Restoration for Tracenoizer in 2018

Difference to 2011 version

What's the 2011 version of Tracenoizer

On an old server tracenoizer.net was running until August 9. 2011. (Date from a .log file timestamp). This version was not working, because search API was defunct for years.

Conservation Strategy

  • Code was not polished in any way to look good.
  • Biggest change code wise: centralization of DB-Connection / Google API / Handling of GET/POST in PHP
  • Security was enhanced in parts, where code had to be touched anyway. I tried to make it in the part, where new code is used, to keep most old code intact.

config.ini

Now confidential configurations like db connection and API keys are not hard coded and written down in several files anymore.

config.ini is the file where db config and api keys are stored, see tracenoizer.net/config.ini.example

update mysql connection for PHP 7

now mysqli_ is used, not outdated mysql_ used

db connection for php is centralized in new file

see tracenoizer.net/db_connect.php

Handling of POST and GET is changed.

In the old days $var could be used directly from url?var=test. Since years PHP only allows $_GET['var'] or $_POST['var']

Google Custom Search is used for Search

see below

puff replaced with curl

see below

replace with ' in html code to prevent this bug caused by ':

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'll do our best to improve things and get you the information you need. . Franz M' at line 1 at trace_centralV4.pl line 860.

trace_centralV4.pl uses config.ini for DB connection

Using Config::IniFiles from cpan (https://metacpan.org/pod/Config::IniFiles)

cpan

to see all installed modules, use this

cpan -l
install Config::IniFiles

Usage

For every run there are two searches, "forename surname" and "surname forename"

Software

puf - Parallel URL fetcher (replaced by curl)

puff cannot get https content, so replaced with curl in fc2374dfcc58f149bea3109ff5bc9d2620cd55dd

puf is able to download in parallel, thus faster than wget or curl

in 2001 tracenoizer used puf-0.9.1beta6.tar

see install_tracnoizer.tar for original software used or here https://sourceforge.net/projects/puf/

tar -zxf puf-1.0.0.tar.gz cd puf-1.0.0 ./configure make cd src ./puf -h make install

rainbow

Rainbow is a program that performs statistical text classification.

Usage of compiled version from 2003

I have a compiled version from 2003, after installing some 32 bit library I was able to run rainbow on Ubuntu 14 LTS (3.13.0-142-generic)

tracenoizer/tracenoizer.net/public_html/rainbow

apt-get install lib32z1

compile rainbow (not working)

Rainbow is not to compile with gcc version 5 on Ubuntu 14 LTS. There are some errors. By uncommenting them, I was able to reduce them, but was not able to get a executable code. And even there would be some function missing. Also, code failed to compile with older gcc version.
