Hi everyone,
at least I took my time to install the forum, this time on a server *without* safe mode Smile. Things went relatively smooth but there are some things which might be improved.

After having finished the installation, I was welcomed with a bunch of lovely warnings complaining about a backslash. I looked into the globals.php and noticed the mess: Some variables defined started with a backslash, so there were some things to be removed in jEdit Wink. System is running Linux with apache 1.3.19 and PHP 4.06 the Sql version is a bit older but none of the flaky builds I think. So I'm not too sure whether it's an issue with the installer or with the server's setting.

Next: In the control panel, where the generic stuff is set the field "posts per page" is appearing twice, so I dunno what would happen if both have different values Wink

And finally: At the forum's statistics I get this error message where the number of threads is shown:
Quote:

Warning: Division by zero in /home/ken/www/forum/adm/admstats.php on line 273

I think it's because there aren't neither posts nor categories yet as I ve just set it up.
Yep and finally there are some things I know I had translated which are appearing in English again. But since I have to translate some new things anyway It's not that bad.
But the compiler is awesome. Just right after submitting it was already finished. Great job Very Happy
K, if I find some more I'll post it
bye Ken

I'll get cracking on the bugs, thanks for the reports.

I've changed the english text of some messages since your initial translation, so I took the liberty to trash the old translation of the strings. That "could" be the reason for the problem...

There we go again Wink
The stats' range to be selected looks a bit strange as it goes from 12/31/1969 - 12/31/1969. There's nothing else u could select from the drop-down menu. I don't think that this is an issue with the server.
The filemanager also behaves strange: Looking at the files it says they would all belong to root and the rights are shown as 0000 or d000 if it's a directory. If I try to change the mode an error will appear. Is a bit strange to me since the forum is fully working and changes made on the control panel are applied with no problem. even if I set the mode with my ftp client to 666 it will be shown as 0000.

The division by 0 bug and the dupe entry on admglobals page have been resolved.

The install problem with \$ will be fixed once I integrate the regex free GLOBALS.php parser into it, the php's regex seems REALLY flaky on older versions. Especially on systems with international settings Sad

Those dates are there because your forum has no messages. The default date values are determined from 1st post to last post. Since you have no messages the value is 0, and 0 resolves to 12/31/1969.

The filemanager does appear to be acting up, I'll see if I can replicate the issues you're seeing.

Nevermind with the regexp. It also has been bugging me with some scripts I wrote. So lets hope php4.2.0 will fix it all. Smile

edit: In case u cannot reproduce the filemanager problem I could PM the url to the forum to u (or the output of phpinfo()) just tell me what u prefer Wink

Ken, I cannot replicate the bug you're seeing with the file manager. Could you show me the output of the phpinfo() function please.

Also, if you can try the following test script on your system, see what information you get and paste its output to me.


<?php
echo '<pre>';

$file_name = "FULL_PATH_TO_ANY_FILE";
$st = stat($file_name);
$group = posix_getgrgid($st['gid']);
$user = posix_getpwuid($st['uid']);
$user_name = $group['name'];
$group_name = $user['name'];

print_r($st);

echo "User Name: $user_name\n";
echo "Group Name: $group_name\n";

echo '</pre>';
?>

Hi,
The fix for the filemanager is working fine, now I can finally see the correct group, user and rights set. Thnx a lot Smile
ken

--edit--
found a small bug with setting the forum's title:
I chose to call my forum:
Ken's Testforum

however it actually shows up as
Ken\'s Testforum

I think most ppl would appreciate if it would appear without backslash in this case Smile

Hello,
yet another one Wink. If someone is cancelling the "Rebuild Seach Index" dialog ("Do u really want to proceed...") the following message will appear:
Quote:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/ken/www/forum/adm/admpanel.php:3) in /home/ken/www/forum/adm/indexdb.php on line 32

--edit--
Interesting, the "Compact Messages" dialog suffers from the same disease once it's being cancelled Wink

looks like I should load admpanel.php into my editor to see what's going on there

Ok I found the reason why its not working

include('admpanel.php');
if( !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['cancel']) ) {
header("Location: admglobal.php?".$_RSID);
exit;
}


It should be

if( !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['cancel']) ) {
header("Location: admglobal.php?".$_RSID);
exit;
}
else {
include('admpanel.php');
}

in order to make sure it will work even if the process is cancelled.
The consist.php is also affected by this problem
bye

Hi,
once again another one Smile. When resetting a user's password the e-mail sent contains a blank space instead of the url. Seems like the {var: URL} is somewhat empty. I will check the other generated messages to see whether it's always empty or only in this case.
Registration confirmation, however, is working as expected.

I introduced that bug in RC-2

Modify the msg file and change {VAR: URL} to {VAR: url}

that will fix the bug. I've already fixed this in CVS.

And the spam feast continues Grin

Looking at the referrals list I noticed that the user's name isn't shown up. maybe the {VAR: r_login} has no assigned value?

Other than that I'm happy to announce that finally the German translation is complete again (hopefully without any embarrassing typos in it) Wink so there it is.

Bye

spamming galore today Grin
I applied the latest update from CVS. Now I got the problem that when I want to compile or rebuild templates I get this neat little message:
Quote:

Query Failed: SELECT * FROM ses WHERE ses_id='9adcfa92955cf0c7665901aadd887903'
Reason: Table 'db_ken.ses' doesn't exist
From: /home/ken/www/forum/adm/phplist.php
Server Version: 3.23.37-log

Hm, seems to be a deja vu experience Wink
--edit---
simply selecting the language will also do to trigger the error
bye Ken

Ken, did you fix your GLOBALS.php, which got broken by the bug in admglobals?

You needed to put values for all the screwed up variables, once of which was MYSQL_TABLE_PREFIX, without it having a valid value forum won't work.

I thought so. however it seems to me quite suspicious that right now after I replaced the files the whole forum doesn't seem to work anymore. So I better take a look again, maybe there are still some odd things remaining Wink
Will tell u in a few minutes then

You probably ran the compiler, when it ran it read the settings from the new screwed up GLOBALS.php loosing the SQL table prefix.

So ALL the files now would have the wrong SQL table names.

Hm the table prefix is empty in the GLOBALS.php. since it hasn't been empty by the start it seems clear why it cannot find any entries in the SQL database. Ok, sorry for this unnecessary report Embarassed
--edit--
just read ur new message. yep I confirm, because I overlooked the empty prefix I screwed it all up myself. very embarrassing Embarassed
So time for a fresh install again. Wink

I've put in the new GLOBALS.php editor inside the install script, which eliminates the use for regex.

Hopefuly this will solve the \$ problem on 4.04pl1 and possibly earlier installs....

Great. Unfortunately I cannot test it because the guy who owns the server screwed it up yesterday while attempting to remove mod_ssl. Don't know when he will fix it again Confused And with 4.06 and above I ve never encounterred such problems.
nevermind
