| 15:32.18 | dataw0lf|w | Anyone know how to change where Firefox saves the 'Mozilla' directory (containing profiles, etc) in Windows ? |
| 15:46.37 | jsmith | dataw0lf: My guess would be Docs&Settings/ApplicationData or Docs&Settings/LocalSettings/ApplicationData |
| 15:47.40 | dataw0lf|w | that's where it saves it to, correct. |
| 15:47.46 | optikal` | jsmith: I believe hes looking to find the location (either a config file or in the regsitry) in which FireFox stores the location to the profiles.. |
| 15:47.57 | dataw0lf|w | exactly. |
| 15:48.00 | optikal` | im not sure. =/ |
| 15:48.05 | *** join/#uphpu bigdog_ut (~bigdog@166.70.34.182) |
| 15:48.05 | *** mode/#uphpu [+o bigdog_ut] by ChanServ |
| 15:48.05 | dataw0lf|w | Here's the problem, so you can understand better: |
| 15:48.07 | optikal` | check about:config? |
| 15:48.11 | dataw0lf|w | of course. |
| 15:48.15 | optikal` | figured as much |
| 15:48.18 | dataw0lf|w | that's pulled from the .js in the Profile directory. |
| 15:48.40 | dataw0lf|w | Our W2k machines pull their specific D&S's from a Samba server, authing through LDAP and NIS |
| 15:48.48 | dataw0lf|w | I got a guy here with 650 mbs on it. |
| 15:48.51 | optikal` | aah nice |
| 15:48.53 | dataw0lf|w | mostly in the Firefox directory. |
| 15:48.54 | optikal` | haha |
| 15:48.56 | optikal` | damn |
| 15:49.10 | dataw0lf|w | So when he goes to login, it's taking forever to 'load his settings', plus trashing my network. |
| 15:49.39 | dataw0lf|w | so I need to change where Firefox looks for that directory, so I can put it directly on his box's hard drive. |
| 15:51.44 | optikal` | werd |
| 15:51.51 | optikal` | let me see if i can help ya find it, cause im not sure |
| 15:54.17 | bigdog_ut | just point the dir to a different location |
| 15:54.49 | optikal` | dataw0lf: okay.. |
| 15:54.53 | optikal` | dataw0lf: not sure if this helps.. |
| 15:55.05 | optikal` | dataw0lf: close firefox totally, relaunch it with -p.. |
| 15:55.18 | optikal` | dataw0lf|w: then create new profile, next, and then you can 'Choose Directory' for where the new profile is stored.. |
| 15:55.19 | dataw0lf|w | bigdog_ut: yeah, no kidding, that's what I'm trying to do. I need to know WHERE to specify that. |
| 15:55.33 | bigdog_ut | .mozilla is the dir |
| 15:55.46 | dataw0lf|w | *sigh* |
| 15:55.50 | optikal` | dataw0lf|w: Doesnt appear the profile manager allows you to change a current profile, so maybe create a new one and import the other profile? =/ |
| 15:55.51 | dataw0lf|w | nevermind bigdog_ut |
| 15:55.59 | dataw0lf|w | optikal: Huh. |
| 15:56.18 | dataw0lf|w | but there is way more than just profile stuff in C:\.......\mozilla\ |
| 15:56.22 | bigdog_ut | optikal` is right..you create a new profile and delete the old one |
| 15:56.37 | bigdog_ut | the profile is the stuff under it |
| 15:57.02 | bigdog_ut | like mine is mozilla/firefox/vuhdjbbr.default |
| 15:57.14 | optikal` | dataw0lf|w: i figured you just needed to change his profile, as for changing the entire mozilla folder, i doubt that'd be even happen.. windows is too gay |
| 15:58.00 | synic | why does this guy have 650MB in his firefox profile? |
| 15:58.09 | bigdog_ut | porn |
| 15:58.25 | synic | lol :P |
| 15:58.32 | optikal` | temp files, likely. |
| 15:58.38 | synic | why couldn't he download it to a decently hidden place? |
| 15:58.48 | synic | well, seems if it's just temp files, it wouldn't hurt to delete them. |
| 15:59.25 | optikal` | i could see 20-50mb.. with theme/extensions.. (minus temp files).. but i couldnt see going past that w/o temp files, really. |
| 15:59.33 | dataw0lf|w | argh |
| 15:59.35 | dataw0lf|w | that's not what I need. |
| 16:00.42 | dataw0lf|w | who cares why he has 650 mbs? as long as I get it off my server and onto his hard drive. |
| 16:00.42 | bigdog_ut | dataw0lf, what do you need bro? |
| 16:00.42 | dataw0lf|w | I need the full mozilla directory. |
| 16:00.42 | dataw0lf|w | to change. |
| 16:00.42 | bigdog_ut | the move it over there |
| 16:00.43 | dataw0lf|w | firefox will just create a new one on the samba share, and he'll lose his old crap. |
| 16:00.49 | bigdog_ut | not unless you create a new profile for him and move it to the new profile |
| 16:01.00 | bigdog_ut | like optikal` said |
| 16:01.22 | dataw0lf|w | it will still point to mozilla as the root folder. |
| 16:01.23 | optikal` | create the new profile, and then close out firefox and overwrite all subcontents/folders from his old profile to his new profile |
| 16:01.26 | dataw0lf|w | on the samba share. |
| 16:02.14 | bigdog_ut | also you can modify the profiles.ini file to point to a different profile location |
| 16:02.18 | bigdog_ut | that might be what you want |
| 16:03.11 | dataw0lf|w | No, because that's contained within the mozilla dir. |
| 16:03.13 | dataw0lf|w | *sigh* |
| 16:03.18 | dataw0lf|w | I'll just go through regedit. |
| 16:03.25 | bigdog_ut | dude, check this out |
| 16:03.36 | bigdog_ut | 1. move the profile dir to his machine |
| 16:03.53 | bigdog_ut | 2. modify the profile.ini file to point to the new location on his box |
| 16:04.00 | bigdog_ut | simple enough |
| 16:04.33 | bigdog_ut | so you are just telling firefox to look at his box for the dir instead of the samba share |
| 16:04.35 | dataw0lf|w | Dude. It won't find the profile.ini file, because the profile.ini file is above him the directory structure (the profile that is) |
| 16:04.47 | dataw0lf|w | firefox won't know how to look there. |
| 16:04.51 | dataw0lf|w | It'll find his profile. |
| 16:04.55 | dataw0lf|w | but profile.ini is global |
| 16:05.04 | dataw0lf|w | /mozilla/firefox/profile.ini |
| 16:05.18 | bigdog_ut | yeah that you leave on his share |
| 16:05.31 | bigdog_ut | modify it too look on his drive |
| 16:05.32 | dataw0lf|w | /mozilla/firefox/profiles/sadkfja3.specific.profile |
| 16:06.00 | dataw0lf|w | no, no, I need firefox to look at where mozilla the dir is. |
| 16:06.09 | dataw0lf|w | the profile directory is large. |
| 16:06.15 | dataw0lf|w | but there are tons of other crap on that directory too |
| 16:06.18 | dataw0lf|w | that need to be moved. |
| 16:06.41 | dataw0lf|w | 500 mbs for mozilla alone |
| 16:06.46 | dataw0lf|w | 140 mbs for profiles |
| 16:06.52 | dataw0lf|w | you see what I'm talking about? |
| 16:07.02 | dataw0lf|w | err, 400 mbs for mozilla |
| 16:07.08 | dataw0lf|w | there's other crap on that share tham I'm moving. |
| 16:07.17 | dataw0lf|w | so the profiles isn't even half of that directory. |
| 16:07.24 | dataw0lf|w | (size) |
| 16:07.28 | bigdog_ut | then move it all to his box and dont have a share |
| 16:07.40 | dataw0lf|w | well that ruins my whole system, doesn't it? |
| 16:08.14 | dataw0lf|w | in the installation of firefox can you specify that directory? |
| 16:08.17 | dataw0lf|w | back to the original question. |
| 16:08.28 | bigdog_ut | no |
| 16:08.39 | dataw0lf|w | well then I'm looking through the registry I guess. |

| 20:20.18 | Ruis | Hey guys. |
| 20:21.19 | Ruis | i'm writing a command line php script that I need to post some data to a web server. this isn't a big deal normally, but I want to post multipart/form-data including a file. any ideas? |
| 20:28.12 | Ruis | hrm. looks like curl can do it without much effor. |
| 20:30.36 | tierra | well, the posting is handled by the browser, and PHP parses that POST data to $_POST and $_FILES I believe |
| 20:30.42 | tierra | not much else from there |
| 20:31.33 | jsmith | Ruis: There are several PHP libraries out there that do just that -- shouldn't be hard to google for. |
| 20:43.23 | macnewbold | Ruis: the curl library is probably what you've want. I've used it very successfully in the past for POSTing though I haven't tried out the multipart feature for files. |
| 20:47.54 | Ruis | tierra, I needed an automated way to post, so I can't use a browser at all in this case. |
| 20:48.02 | Ruis | I actually did get it to work with curl. It's super easy. |
| 20:48.32 | tierra | oh, I see |
| 20:48.47 | tierra | cool |

| 20:55.50 | bigdog_ut | Ruis, you can even "chain" the posts like a user is moving through the application |
| 20:55.53 | bigdog_ut | with curl |
| 20:56.11 | bigdog_ut | i did one where a user logs in...moves through some pages and then posts a file |
| 21:25.13 | synic | http://pleco.mikrolahti.fi/~muumi/temp/660952-52461.gif |
| 21:28.02 | wps | when I try to move a directory to a location that already has a directory of the same name (with contents), I get an errors that says that it cannot be done because the second directory is not empty |
| 21:28.09 | wps | is there a way to merge the two? |
| 21:30.12 | Ruis | rsync |
| 21:30.37 | wps | is that the only way? |
| 21:30.57 | Ruis | probably not. but it's an easy way. |
| 21:31.16 | synic | wps: mv dir/* newdir/ |
| 21:31.49 | Ruis | is there a reason you don't want to use rsync? |
| 21:32.50 | wps | synic: doesn't work |
| 21:32.55 | wps | I get "Directory not empty" |
| 21:33.05 | wps | Ruis: no |
| 21:33.14 | synic | that should work - paste your command and error in here |
| 21:33.23 | Ruis | wps: i think you would like it. |
| 21:33.27 | wps | mv A ../2/ |
| 21:33.33 | wps | mv: rename A to ../2/A: Directory not empty |
| 21:33.40 | synic | mv A/* ../2/ |
| 21:33.50 | synic | er.. |
| 21:33.50 | wps | oops... |
| 21:33.52 | synic | mv A/* ../2/A/ |
| 21:34.23 | Ruis | that would suck if you've got to do that with 100s of sub dirs. |
| 21:34.44 | wps | that worked |
| 21:34.48 | wps | thanks, synic! |
| 21:34.51 | synic | np |
| 21:34.54 | Ruis | oh sure. take the easy way out. |
| 21:35.09 | wps | Ruis: rsync is on my list of things to learn |
| 21:35.13 | Ruis | :) |
| 21:35.16 | wps | to-date I have never even touched it |
| 21:35.31 | Ruis | it's what I use to sync my mp3 player. |
| 21:35.34 | wps | I want to however... I need to utilize it's power |
| 21:35.34 | synic | he's right, it is pretty easy. |
| 21:42.22 | macnewbold | I use rsync to sync mp3s as well as syncing all our client's stuff between our devel/test server and the live server |
| 21:42.31 | macnewbold | it's also good for making backups |
| 21:44.30 | tierra | macnewbold, I have bash scripts on all my servers that have customized out rsync commands to do backups... just add in some keys, throw it in cron, and I'm good to go |
| 21:45.14 | tierra | just don't use the --delete option in the cron'd scripts (I save that for manual backups) so it doesn't catch you off guard and screw something up |
