most likely you do not have an Adobe Acrobat 6 installed. It must be Adobe Acrobat, not Acrobat Reader. You also may need to check if the PDF extension is setup in the Extension Manager

Error: Argument list too long

When removing large number of files this error might occur. In order to avoid it use:
“find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm”

If it does not work, use “find ./ -name “*8*log -print0| xargs -0 rm” first.
