   Hi thank you for this opensource program. But I have a problem. I have all the necessary requirements PHP 5.x MYSQL 5.x and GD 2.x and i’m running apache. When I do the install the page only loads partially the form. The form loads only up to the administrator settings. I can’t continue any more with the settings. I following the installation strictly. What could be wrong? Thanks

   can i change the password of admin.the passwords of voters same or different??how can i control these passwords
9. Waldemar Bautista Post authorMay 16, 2013 at 9:03 pm

   At present, you can only change the admin password directly in the database using the following command in MySQL prompt.

   UPDATE admins SET password = sha1(‘your password’) WHERE username = ‘admin’;

   This will change in the near future.

   The passwords for the voters can be generated when the election is not running at Voters -> Export Voters. When the election is running, the password of a voter can be regenerated at the admin home.

    Can you please upload your sample file somewhere and share the link? Or you can send it to halalan@googlegroups.com. Thank you.

    Hi. I’ve tested your file and it’s working. Please make sure your tables have utf8 as character set and utf8_general_ci as collation. You can change your voters table by using the commands below.

    # command start
    ALTER TABLE `voters` CHANGE `username` `username` VARCHAR( 63 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL ,
    CHANGE `password` `password` CHAR( 40 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL ,
    CHANGE `pin` `pin` CHAR( 40 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NULL DEFAULT NULL ,
    CHANGE `first_name` `first_name` VARCHAR( 63 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL ,
    CHANGE `last_name` `last_name` VARCHAR( 31 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL
    # command end

    In the future, we will explicitly set this options during installation. Thank you for the notification!

    Hi !
    thank you very for this useful program!

    I just want to report some issues that i encountered.

    1. after entering the confirmation pin the program does not show the “THANK YOU FOR VOTING PAGE” instead it return 404 error page not found,
    2, drop down menu is not functioning well, usually I need to refshed the page to make it work.
18. Waldemar Bautista Post authorJune 13, 2013 at 6:20 pm

    Hi, can you provide screenshots illustrating the problems? You can email them to halalan@googlegroups.com or upload them to your favorite image hosting service and paste the links here. Thanks!

    Another bug I found,

    SCENARIO : when creating voters login credential using import and export:

    PROBLEM : I set my config to 4 digits pin and 6 digits password all numeric.. but some of the generated passwords and pins are not in the same number of digits.

    thanks

    Hi, I’m sorry I can’t reproduced problem 1. It’s working fine in a LAMP environment. Maybe you have some server configurations which are causing this. Regarding problems 2 and 3, the appending of “.html” to the URL is causing this. Please check url_suffix in your config.php. It should be empty.

    About the generation of passwords and pins, please share your halalan.php. I can’t also reproduced this.

    Thanks!

    Hi Sir,

    * Issue 1 , maybe, this issue is in connection with my current web server used.
    Web server installed in a Dlink DNS-320 with funplug 0.7
    – lighttpd/1.4.32
    – Database client version: libmysql – 5.5.28
    – PHP extension: mysqli
    – Protocol version: 10
    – Server type: MySQL

    * Issue 2 and 3 was successfully fixed by removing url_suffix in your config.php.

    * Issue 4: generation of passwords and pins. Please refer to my halalan.php

24. Waldemar Bautista Post authorJune 26, 2013 at 2:04 pm

    This is just a hunch but maybe you have a zero as the rightmost digit of the passwords/pins and it is being removed by your spreadsheet application when viewing the CSV. Trying opening the CSV using a simple text editor to confirm this. Thanks.
25. Arniel June 28, 2013 at 1:23 pm

    I already tried to view the csv file through a simple text editor, it shows just the same output. BTW, it also generates pin and password in 2 digits. Please refer to the actual generated file..

    Another issue when generating username and password through import and export method, the system refuses a whole voters block to login.. the only way we can do is to regenerate the password and pin again..

    Thank you.
27. Waldemar Bautista Post authorJuly 1, 2013 at 12:27 pm

    Thank for these reports. We can’t reproduce them as of now. But we’ll still continute investigating them.

    Hi!

    404 error page not found after pin confirmation
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHvOZBXPudQ

    The above issues has now been resolved after changing my web server to a complete standalone web server powered by clearos.

    Hello! Anyone here?

    No comments for months. I’m, afraid, the developer lost their interest on this project. :(
