I've just started poking around with it as well. I guess if nobody else here offers up more help, maybe together we can figure it out? What kinds of problems are you having?

Well I decided to make a craigslist for electronics. Seeing as nobody else has tried to make one (except hackaday, but they did a poor job of it).
I ended up finding a nice PHP script online and I heavily modified the CSS and images to suit my likings. However the PHP script has a few issues:
*Large images >400kB will upload, yet thumbnails won't be made for them for some reason. *There is no pagination, all the posts will show up on one page. *There is no way to sort things by price; the only sorting going on is by date. *Posts don't expire. They have timestamps but nothing deletes them after x amount of months, and that will clog up my server. The posts have timestamps so deletion might be easy to implement.
So... who thinks they can fix it? The last three should be easy fixes since all you are doing is re-arranging how the PHP displays the SQL database, but I know jack about PHP so I can't fix it.
I'm willing to give server access to those who think they can fix it (because if anyone decides to be a dick and change the password I could contact my server adnin and have him reset it)

PHP4 and PHP5 OO design are quite different. Please post output from this code: <?php phpinfo(); ?>
Note the maximum execution time, and memory limits. Also remember the XSS attacks usually start with file uploads, and all images should be "watermarked" to check if it is really an image (trap an error flag, as content related to these IP are likely spam too).
I know about 28 different language lexicons (with countless dialects), and use PHP codeIgniter for quick remote server interfaces. SWiG wrappers are really handy for creating interfaces for C/C++ hardware drivers etc.
In my opinion, Craigslist is a horrible site as it is filled with too many scams, and still has no effective system of accountability. =)

WAT.
I told you, I know absolutely nothing about PHP, it looks like swahili to me. Nonetheless I made that info page:
And craigslist is a pretty good site IMO, it's often easy to tell who's a scammer. And with online money systems like google checkout and gaypal it's easy to get your money back if someone scams you.

Locate your php.ini file (like /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini) and edit the following configuration (or override the defaults by placing a php.ini text file in a shared sever root web directory):
max_execution_time = 300 max_input_time = 60 upload_max_filesize = 8M post_max_size = 16M #and add or check if... expose_php = Off register_globals = Off allow_url_fopen = Off
#Optional hide of Apache signature in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ServerTokens Prod ServerSignature Off
Remember to restart your web server to propagate any changes: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Also, keep the number of concurrent file upload slots at 20 to reduce potential DoS issues.

All good advice - more current than my PHP knowledge...

Well the person who was fixing it for me disappeared, so now I'm stuck again.
*Large images >400kB will upload, yet thumbnails won't be made for them for some reason. The reason is line 174 of inc_thumbnail.php. It uncompresses the images and fills up the ram, 300kb image goes to 40MB, so that's no good.
*There is no pagination, all the posts will show up on one page. Still not fixed.
*There is no way to sort things by price; the only sorting going on is by date. This was fixed.
*Posts don't expire. They have timestamps but nothing deletes them after x amount of months, and that will clog up my server. The posts have timestamps so deletion might be easy to implement. This was partialy fixed using a "scheduled task" php script, but it does not delete the post's associated image.
So, I'm still looking for some help and I'll give server access to those who think they can fix it. I really want to get this craigslist thing going, it could prove to be very useful.
