Title: SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public!
Post by: [Unknown] on June 26, 2005, 10:40:16 PM
Simple Machines is very happy to bring you SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public.  We hope that those of you eagerly awaiting the public release of this new version of SMF will be happy with the changes we have made.  This is, however, a beta release.  If you are uncomfortable with beta versions of software, we strongly suggest you continue using SMF 1.0.x for now.  If you do upgrade, it will not be possible to "downgrade" except by using a backup.

SMF 1.1 has changed in many ways from SMF 1.0.  Problems have been fixed, bottlenecks have been identified, features have been added, and code has changed.  Mods and themes which worked with previous versions may very well not work without significant change with this new version.  This includes integration with Mambo, MKPortal, and Coppermine.  If you are not comfortable with this, please do not upgrade to this version.

If you find any problems or have any comments, we wish to hear them, as always.  Please remember, however, that not every feature wanted can be added, and we are approaching the release candidate phase for this version, which will mean no new features except in specific cases.

If you feel you have found a security hole or very serious bug, it is best to email [email protected] to make sure the correct people are notified.  However, if it is not critical, it will be more quickly addressed if it is posted to SMF Coding Discussion (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=60.0) or General English Support (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=9.0).  For any other problems, please post in the appropriate section of General English Support (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=9.0).

Some of the most notable changes from the previous versions are:

The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

Post by: codenaught on June 28, 2005, 11:56:24 PM
Well my first impressions of SMF 1.1 are very good.  :D

The upgrade was very easy as usual. The only problem I had was that after upgrading there was a blank category and blank board inside it which I could not edit through the Manage Boards section. But it was no problem, I simply deleted it using MYSQL.  ;)

I really like how the admin cp has been changed so much. Much better navigation now.

Some of my favorite new features are:

+ Clicking on the new post indicators next to each board allows you to go to all unread posts in that board.

+ You can now edit all template files instead of just index.template.php.

+ There is an inline theme previewer when editing the CSS file. You can view any page on your board on it also. (Very Cool!)

+ Previewing a post no longer refreshes the page (As I have seen here for quite some time now)

+ I also like the "Generate Reports" feature.

+ The  [html] and [nobbc] tags

What?  The upgrader shouldn't even be able to do that.

Thanks, that's my work ;).  It's not perfect, though - at least, yet.

You have not uploaded all of the files.  Again, if you are not comfortable with beta versions, please do not install this upgrade.

Please all remember before you update, most of 1.0.x MODs wont work with this beta. Downgrade isnt possible. Make backup with all your files, including msql database, before you upgrade this version.

Is this not available via Package Manager because this is a beta?  Also, when it becomes just SMF 1.1 and not SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public will it then be available via Package Manager?

I don't really like doing the upgrades manually and Package Manager is a godsend.

No, this is not available via the package manager because it is a major and very large update.  There will not be any official way to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 through the package manager.

No, it takes 100k+ to list all of them, and at least 20k to list most of them... I listed the most notable ;).

After using the install package, I get (only):
QuoteUnknown column 'a.attachmentType' in 'field list'
in my browser.

So, nothing comes up.


I also tried to register with an already existing member name, which is never a problem. But, on the "installation complete page", I got:
QuoteNotice: Undefined variable: salt in /home/anunlike/public_html/testforums/isntall.php on line 869
Otherwise, I get the regular stuff. But when I got to my forums, I get the "a.attachmentType" message (above).

This means you installed over a 1.0 database.  It's also the cause of your other errors.  You should have read the warning the installer gave you.

You are also using an old database.  You have either done the same thing or not run upgrade.php.  Did you read the readme.html?

Yes, it can be... but it's the same as 1.0.

Thanks. Yeah, I was in a bit of a hurry and it's a test forum with absolutely nothing valuable on it.  :P


I found a typo...
Admin > Packages > Options > Cleanup Permissions > The middle option reads "All are files writable." which, of course, should be "All files are writable."

I also found... Page doesn't have a title to it, it just shows the url.
Admin > News and Newsletters > Settings
Admin > Boards > Settings
Admin > Membergroups > Settings

I'd also suggest renaming the "Personal Message Options" link to include something about the buddylist features.


VERY nice, as always!
Title: DB Requirements Question
Post by: mikeinzoniland on June 29, 2005, 03:52:12 AM
DB Requirements Question

The installation guide for 1.0.x

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=6765.0 says - MySQL 3.23.4 or higher.

Now with the 1.1.3 upgrade the requirements change?

smf_1-1-beta3p_upgrade/readme.html says - MySQL 3.23.6 or higher.

I am running MySQL 3.23.56. Am I out of luck?

Maybe a bit of newbie question....but hey..this is a learning process for me....

I want to upgrade my 1.0.5 forum to 1.1 beta 3 public....i have done a backup via the Forum Maintence section and got a zipped file that won't open, also did an unzipped one that is a notepad file that appear to contain everything ever done on the forum...

If the upgrade goes wrong...how do i restore my forum using the backup?
And do i need to backup the SQL database seperately?

Hi,

I got this error when I tried to sign into my forum, I put the forum into maintenence mode

Warning: main(/home/b2l1498/public_html/forums/Settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/b2l1498/public_html/forums/index.php on line 44
<>
As far as I'm aware I deleted all files associated with my previous version

Looks like you deleted Settings.php

Is there anyway of getting it back? I tried to do a restore from the backup I made but nothing has happened to restore it

Okay, fixed the package manager typo.  That one was my fault.

smf_1-1-beta3p_upgrade/readme.html says - MySQL 3.23.6 or higher.

I am running MySQL 3.23.56. Am I out of luck?

You're fine.  3.23.6 is older than 3.23.56.  That said, the newest version of 3.23.x is 3.23.58 iirc, and I wouold STRONGLY suggest 4.0.x if at all possible.

Maybe a bit of newbie question....but hey..this is a learning process for me....

I want to upgrade my 1.0.5 forum to 1.1 beta 3 public....i have done a backup via the Forum Maintence section and got a zipped file that won't open, also did an unzipped one that is a notepad file that appear to contain everything ever done on the forum...

If the upgrade goes wrong...how do i restore my forum using the backup?
And do i need to backup the SQL database seperately?

You may wish to check the Moving Server (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=15252.0) topic for the general procedure.

is there a bug with bbc buttons and smilie js in the classic theme? Dont work anymore after changing the post.template?

None that I know of.  Make sure your files are all up to date, and press Ctrl-F5.  If you continue experiencing problems, please post a new topic in General English Support (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=9.0).

Quote from: TarantinoArchives on June 29, 2005, 10:00:51 AM
will for example my modified version of the default template work in 1.1?

Unfortunately, not very well in all cases.  We hope to add a guide soon on updating themes to 1.1, but until then you'll have to use a file comparison tool.

! Repairing your forum didn't work properly for versions of MySQL older than 4.0.4. (RepairBoards.php)

While I do appreciate the bug report, I also suggest you consider asking your host if it's possible to upgrade.  SMF should work on MySQL 3.23.x, but it's written for 4.0.x and higher.

Post by: [Unknown] on June 29, 2005, 01:20:43 PM
As I said above, no.  Not for major updates.  It's a big change and requires a lot of things be done by the upgrader.

If you want it to do that to keep your mods, you're crazy.  Mods won't work with 1.1 because the code is different - trying to retain them would either make SMF not work, or make the mod not work.

This is the last 1.1 release that had major new features. Complete feature freeze will be when RC1 is released. But even after that, significant changes can be made. If versions weren't different, there wouldn't be any need to release different versions ;)

If you are using the coppermine bridge, you will probably need to change this line in /bridge/smf.inc.php

cm_include_smf_funcs("$sourcedir/Load.php", array("reloadSettings", "md5_hmac", "loadUserSettings"));

to

cm_include_smf_funcs("$sourcedir/Load.php", array("reloadSettings", "md5_hmac", "loadUserSettings", "cache_get_data"));

Probably won't cause any issues unless you have an accelerator installed such as mmcache or eAccelerator.

If it's using the caching features, it will come up with call to undefined function cache_get_data and won't do anything but give that error.

You should be relatively fine then, depending on just how much you modify.  SMF upgrades are meant to leave as many database modifications as possible intact.

Post by: rhizome on June 30, 2005, 05:54:12 AM
Hi

Some noob questions so I know what I'm doing. I'm using 1.05:

1. When you say do a back up, is doing it thru SMF ok, or thru cpanel better as I've modded/hacked some files

2. Will the upgrade replace all existing 1.05 files, so any mods or hacks won't work/get written over with new files?

3. Do I need to uninstall existing mods to do the upgrade?

4. When the final 1.1 is released, will this overwrite all the beta 1.1 files again, so any re-applied mods/hacks to the beta will have to be done again? So it may not be worth upgrading to the beta at this stage and just wait until final release?

thanks for the all the all the hard work u guys have been doing

Backing up through SMF *should* be fine - it only does the database though. Can't hurt to do a cPanel backup once a while.

SMF 1.1 Beta 3 will remove all mods/hacks - yes.

You do not need to uninstall mods before installing 1.1 Beta 3

1.1 Final will also overwrite all mods. We only do package upgrades for small updates (For example 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5) - it's impractical to make them work properly with updates with thousands of lines of code changed.

Now, I have another problem.. :P

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: removetopics() in /home/guesswho/public_html/Sources/Subs-Boards.php on line 577" (this is when I try to delete a thread). :(

Anyway... SMF 1.1 Beta 3 rocks... congrats :D

Any idea when we will start seeing mods for 1.1?

I like the Visual Warning mod, and would hate to lost the post moderation facility.
Also the Global/super sticky...Topic rating & Bar of experience....

Could live without Sticky mods...but really need to keep post moderation....


Other than that.....1.1 looks totally awesome....  :D

Unfortunately, this release does have a known problem with attachment thumbnails; if you enable that option, you may have problems with excessive memory usage on some versions and configurations of PHP.  We're not sure what is causing this bug, and we're still working on solving it, but it shouldn't be a problem for most people.


Too bad you haven't been able to tackle this one yet  :'( 
but anyway, good work again!

well not one to shy away from the opportunity to break things i installed and upgraded - unsuprisingly it went very smoothly and within 5 minutes my forum of 900 members and 50,000 posts was happily sat on 1.1.3 - seemingly without any issues at all.

i have to say thanks again to the great work you guys are doing.

Many sites (like mine) are on 1.0.5, and are likely to remain in the 1.0 branch if they've any meaningful number of customisations since they can't upgrade.  Yet new future sites and mods will be in 1.1.

Will you keep maintaining the 1.0 branch so we can retain our old sites knowing that they are as secure as the latest version, and that mod authors can keep taking care of our needs as the world of forum evolves?

I don't mind I can't upgrade, but I would mind if I'm going to lost support because I'm using an older branch.

He may not be confident using beta software, we recommend that only those who are happy to take the risk of messing their site up use it. That said, the chances of it going wrong are slim as it's been used on lots of sites while in beta and during development.

Some people naturally will feel more confident sticking with 1.0.5 for now.

Good point. I have found it to be stable, although generally when I see software in beta I don't tend to use it.. I guess I have found SMF to be competent in the past and so went straight into using 1.1 Beta 1.

so what are the major template changes? i use the default template with some modifications... will the updater take them over as best as it goes or will it not?

If you diff the old files with the new, you should see them.  Modifying the default theme makes things difficult, if you did that.

The upgrader will not touch your themes.

Yes, we will.  But, eventually, we will drop support for it.  I'm not sure exactly when, but it will be months and months along - maybe years.  We haven't talked about that yet.

As for mods, I would suggest updating to 1.1 for that.  It's unlikely mod authors will want to maintain mods that work with 1.0 and 1.1, in the long run.  When we release the next major version, 1.0 will be very old news.  And, most of the people in this topic - you'll read - have upgraded their versions.  While I know people will stay on 1.0, a lot of people (especially the people who love to have mods installed) will be upgrading.  Further, because 1.1 is more efficient, I would guess large forums would all be updating too - at least, eventually.

Porting your modifications over isn't hard, and is often just as easy as a diff.  Since the source code to SMF is several megs, I'd doubt you've movidifed so much that it would be better to stay with 1.0 than to go with 1.1.

That said, I'm not meaning you should update to this beta by any means.  But, we recommend and encourage updating to the final version of 1.1, when it is available.

I would argue this is a bug in Firefox; it should store the typed value, even if some onsubmit logic changes it.  This stands to reason, because the saved value is only going to be changed the same way when entered again.

You may wish to at least ask about this over at http://forums.mozillazine.org/.  If that doesn't help, I suppose you might be able to drag out of me how to disable the hashing.... but I'd prefer not to have it disabled.

Where in CPanel did you manage to unstuff the file? Would you mind explaining abit more? Thanks.

This would be useful as my FTP sometimes disconnects when lots of files are being uploaded.

If you are using the coppermine bridge, you will probably need to change this line in /bridge/smf.inc.php

cm_include_smf_funcs("$sourcedir/Load.php", array("reloadSettings", "md5_hmac", "loadUserSettings"));

to

cm_include_smf_funcs("$sourcedir/Load.php", array("reloadSettings", "md5_hmac", "loadUserSettings", "cache_get_data"));


This works on a limited basis.  You can go into the gallery to view the pictures, even start browsing them.  Eventually you run into this error:

Like I said, things seem to be working ok after going through the upgrade a 2nd time.

On second glance, I don't think these error messages are related to the issue I described. I think this is during the time that I was performing the upgrade and ssi.php wasn't available.

Since upgrading to 1.1 beta 3 I've noticed that I have issue logging in and get randomly logged out when using firefox.

Everything seems fine in IE.

I get the error:

An Error Has Occurred!
You were unable to login. Please check your cookie settings.

However, my cookie settings are fine and have not changed

I cleared the cache and it didn't seem to fix it. However, when i cleared all cookies it works. Any known reason why the cookies get messed up from 1.0.5 to 1.1 that would make I.E. work fine and not firefox?  ???

I am having a problem getting into the Admin area. 

If I have recently logged into the forum, I can go right into the admin area, but if I have closed my browser and/or returned to the message board in a new window without logging out previously, I am UNABLE to log into the admin area. 

No errors are given and the same "log-in" page is reloaded. 

So I have to log-out and back in to the forum in order to get into the admin area. 

The following is listed in the error logs of the forum:

As the error says above, I use IE 6.0 on win 2000 Pro.  Hmm, maybe I should try this on a different browser just to see if it is browser related or server related. 

EDIT --  Same problem with Firefox.

OK, all upgraded. The smaller update did not work, saying that I had out of date files. It also made the forum stop working completely (blank page). However, I then uploaded the upgrade files, and everything went smoothly.

Nice one chaps and chapesses :)

Two issues:

1.  Attachment related:
Quote from: [Unknown] on June 26, 2005, 10:40:16 PM
Unfortunately, this release does have a known problem with attachment thumbnails; if you enable that option, you may have problems with excessive memory usage on some versions and configurations of PHP.  We're not sure what is causing this bug, and we're still working on solving it, but it shouldn't be a problem for most people.

I get this error ...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagesavealpha() in /home/httpd/vhosts/raven-flight.com/httpdocs/community/Sources/Subs-Graphics.php on line 289

... when I try to view a post that has an image attached to it.  Prior to the upgrade had no problem, now I can't see the thread unless I disable all attachments.  Is this related to the memory issue or something different?


2.  Login related:

Are you using any modifications whatsoever - theme or otherwise?  Have you updated your themes?  Does this happen with an untouched default theme?

The only mod installed is "The Bar Of Experience"
I checked all my files to see what version i had.. and the only ones that arn't up to date are the languages that i dont use.

That would be impractical as the SMF Crew says. And I understand why, most of the code got re-writen.

Anyway, follow hassan's post. Or this step by step guide:

1. Download SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public from the download page, http://simplemachines.org/download.php
2. Extract the contents into any folder.
3. Upload the contents keeping them in their folders.
4. Log into your FTP.
5. Upload all the contents into your current forum folder (i.e. overwrite them) eg. http://domain.com/forum (where domain.com/forum is your url)
6. Point your browser to http://domain.com/forum/upgrade.php
(its probably best if you check the box to put the forum into maintenaince mode while its upgrading.)

it should be a menu entry in the personal messages section. if you click on it, what you get is a list of the members you added to your buddy list. in the style of the Memberlist (rank, IM, adress, posts etc)...

i think that should be implemented before it goes final

1) This is hardly the topic for feature discussion - if you want it changed put it elsewhere
2) The buddy list is supposed to flag to you when your buddies are online primarily. In addition it makes it easier to search from the "find members" popup (Through a checkbox)
3) The buddy list does need some improvements - and also some features we haven't got in yet like automatic labelling would use the buddy list but don't exist as of yet (and won't in 1.1). I'm toying with the idea of adding an option to disable the buddy list altogether so if I get round to it you can disable it on your forum as you please.

after upgrading to this version of smf, my "total topics count dropped by about 800, we had over 5000 topics, and now it says we have 4300 topics. however, the total posts count doesn't seem to have dropped at all.
i can't seem to figure out where these topics would have gone.. we haven't done crazy amounts of merging posts..
in my "recyeled" board (where all the deleted posts go) it says theres 925 toics with 3426 posts deleted.. but , its sitll wierd that we would have dropped that many topics, but not have dropped a single post
anyone think of a reason why this happened?

-edit-
and ya, i just checked the recyling board.. and each thread is considered a topic, regardless if it was actually a topic in the other boards.. although you would already know that..

in the database it says i have 5243 topics.. and ya, we haven't deleted that many topics..

I'm not sure what to tell you.  The only things that would cause that would be:
  - if an error ocurrs before the page is done loading.
  - modifications to the default theme or source files to improperly force quick reply on.
  - possibly other modifications.
  - multiple tabs/windows at once posting.

Are you sure you hadn't modified anything before?  1.1 should upgrade 1.0's hashing just fine, unless you changed something.

SMF 1.1 has changed in many ways from SMF 1.0.  Problems have been fixed, bottlenecks have been identified, features have been added, and code has changed.  Mods and themes which worked with previous versions may very well not work without significant change with this new version.  This includes integration with Mambo, MKPortal, and Coppermine.  If you are not comfortable with this, please do not upgrade to this version.




I posted this on a forums maintenance thread in our private admin discussion area on Dynaverse.net.

QuoteJust noticed that 1.1 will invalidate most of the mods we are using, if we want to keep the features we have we may not be able to upgrade to 1.1. I saw this coming... stupid, stupid, stupid, to rely on mods of forums software for desired function... (sorry MrCue - no insult intended) I really failed to understand the mods system for SMF when I first saw it, and could have told you that this would definitely happen. I suspect that the mods and package systems (a problem all along) are what has mainly changed in 1.1. Simplemachines is setting themselves up for a fall if they continue to design thier software in this manner. (passing the buck to third parties through the mods sytem - just looks lazy to me)

I'll have to stew this over a while, either we stay at 1.0.5 permanantly and maintain the code ourselves, or start fresh on 1.1 (importing old posts if compatible).

I apologise for the tone but I'm pretty ticked by this particularly because I saw it coming since I first encountered SMF

I would ask that Simplemachines seriously consider abandoning the mods and package system and simply add the features that users want, don't pass it all off as "Oh, you can make a mod for that, but the next version of SMF will make it obsolete" :rolleyes:

I realise that the software is free (kudos!) and I do appreciate all the hard work that Simplemachines has done on the product, but there are certain standards that I feel even freeware should adhere to.

Stewing,
Bonk

Post by: Grudge on July 03, 2005, 10:09:20 AM
Bonk,

You clearly have misunderstood either what mods are or the upgrade process! SMF is, like any other software, an application with a certain amount of built in features as standard. Modifications are made by other people to add features which aren't part of the core product (For example a shoutbox, new BBC codes etc). Clearly any modification to SMF relies on CHANGING the software - they work by taking existing code and "patching" it to add the different functions.

Obviously to keep on developing SMF we need to change the code - we add new features to SMF - and that involves changing the code. Because the code has changed many modifications won't work because the old code they look for isn't there. Once SMF 1.1 is released final I expect all mods for 1.0.5 to be converted to work in 1.1 - it's just a case of waiting. Personally I've already converted half the mods I've written for 1.0.5 to work with 1.1 - and shall do the others over time.

It's impossible to expect code modifications from 1.0.5 to work on 1.1 without changes - it's absolutely impossible. Just be patient and wait for 1.1 to go final and you'll find all your modifications you installed in 1.0.5 will almost certainly be made compatible with 1.1.

As for abandoning mods and making them all features - that's just simply ridiculous. If I made a version of SMF with every mod from the mod site installed it would be both:
1) Likely insecure
2) Hugely bloated and slow

The package manager is designed to allow people to add the mods they want easily - and that will continue with 1.1. That said we have added some mods to SMF 1.1 - of particular note message icon management, holiday management and the buddy list.

Thanks very much for the explanation. I do understand the implications of modding software. (my own php applications developed on a QNX box are not online at the moment but watch Dynaverse.net for the new Dynaverse II webmap coming soon...) I have validated software for 21CFRpart11 compliance and assisted developers in achieving this: http://www.varianinc.com ... anyway...

Obviously, I mean features that are useful and merit use, the majority of mods for SMF are not very useful in my opinion.

So I'll hold tight and see what happens when 1.1 comes out of beta. Thanks again for clarifying the issue and for all your hard work on the product, hopefully I have not offended you and that you can understand my reaction to the announcement.

Oh, but wait, you mean that you expect the mod developers to make their mods compaitble? What assurance do we have that those people are even around or still interested in SMF? Will you update thier mods if they do not? Because if they don't then I'm definitely stuck with staying at 1.0.5 permanently or start maintaining SMF mods myself (a futile exercise IMO, because it will have to be done again and again..).

I installed the upgrade and everything went fine. Had it up for a while, added posts, logged in and out without any problems. I shut down my browser when I went to lunch. Came back and I could get to the main page for the forums, but whenever I tried to log in or click on a particular board, I got a generic 500 Internal Server Error message. I re-uploaded the upgrade pieces, ran the upgrade again, and now it seems to be working again. Seen this before? Is there more info I can provide to help?

Okay, here's a little bit more. At home, I run Windows XP with different user profiles. Under my main profile, I've been able to access the boards without any problem using Firefox. If I use IE, I get

"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

whenever I try to log in or click on an individual board.

If I'm logged in under another ID, using either Firefox or IE, I get the above message. I've had one user tell me that she was not able to log in until she requested a new password.

If the mods system has to stay, then what you need is a static mods api (limited by definition) that future SMF versions can adhere to so that sites depending on mods are not stuck like this. Backward compatibilty is tricky but expected from quality software.

If this is not addressed I guarantee you will slowly lose users.

Bonk,

For one, looking at other forum software around I think they all lack even SMF's level of functionality - so I don't think we are behind others in this respect. We do actually have a seperate API (Available from the download page) - but it's only really useful for mods which "sit" on SMF - rather than truely integrated into it. I'm sure there are other areas which can be improved but I don't think the system is currently a bad one.

As for mod developers updating mods - obviously there is no guarantee they will - and I personally don't have time to update other peoples modifications - but I'm sure *someone* will update them if they were that useful.

Also - SMF 1.1 does *not* mean we will be dropping support for 1.0.5. You should expect SMF 1.0.5 to be supported for bug/security fixes for at least a year after 1.1 goes final - almost certainly longer until it becomes irrelevant. Also, we do our best to make sure that whenever we make changes to the core way SMF works they don't adversely affect old templates - so only code modifications are likely to be greatly affected - and only those modifications which get right to the core of SMF. For example, I just updated my remaining 1.0.5 mods to SMF 1.1 (Those which aren't now redundant) and most of them took me about 5-10 minutes to do. The only tricky mod was the memberspecific permissions mod because that operates right at the core of SMF.

We're always open to new suggestions of course. The main reason for the modification warning is so people don't expect everything to be updated right away. If you hold off on 1.1 for a few months after it goes gold I expect you'll find all your current stuff works fine - along with the added improvements to 1.0.5 (There have been many)

Cheers,

Grudge

I installed the upgrade and everything went fine. Had it up for a while, added posts, logged in and out without any problems. I shut down my browser when I went to lunch. Came back and I could get to the main page for the forums, but whenever I tried to log in or click on a particular board, I got a generic 500 Internal Server Error message. I re-uploaded the upgrade pieces, ran the upgrade again, and now it seems to be working again. Seen this before? Is there more info I can provide to help?

Okay, here's a little bit more. At home, I run Windows XP with different user profiles. Under my main profile, I've been able to access the boards without any problem using Firefox. If I use IE, I get

"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

whenever I try to log in or click on an individual board.

If I'm logged in under another ID, using either Firefox or IE, I get the above message. I've had one user tell me that she was not able to log in until she requested a new password.

Can you please check your server error logs for a description of the error. It's a server issue - but we need to know what the error is to be able to tell you what is wrong with it. If you use cPanel they are under "Error logs"

Don't get discouraged about trying new things.  Updating it manually may seem hard but it really isn't.  Just read some of the easy to find installation/upgrade guides and make a backup and you'll be fine.  The hardest part I found was finding the nerve to do it the first time.

Are you sure you hadn't modified anything before?  1.1 should upgrade 1.0's hashing just fine, unless you changed something.


He had Mambo bridge installed before upgrade. Could that be it?

Post Count means adding to Users post count once they post in the Board, not tracking the number of posts in said board - that is done by default.

I just upgraded to 1.1 Beta 3 successfully! ;D

However, when I do a detailed version check, it says that Themes\classic\Search.template.php is still version 1.0.  Is the 1.1 beta 3 version missing from the upgrade package? ???

Delete the file.  It now uses the default template.

I posted this on a forums maintenance thread in our private admin discussion area on Dynaverse.net.

This happens in all other software too; Invision Power Board, vBulletin, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, even Windows to a degree.

I think you're really looking at this with a "doom and gloom" perspective, and I don't think you understand the issues involved.  If you have made modifications, the same things can be changed in 1.1 - you made them once, you can make them again.  The only point is to keep a history of changes you make.  It's easy.  If you installed mods made by other parties, you'll have to wait for them yo update.  That's just patience.

You say that we're setting ourselves up for a fall, but I don't think you understand the issue.  Modifications rely on things staying the same - in their very nature.  If something changes, the modification may not work - by its very nature.

An example is password hashing.  We made the way SMF hashes passwords more secure - it also transmits them in a more secure manner.  Any modifications you made to the login system, or integrations made, will probably not work... because you relied on the old hashing system.  The only way to "fix" this is to continue to use the old hashing system, or write mods in a way such that they don't rely on things.

Unfortunately, most of the third parties wrote their integrations in ways that did depend on things staying the same.  Their assumptions were wrong, but not unexpected.  I see absolutely nothing wrong with expecting them to deal with the changes.

QuoteI would ask that Simplemachines seriously consider abandoning the mods and package system and simply add the features that users want, don't pass it all off as "Oh, you can make a mod for that, but the next version of SMF will make it obsolete" :rolleyes:

This is called bloat.  Bloat is a serious issue which I have seen kill software again and again.  What you don't understand is that your forum is not the center of the universe: some people want RPG systems or baseball management, some people want integration with Mambo, some people don't want calendars.  There can be mods for all of these things... but if they are built in, if everything is built in, we might as well stop bothering to do any QA.

I'm sorry, but I think we may actually know what we're doing.  Even if SMF were commercial, I would not want bloat.  It's evil.  It's a good, clean, quick way to destroy a software product.  None of the large forums out there could ever use SMF if it was designed to be bloatware, as you wish it to be.

You're also ignoring the simple matter of time.  Time is finite.  If we write every last thing every last person wants, we'll never finish.  You'll never see another release from us.  People want EVERYTHING.  There is no end.  We could spend a hundred years bloating the software up, and people would just want more.  There's nothing wrong with this - but the whole point of the mods system is to allow people to get what they want without affecting everyone else, and without making us do make changes that shouldn't be part of the software as standard.

Yes, there are standards; not being bloatware is one of them.

Dropping the "mods and packages" system means either bloat, or people not getting what they want.

Quote from: Bonk on July 03, 2005, 10:42:20 AM
Oh, but wait, you mean that you expect the mod developers to make their mods compaitble? What assurance do we have that those people are even around or still interested in SMF? Will you update thier mods if they do not? Because if they don't then I'm definitely stuck with staying at 1.0.5 permanently or start maintaining SMF mods myself (a futile exercise IMO, because it will have to be done again and again..).

Only their own, if any is given.  We didn't make the mods, we didn't request them written.  Some people pay for developers to write mods for their installations of SMF.  We can't be expected to rewrite every mod - for example, the shop mod, the arcade mod, the mathml mod - when it is, basically, a waste of our time.  If only 1% of the people using our software want the mod updated, and the other 99% wants to see more CORE features, more stability, better performance... well, I think the answer is obvious.

You install software for your operating system, don't you?  What's your guarantee it will continue to be updated?  What if it has a bug in it?  What if it's not compatible with Longhorn, or the next kernel release?  Should this be Microsoft or whoever makes your operating system's responsibility - to fix other people's programs?

Bonk, apis are nice and fine.  They really are.  But you just can't change some things with them, and I think you're missing this.  To illustrate my point, I want you to - without recompiling a single thing - make... hmm.. make Warcraft 3 (the game) have an ingame, fully featured, scientific calculator.  You may not modify any files in the Warcraft 3 program in any way.

Oh - wait!  You say, "but Warcraft 3 wasn't designed to have a calculator in game!"  You're quite right.  Neither was SMF designed to have "RPG battles" in it.  Again, it's finite.  You just can't please everyone.  And by the time you get it as close to pleasing everyone as possible, you've added so many hooks, so many function calls, so many lines of code - that we're back to bloat.  The code is now unmanageable, filled with cruft that isn't run most of the time and is tested even less of the time, and filled with so many opcodes it's a wonder it completes a request at all.

Another example is that the current system allows mods/packages to be bug fixes.  You can't do that with an api, because you have to assume a perfect system with an api.  If the api is buggy, you've just thrown yourselves to the wolves.

Well what is kool now is that Nesianstyles - themes and portal work with Beta.  Also, what I did since the image shack is my favorite mod and I could not be without it was install an older version of SMF on my server, then install the image shack mod.  Once installed I copied the script from the default posting template in the older version and pasted into the posting template of the Beta version.  Viola, worked like a charm.

I'd basically like to make sure my mods are working cause the ones I have I like and need but at the same time I don't want to be working with a forum which will have no work done on it again.

1.0x will continue to be maintained for a while, however I imagine mod developers will begin to focus their efforts on 1.1x when it is out of beta.

If 1.0x works for you, there is no reason why you shouldn't contiune to use it.

You're also ignoring the simple matter of time.  Time is finite.  If we write every last thing every last person wants, we'll never finish.  You'll never see another release from us.  People want EVERYTHING.  There is no end.  We could spend a hundred years bloating the software up, and people would just want more.  There's nothing wrong with this - but the whole point of the mods system is to allow people to get what they want without affecting everyone else, and without making us do make changes that shouldn't be part of the software as standard.

Yes, there are standards; not being bloatware is one of them.

Dropping the "mods and packages" system means either bloat, or people not getting what they want.

Quote from: Bonk on July 03, 2005, 10:42:20 AM
Oh, but wait, you mean that you expect the mod developers to make their mods compaitble? What assurance do we have that those people are even around or still interested in SMF? Will you update thier mods if they do not? Because if they don't then I'm definitely stuck with staying at 1.0.5 permanently or start maintaining SMF mods myself (a futile exercise IMO, because it will have to be done again and again..).

Only their own, if any is given.  We didn't make the mods, we didn't request them written.  Some people pay for developers to write mods for their installations of SMF.  We can't be expected to rewrite every mod - for example, the shop mod, the arcade mod, the mathml mod - when it is, basically, a waste of our time.  If only 1% of the people using our software want the mod updated, and the other 99% wants to see more CORE features, more stability, better performance... well, I think the answer is obvious.

You install software for your operating system, don't you?  What's your guarantee it will continue to be updated?  What if it has a bug in it?  What if it's not compatible with Longhorn, or the next kernel release?  Should this be Microsoft or whoever makes your operating system's responsibility - to fix other people's programs?

Bonk, apis are nice and fine.  They really are.  But you just can't change some things with them, and I think you're missing this.  To illustrate my point, I want you to - without recompiling a single thing - make... hmm.. make Warcraft 3 (the game) have an ingame, fully featured, scientific calculator.  You may not modify any files in the Warcraft 3 program in any way.

Oh - wait!  You say, "but Warcraft 3 wasn't designed to have a calculator in game!"  You're quite right.  Neither was SMF designed to have "RPG battles" in it.  Again, it's finite.  You just can't please everyone.  And by the time you get it as close to pleasing everyone as possible, you've added so many hooks, so many function calls, so many lines of code - that we're back to bloat.  The code is now unmanageable, filled with cruft that isn't run most of the time and is tested even less of the time, and filled with so many opcodes it's a wonder it completes a request at all.

Another example is that the current system allows mods/packages to be bug fixes.  You can't do that with an api, because you have to assume a perfect system with an api.  If the api is buggy, you've just thrown yourselves to the wolves.

Sorry for posting the long quote, and I know this is a bit off-topic

But [Unknown]'s explanation of mod development and the dangers of bloatware are really good, esp. for demanding newcomers who want every little feature (me included  ;D).

I reckon if you have time [Unknown] an edited version of this would make an excellent informative sticky for newbies and others.
It gave much further understanding and insight into the development philosophy of SMF

First of all, looks great! The only problem I seem to have come up against is that when using the "Resize images when showing under posts:" option, some JPG attachments are no longer being previewed in posts. It successfully resizes some images, but other just won't display. It doesn't seem to matter what size they are or what I have the "Maximum width of thumbnails:" and "Maximum height of thumbnails:" set at.

Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Try sending yourself a message and doing the recount.

-[Unknown]

It did no good.  I also had another  person send a message and I did the same thing again.  Still no good, but at least hte number did NOT go up to two and stay.  It went back down once I deleted it after try the above suggestion. 

I have another member who is also having this problem on this same forum.  I have not noticed it on any of the others yet, but I haven't gotten any messages on them yet.  I suppose I could try sending myself messages there too.  One is on the same server, the third is on a different server!

Well, if what I suggested didn't help, it means you actually DO have another message, and something is wrong in the database.

If you're sure you shouldn't have any, run this query:

DELETE FROM smf_pm_recipients
WHERE ID_MEMBER = ###;

What is phpMyAdmin? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=21919.0)

Where ### is your id (you can find it in your profile.)  MAKE A BACKUP FIRST, before messing with the database.

I did the following:

DELETE FROM smf_pm_recipients
WHERE ID_MEMBER = ###;

With changes to reflect my number and the prefix of the table as well.  No rows were deleted.  So I searched the table for any ID Member including my number (1 of course) and there aren't any. 

Coincidentally, I think the person that also reported a similar problem is the person that sent me the message that caused this error in the first place. 
Title: Re: SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public!
Post by: SkyWarp on July 05, 2005, 03:03:28 AM
Well, I can't find any PM's anywhere, so I finally just went into the database and edited my row in the "members" table.  I turned the "unread messages" option to 0 instead of 1.  I did the same thing to the person that sent me the PM.  Let's just hope it doesn't come back! 

I also did a quick scan of the other members in the database and it doesn't appear that anyone else (other than the two of us) have more unread messages than they do total messages. 

I did the maintainance RECOUNT just for good measure, and everything still seems okay. 

Now, is there any word on the Admin log-in problem?  :)

Okay, so I had started a new theme from the default. Put in my logo, Google ads, a PayPal sponsor button and some text links. That seemed to fix everything. This morning, tried to log in (using Firefox) and got the same generic error message again this morning. All that was in my error log was:

[Tue Jul  5 03:49:58 2005] [error] [client 12.203.183.175] File does not exist: /home/ukhoop2/public_html/favicon.ico
[Tue Jul  5 03:49:46 2005] [error] [client 12.203.183.175] File does not exist: /home/ukhoop2/public_html/favicon.ico

I refreshed the page and it then allowed me to login. Now I've created a favicon.ico file and I'll see if that keeps the problem from occuring.

Two issues:

1.  Attachment related:
Quote from: [Unknown] on June 26, 2005, 10:40:16 PM
Unfortunately, this release does have a known problem with attachment thumbnails; if you enable that option, you may have problems with excessive memory usage on some versions and configurations of PHP.  We're not sure what is causing this bug, and we're still working on solving it, but it shouldn't be a problem for most people.

I get this error ...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagesavealpha() in /home/httpd/vhosts/raven-flight.com/httpdocs/community/Sources/Subs-Graphics.php on line 289

... when I try to view a post that has an image attached to it.  Prior to the upgrade had no problem, now I can't see the thread unless I disable all attachments.  Is this related to the memory issue or something different?


2.  Login related:
Quote from: SkyWarp on July 01, 2005, 07:10:05 PM
I am having a problem getting into the Admin area. 

If I have recently logged into the forum, I can go right into the admin area, but if I have closed my browser and/or returned to the message board in a new window without logging out previously, I am UNABLE to log into the admin area. 

No errors are given and the same "log-in" page is reloaded. 

So I have to log-out and back in to the forum in order to get into the admin area.

Same issue - I use Firefox as well on Win XP Pro.  Logging out and back in also solved it for me ... at least for now.  I have no mods installed.

Any updates on these issues?

The only mod installed is "The Bar Of Experience"
I checked all my files to see what version i had.. and the only ones that arn't up to date are the languages that i dont use. The english version of all files is up to date (the language i use on my board). and i use the default theme, which i haven't touched yet.. i will soon to put ads on the boards, but i dont see that having any effect on this error

I'm not sure what to tell you.  The only things that would cause that would be:
  - if an error ocurrs before the page is done loading.
  - modifications to the default theme or source files to improperly force quick reply on.
  - possibly other modifications.
  - multiple tabs/windows at once posting.

-[Unknown]

k.. im getting really annoyed with this now. i clear my cache, and the same day i'll get this error with only one window open, and one tab.. i'd try it with IE, but after using firefox for a long time, i just cant go back to IE. i even get this when i dont use the quick reply. is there any way to completely remove this error message from coming up? (like it doesn't check to see if a post has been "double posted")
and this even happends if i haven't installed any mods and before i've modifided index.template.php to put my ads up

I installed the upgrade and everything went fine. Had it up for a while, added posts, logged in and out without any problems. I shut down my browser when I went to lunch. Came back and I could get to the main page for the forums, but whenever I tried to log in or click on a particular board, I got a generic 500 Internal Server Error message. I re-uploaded the upgrade pieces, ran the upgrade again, and now it seems to be working again. Seen this before? Is there more info I can provide to help?

So myself and a couple of other users seem to be using the board now with little problems. I'm still getting scattered reports from other users who say they are still unable to access the boards - they get the same generic 500 error message. My error logs from today don't show any errors. So I really don't understand what's going on. If I reverted SMF back to the last stable version, I should retain all the posts made since the upgrade, right? Is reverting back trickier than it sounds?

any subcategory, category, forum -> the template only shows text, no background, no css, no nothing.

SMF 1.1 beta 3 i'm using. This is a strange problem. Any ideeas ?

Does your host support using search engine friendly URLs?

@skywarp:

i fixed the bug i decribed yesterday ... the problem was the empty-function. i changed line 351 in PersonalMessages.php to:


if ($context['folder'] != 'outbox' && (!empty($context['labels'][$context['current_label_id']]['unread_messages']) || $context['labels'][$context['current_label_id']]['unread_messages']==0) )
{
markMessages(null, $context['current_label_id']);
}


mabe your problem has the same reason!?

QuoteDoes your host support using search engine friendly URLs?

yes, always. Here is some more detail on the problem.

1. i have it installed as a Mambo component.
2. if i acces index.php ( the forum ) the template, css shows
3. if i click the home button it puts me in index.php/index.php - and the template doesn't load the css, and other stuff, it only outputs the tables with the text in them.
4. if from /index.php i acces any category the problem at number 3 hapens ( loads tabels with text, but no css, no background, no images, nothing ).

the rewrite WORKS, but the template is screwed up when accessing a rewriten url. Don't know why. My configuration is ok, by the way.

i have it in a numeric IP, it's not public for the moment. Could this be the problem, the fact that it doesn't have a domain name yet, or is there another problem.

but the main thing, I think, is that SEF will not work with IP addresses, only names domains.  (again, I think)

I hate to rehash old stuff, especially if it's been resolved, but I've been getting the same error- using Firefox and Safari on OS X. So, if a fix has been suggested, I admit I missed it, and I'm sorry. At this point, I'm getting a 500 error sporatically, no real rhyme or reason. A check of my error logs simply shows that there's no "favicon.ico", which I can't see affecting SMF. I've never bothered with adding my own logo for the address bar, and I've not had this problem before.

Just upgraded to 1.1 beta 3. When logging in, error 500. Nothing in the error logs, and where it's trying to get, if that means anything:

I installed the upgrade and everything went fine. Had it up for a while, added posts, logged in and out without any problems. I shut down my browser when I went to lunch. Came back and I could get to the main page for the forums, but whenever I tried to log in or click on a particular board, I got a generic 500 Internal Server Error message. I re-uploaded the upgrade pieces, ran the upgrade again, and now it seems to be working again. Seen this before? Is there more info I can provide to help?

So myself and a couple of other users seem to be using the board now with little problems. I'm still getting scattered reports from other users who say they are still unable to access the boards - they get the same generic 500 error message. My error logs from today don't show any errors. So I really don't understand what's going on. If I reverted SMF back to the last stable version, I should retain all the posts made since the upgrade, right? Is reverting back trickier than it sounds?

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=38435.0

I upgraded it to SMF 1.1 beta3 Public and I found one small issue.......

In the Labels Management, I cannot delete a Label.  When I select a Label to delete and click on the button, I get an error page saying "Sorry, this file does not exist..." which is a PHP Nuke error code.  In the browser it shows:

modules.php?name=Forums&action=pm;sa=manlabels;sesc=c320521c583664ef376809968f3a7199

I have looked and experimented, but I cannot seem to get it to work.  Is there something I can add to the code to remove that sessions type code?

thanks.....

As far as I know, this hasn't yet been resolved. I was getting the same error message about favicon.ico. I even went and created a favicon.ico. I no longer get that written to my error log, but it hasn't fixed the SMF issue either. I've posted some tips for users to work around the issue. Usually hitting 'back' and then refreshing the main index page clears up the issue.

Yay! The whole Apache/500 problem is fixed, thanks to SMF's own [Unknown].

Turn out that while I was searching for every possible combination of things like login, 500 error, and other descriptors; the actual problem is explained here:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=34270.msg253872#msg253872

I created the file and everything's running smoothly. Just wished someone could have pointed me to it sooner, since I had no clue what was causing it or how to describe the situation-- rendering my search strings moot.

Thanks also to adamspt2, who has endured the same problem and has helped me troubleshoot my installation as well as his own. Great community!

Perhaps, but make a backup first.  Always make backups.

Well, that didn't work. :) However I'm still not sure exactly where I am to be looking for Select the restrictions for this board. These restrictions do not apply to moderators and administrators. It's certainly not on the modify board page (where you change descriptions and such).

Critical problem in authorization system

The user has no right to delete any answer.

When he uses "View the most recent posts on the forum." he can delete all answers to his self opened themes. Within the theme he can't, only in the list of "View the most recent posts on the forum."

Thats a really critical problem!!

This was fixed, but it has only a very limited effect; they must be the topic starter and the topic must be on the recent posts list.  The next release will fix this - but there is a reason we ask you not to use beta versions in production if you're not sure you're comfortable with it.

You don't want to, it's for security.  But, that's not causing it or you wouldn't be able to log out.  It must be the post data - save, delete, or something...

I'm running PHP v 4.2.2 and have all of the updated files except for InstantMessage.php, which shows as 1.0.2 and ?? ... I'm guessing it got removed in favor of PersonalMessage.php?  Some of my templates are out of date, but none of the core files.

I am also having the PM issue, as well as the admin login problem.  Right now I show "0 messages, 1 is new".  On the login issue, logging out and back in solves it temporarily.

I've got the same problem with messages, it's showing I have one new when i've actually read it.  I'm also getting 8 or 9 pages of errors every time I go into my personal messages.

If you're having this problem, try this query:

UPDATE smf_members
SET unreadMessages = 0
WHERE ID_MEMBER = ###
LIMIT 1;

Where ### is your member id.  What is phpMyAdmin? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=21919.0)

Thanks, I'll try and remember how to run a query, and see if it helps :D

On the second one, it only started as soon as I installed the new version, it never did it before.  Again, I'll try it and see if it sorts it. :)

*Edit* just got the error again when I tried to log in, this is exactly what it says:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.
Apache Server at www.xxxxxx.co.uk Port 80

The query got rid of the new message, but i'm still getting a lot of errors when I visit the message section, like this one for example:

8: Undefined index: name
File: /var/www/html/forum/Themes/default/PersonalMessage.template.php (eval?)
Line: 432

*Final edit* :D  After changing the htaccess file, I managed to log in and out without problems, as did another member.  I'll see how it goes, but it may have sorted the login problem, thanks :)

The "NEW PM" problem occasionally keeps popping up.  I can't seem to figure out why some times it still happens, when other times I delete a PM and it doesn't happen.  I haven't had a new PM sent to me in a while, so I haven't had any problems recently. 

I also have several pages of errors all showing Undefined Indexes with files dealing with PM's. 

I have gone back and CHMOD all files again, just in case that might be part of the problem.  I will see if any more errors come up! 

My other forums don't have this problem though and yet I did nothing different to them.

Unfortunately, this release does have a known problem with attachment thumbnails; if you enable that option, you may have problems with excessive memory usage on some versions and configurations of PHP.  We're not sure what is causing this bug, and we're still working on solving it, but it shouldn't be a problem for most people.

I get this error ...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagesavealpha() in
/home/httpd/vhosts/raven-flight.com/httpdocs/community/Sources/Subs-Graphics.php on line 289


... when I try to view a post that has an image attached to it.  Prior to the upgrade had no problem, now I can't see the thread unless I disable all attachments.  Is this related to the memory issue or something different?


Still have this problem ... any updates or solutions or just a comment that you don't know and/or are working on it?

It will more than likely be a while.  There will probably be more beta builds released before any final builds are.  Don't let the fact that it's still in beta stop you from upgrading.  You can always backup :).

I just installed 2 copies of 1.1 Beta 3 and neither show spell check in the admin area under Features and Options. Now, it is highly possible I'm missing where it is now, or did it get removed for some reason? I searched prior mentions of spell check, but I didn't find any hits for this thread nor anything related to the most recent beta versions.  My server does have pspell compiled on it, and 1.0.5 does show and work with spell check option, I just simply cannot seen to find it in 1.1 Beta 3 Public at all...

I had assumed my previous package manager problems was because safemode was on, and that 1.1 would solve it.  Then I had problems with the package manager in 1.1 and still thought it was a safemode problem, but now I am thinking it is a different problem since the error message doesn't say anything about safemode.  As I mentioned above, the error is:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/httpd/vhosts/christmas-corner.com/httpdocs/christmas-forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php on line 767

Any idea what this fatal error means?  I checked Subs-Package.php and it is set to chmod 777, so I don't think that's the problem.

strange, but there is no error mesage both in forum logs and error log from site.
the problem is that the file .zip is downloaded in the Packages directory, it's there, why Package Manager said that he can't write there?
and of course didn't find any other mod manualy dwld there, so I can not instal any mod with package manager . . . :)

Five days ago I did a clean install of 1.1 Beta 3 and I had received the same Package Manager error as above.  I did exactly everything that Unknown had suggested (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=40867.0), and I am able to download mods now, but I'm having issues installing them.  When I go to Apply the mod, the page just hangs.  It never leaves that page.

Then last night I tried it again and it let me install two of them - and then quit again.  I had like a window of one minute.  I haven't been able to install any since.

Hi

The install wen OK, but there are few issues.

1. There is one issue however (and apologies if this has been mentioned before), that affects me under Safari and Firefox (v 1.0.6) on a Mac (haven't tried other browsers yet, but I'll let you know). In the admin panel: Registration : Settings

I've set an "Age below which to apply registration restrictions" and then I've saved and then chosen "Require parent...". However, the following boxes "Postal address..." etc, remain unavailable. I.E. I still can't input any text.

2. I am getting sporadic 406 errors when viewing teh forum. Usually, when first navigating to the site and then when clicking the registration button.

"406 Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /index.php could not be found on this server".


Obviously the second one is especially serious. Any ideas?

Thanks


<EDIT> Actually I am getting 406 errors constantlyt now. It seems to load the site initially and then upon clikcing any other link, it gets the error.

BTW I tried http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=34270.0 and I ended up with a 500 error.

Just upgrade to Beta3, easy, nice looking, smooth and fully costumize, perfect navigation for admin :)

But, mostly my forum visitor feel that this version slowly than previous 1.0.3. Especially visitor who have slow internet connection.
They told me, that always refresh 2-3 times each time displaying the forum or thread :(

At error log, many errors found like this:
8: Uninitialized string offset: 0
File: /home/forumbebascom/html/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 1726


After look at those file (subs.php), there is code
// Do any smileys!
if ($smileys === true)
parsesmileys($data);

What it does mean?
Note: I only using Ultimate ShoutBox, Image Shack, and Online User Today mods and default Themes..

Anyway, thanks for the great new SMF 1.1.
I am understand is still beta. But i am happy using it

PS: Tonight I will find and look something cause slowing down the forum. Maybe, going back to the 1.0.5 :)

For all others its in Admin - Forum - Boards -  Settings


From original post :)

I read here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=33147.0)  that 1.1 would show the child forums count as a total for the  parent forum on the front page. Has this been implemented or left out for later?

As for the  install it went well with no glitches. Just so you know I'm running

Slackware 10.1

I've set an "Age below which to apply registration restrictions" and then I've saved and then chosen "Require parent...". However, the following boxes "Postal address..." etc, remain unavailable. I.E. I still can't input any text.

Strange.  This might mean cached script.js?

2. I am getting sporadic 406 errors when viewing teh forum. Usually, when first navigating to the site and then when clicking the registration button.

"406 Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /index.php could not be found on this server".

I'm certain this is mod_security.

I also have a problem with Calendar, if that's something that might be of interest.  When I go to Calendar in the Admin Panel I get a completely blank white page.

I think I'm going to need FTP access to look into your issues thoroughly.

PS: Tonight I will find and look something cause slowing down the forum. Maybe, going back to the 1.0.5 :)

I'd bet your errors are causing the problems, but I'm not sure what to tell you about the ones you're getting.  Do you use Dreamweaver?

No,  I am using FTP to upload all upgrade files. And then do the upgrade.php.
Simple, easy, and its working. Upgrading this Beta is simple. And i love the new Navigation way  8)
Maybe the problem on my host server. I will check again.
The speed still slow from previous.
I will try clean install tomorrow (not upgrading).

Thanks for help.

So, that's the way how a theme based on Classic YabbSE works. If you use the default theme, you have a on2.gif, which shows if there are new posts in a subboard. Classic YabbSE theme doesn't have this. You could remove or rename the BoardIndex.template.php of your current theme and copy on2.gif yo the images directory of your new theme.

// If the board is new, show a strong indicator.
if ($board['new'])

Post by: Yonkey on August 04, 2005, 10:03:19 AM
I just want to say that I upgraded from YaBB SE 1.5.5 to SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public three days ago and my community loves all the new features! ;D

Of course, this wasn't a smooth conversion but given that this is a beta, I wasn't expecting it to be smooth either. :P

I had already installed a separate SMF forum from scratch (1.1 Beta 3), so when database errors came up with "missing table", I would just copy the table from the other version of SMF I had. 

I didn't write down all the error messages, but it would add the word "Array" into the CREATE line, when trying to convert some YabbSE 1.5.5 tables.  It did this with "_banned" and a couple others.  Also, it was expecting a "pm_recipients" table (which doesn't exist in YaBB SE), so I duplicated the "instant_messages" table and just altered the columns accordingly.  I then later had to update the data for "deleted" from -1 to 0 and "is_read" from "-1" to "1".

Anyway, the forum is now working great, and I've already modded a bunch of files successfully using a custom Package in the Package Manager.  Great work guys! :)

It sounds like you didn't exactly upgrade the standard way, Yonkey... what steps did you take?

-[Unknown]
Title: Re: SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public!
Post by: Yonkey on August 04, 2005, 10:13:56 AM
Ok, well I wanted to minimize the downtime of my forum, so here were the steps:

- Using CPanel, I duplicated my YaBB SE 1.5.5 "forum" dir and called it "forum2"
- I then downloaded the SMF 1.1 Beta 3 upgrade and ftp'd all files into this "forum2" directory
- I then copied the theme I was using on my other SMF 1.1 Beta 3 forum into the Themes directory
- Then I put my YaBB SE 1.5.5. into Maintenance Mode, and copied the Settings.php and Settings_bak.php to the "forum2" directory
- I then renamed "forum" to "oldforum"
- I then renamed "forum2" to "forum"
- finally, I ran upgrade.php

I know, I should have removed all my mods before running upgrade.php but I forgot about that.  That alone didn't cause many problems.. it was just the Post Groups and Member Group Colours mods that caused one of the database errors, and as a result I had to redo all membergroups after upgrading (including the standard ones like Administrator, Global Moderator, Moderator, Guest and Regular Member).

During the upgrade, I would just solve the problems either by: copying a table from my existing SMF 1.1 Beta 3 forum into this one, altering column names to the expected values, or I'd just rename the YaBB SE 1.5.5 table so that it would "skip" over it. :P

I should point out that the tables I skipped over due to "Array" errors weren't really crucial.. it was like "banned" and some some "log_" tables.

It's really fustrating!

What would get wrecked in the upgrade?

I am using location mod, and donation mod, and also have added a button to go to my coppermine
gallery. I guess the only other thing is that im not using the default smf theme...

Is there anyone that could tell me what i should make sure i have secure before i upgrade?

1.1 b3 is a BETA ... if you have mods that you can't live without or aren't up for helping to test bugs, stick with 1.0.5.

Another option is to create a copy of your working forum, upgrade that one, and see what happens on it.  If things come out ok you can feel secure in upgrading your working model, and if they don't, well, you haven't lost anything.

Hi all, I saw the Q brought up after reading all 26 pages but not really answered.  Course I may have just been glaze-y eyed and missed it too.  I'm wondering what are the plans for those who have beta to upgrade to final- similar to those upgrading from the current stable to the beta [i.e. not pkg manager]?  I ask because I want to get a basic idea of time needed to convert to the final whenever it's released- even though it might be a while off.  I run a site on my own time [as do a lot of ppl I'm sure] but I always try to keep downtime and funkay-ness due to upgrades as minimal as possible since it's a solo job come upgrade time.

Granted I realize that the dev team may not know, but I'm just asking for ballpark of 'most likely it'll be $action, but don't hold us to that.

FYI, I'm converting to SMF, so this should be an interesting ride for the next couple of hours.

Thanks Dan...though I wasn't asking whent he final would be available..I was asking on the upgrade methodology for those that are taking the betas for a test drive.  I imagine if it's similar to who those running 1.0.X upgrading to beta...then I've got little to worry about.

Understandable why people keep asking.  Site admins often have to make decisions on which direction to take their site software.  Since SMF doesn't have a CVS that people can monitor, it makes the guess-work more challenging.

Maybe a solution would be to keep a running task-list of items that need to be taken care of before the next release?  Then the answer would be "when all of the to-do items are done", which allows us to at least conjure up our own estimations.

Post by: NoRad on August 10, 2005, 04:05:48 AM
I had an interesting situation with upgrading to 1.1 beta 3.
I use Mambo and upgraded without any trouble at all. It took me about 1/2 hour to do everything, including the pre-upgrade backup process.

Here's my problem... Upon investigating the nice new admin panel, I noticed that 1 user was still pending authorization, even though I use immediate registration. This user is a known user on my site, and he has deleted his account two or three times in the past for "conspiracy" reasons. When I saw this inactive account I clicked on it and it said this user was awaiting activation. There was no information present, and a day or two ago this user had changed his name from what I was seeing here to something else (I allow users to change their displayed name). So I naturally figured this was a duplicate account that never got authorized and he signed up for another one. It was pending from May of this year.

Ok... Problem is, after I clicked to delete this account, his normal account is gone and it changed all of his recent posts that had the new username back to the old username that I just deleted and listed him as a "guest" ... So, why did it delete his current account and why was it showing up as pending activation since May? Weird.

It may have been that he changed his email, which would make him pending activation.

Or that he maybe deleted his account again? lol I dunno, but I haven't heard from him yet. The pending since May doesn't sound right thought?
Title: When SMF 1.1 is not a Beta
Post by: dar on August 11, 2005, 10:35:09 PM
When it is no longer beta, will there be an 'easier' way to install 1.1?

Some have had great success, some haven't.

The instructions assume we know what they are saying, e.g "execute upgrade.php" - I haven't a clue how to 'run' it. or what 'The following files need to be CHMOD'ed to 777.' means

Also, I have no idea whether, say blue-jeans theme, can be added.

This seems a great upgrade - but as users, not all of us understand your instructions - though I am sure many do.

Can't you 'automate' the install - even for the beta? I'm dying to use 1.1(beta)  which must be reasonably stable but the thought of installing by hand fills me with trepidation ... especially as I don't know if it is days, weeks or months before it is not a beta.

If you have hosting from someplace you can't edit the php.ini file yourself. You probably don't need anything changed in it either. If there is something your host restricts that you need, I am afraid you are going to have to ask your host to enable it.

The installation process is already very simple. Chances are, anybody that has had significant trouble didn't follow the instructions properly. This installation took less than 1/2 hour and was seriously a piece of cake. I have a heavily modified and integrated website, and I found that there were only minor changes in the themes. I used a program called WinMerge to compare my custom themes with the new themese and copied information accordingly to make mine 1.1 beta 3 compliant.

Found a bug? At least on my website. When I log into the forum and go make a post right away I get  "The last posting from your IP was less than 30 seconds ago. Please try again later." then I have to wait 30 seconds and Im allowed to make a post or reply.

Hmm I was thinking that this would make a good anti bot feature on sites with no registaration activation. A bot registers and then tries to make a post but it cant as 30,40,etc seconds hasn't passed yet. Or if they manage to register manually when the bot logs in it cant post a message. Im sure the bot can be set up for a delay but thsi would fool a lot of bots.

i don't remember know. i'll ask the girl who was helping me in the morning to see if she remembers what all we were getting. I think its just a matter of "ditzy blonde moment". yes i said that. haha. too bad i'm not blonde. lol

Maybe I'm dense or something, but I went to the download link that's in the very first posting, and I've gone through every page and don't understand one thing -

I've got 1.0.5 up and running, with just two or three mods (Helios_multi theme, Skype, and Visual Warning - which has never worked anyway), and want to upgrade to 1.1 beta 3, but don't want to lose all I've got on my forums. I have two forums running this way, and one new forum that I just used a full load at 1.1 Beta 3, it's working fine.

Now, where my brain falls out is - which of those download files for 1.1 Beta 3 do I use to upgrade from 1.0.5?  And what, if anything, will not work when I do this upgrade??? Any advice from you sage SMF'ers???

???

First thing to do before you upgrade your forum is to BACKUP !  Backup your database (which contains all the most important stuff - members, posts, permissions, boards, etc.) and your forum files, so if anything goes wrong you will be able to go back and won't lose your forum.

But as far as I know, if you are currently running 1.0.5 with mods, you will have to use the "upgrade" script from the download's page.  This means that you will lose your installed mods.  You will have to reinstall then after the upgrade is done.

This is only the first page of the logs, the Error are flooding my Logs, would be nice to disable this.

And please be patient with me, the Search function in the Board is oftne giving me this Error in the last days " Due to high stress on the server, the search function is temporarily disabled. Please try again in a short while."

As I've said before in this topic, I'm afraid 1.1 Beta 3 Public was not entirely compatible with PHP 4.1.x.  This won't cause a huge problem, but will be an annoyance until the next release.

There's like three or four upgrade scripts and I couldn't figure out which one was for which...

Well of course it could be hard and work can sux - just depends on the work, well  but i meant it more from a standpoint of doing the kind of work you really enjoy.
So for me work and freetime is the basicly the same :)

1.Will the 1.1 RC1 be late?
I don't want to be given an exact date,
I'm only asking that in order to decide if I should go for an 1.1 beta upgrade, or to wait for a while for a "stable" version.

2. I saw that a greek translation of 1.1 is missing.
If there's no such project in progress I offer myself to do the "dirty" :P work.

Thnx in advance

We don't have any date for when 1.1 (either the RC1, other release candidate or the final release) will come out.  It will be available when it's ready.

But according to ur experience u could assume an interval.
Eg. 2-3 weeks?
2-3 months?
maybe more?

As u understand the reason I'm asking is that I wanna avoid doing an upgrade, then reveritng the so many changes I've made in style, theme, smilies, buttons etc,
and suddenly to see an RC or final R after some days (due to my constant bad luck :(   )

Hi,
I just hate these "use of English" type of debates that has occurred with others I know.

So, is the "upgrade" from a previous 1.1 beta, or from 1.05 (the latest release), or from 1.x?

Or is 1.x to 1.1 Public Beta a new install?  :o

It seems so simple until people start arguing with you (me) - I say from 1.05 to 1.1 Public Beta is an upgrade (no mods or mods taken out)

Have I interpreted correctly or do I owe all my friends $10  each....  :-[?

Oh - yes, yes, I'm the person who inadvertently put blue jeans on 1.05 not reading properly it is only for 1.1 If I uninstall Blue Jeans should that then present a problem?

Your help clarifying which to use would be appreciated - thanks (the questions we get asked I hear you say ...  ;D)

Many thanks

This is confusing, but I'll try to summarize.

1.0.5 is the current stable release.
1.1 Beta 3 is a more recent release, but it's still being tested and should probably not be used on live servers (but I'm using it without trouble, however I modified my own themes to make it work).

I downloaded and installed the UPGRADE version of 1.1 Beta 3, and I already had 1.0.5 installed and running (which was updated via the package manager).
Please - I emphasize it again, make a backup of your web folder and your database.

I've got two live boards running 1.0.5 and one on 1.1 beta 3, about to go live with a fourth board and it'll be on beta 3 unless 4 comes out first.  The only problem I've had is the background colors for the Package Manager in the AP being solid white along with the script being almost white, so very hard to see. Also did some personal mods on some themes to make them work a little better, but other than that I've not seen any issues with it that haven't already been cured.  Good luck to you whichever version you pick.

Cool, I was running Helios_Multi and loaded it into 1.1 before the developer of H_M came out with a version suitable for 1.1, so my mods were actually a waste of time.  I was just too excited to wait and forged ahead with the version for 1.0.5, which if you're going to a theme that's not already verified as functional at 1.1 beta 3, I'd suggest holding off and contacting the developer of it to insure it's going to work. It took me about five nights of pounding on the keyboard to get mine working and a week later the developer dropped the actual working version here.  I should have waited... no patience...

Betas only have a few new features? So is it the change from, for example, 1.0 -> 1.1 Beta 1 that contains the majority of new features? (I.e. The change from current stable version to first beta of new version contains the most new features)?

This "beta" version seems very stable and really shows the speed changes made.  I have been running them on test sites since the public release.
So the real question is, since I have older versions on my sites ( heavily moded that will only UpGrade ).  What is the best upgrade solution for the new 1.1 release ?
UpGrade to 1.05 or run the Beta ?

Well, I would upgrade to 1.05 via package manager, then install the 1.1 beta 3 UPGRADE zip file manually. When 1.1 is finally out it you will probably already have your templates and everything fixed and it will be a simple upgrade.

I didn't have any trouble with the smilies or images. It only required some tweaking of the themes. Most people probably only use 2 or 3 custom theme files so it shouldn't take very long to update.

Should it take that long?  :(  :'(

Hello.......

I'm using SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public. It looks nice. However, I found some bugs. I really hate the problems. I want to rollback to the stable release of SMF. Can I do it?

For your information, I was using SMF 1.0.4, then upgraded to 1.1 Beta 3 Public.
Can I downgrade it to SMF 1.0.5 ?

No.  As emphasized previously, that is not possible unless you simply go back to a backup.

What problems are you experiencing?  Just the pm new count thing (which was covered earlier in this topic)?

ILY...    did you do an upgrade or a fresh install?

Are you using templates that were designed for 1.0.x?


I suggest getting a fresh copy of Calendar.php from the zipped SMF download. See if you still have the error after that...

Please update to SMF 1.0.5 first, and then to SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public.  In the next major release, you'll be able to update directly from older releases.

Just the 1.0.5 upgrade.php.  You don't need anything else, actually, just upload that upgrade.php and run it.  Once done, upload the upgrade.php from 1.1 and run it.

Do you mean that I don't need the other files in the zip file? Just upload the one called upgrade.php? From which zip file? smf_1-0-5_update.zip did not work.

I have 1.0.5 Beta Public

What zip file do I download to upgrade to 1.0.5? 1.0.5 update zip or 1.0.5 upgrade zip?

Do I need to upload all the other files in the zip before running upgrade.php?


Title: Re: SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public!
Post by: [Unknown] on September 05, 2005, 07:26:21 AM
You have SMF 1.0 Beta 5 Public.  SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public's upgrader does not support SMF 1.0 Beta 5 Public.  To upgrade to SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public, you will need to first upgrade to SMF 1.0.5.

What did not work about smf_1-0-5_update.zip?  Both update and upgrade contain upgrade.php.

You do not, as I said, need to upload any of the files (for 1.0.5) except upgrade.php.  This is because you want to upload the 1.1 Beta 3 Public files anyway.  However, The upgrader may give you an error (about out of date files) in which case you will need to upload all of the other files.

Security and major bugfixes went into 1.0.5, as with every minor release.  You can see the release announcements in this board for more detail.

I strongly suggest you update to at least 1.0.5 (1.1 Beta 3 Public is newer but less stable.)

It doesn't give me an error, although twice it said there was. The site cannot be accessed.

Most of the time it says sometimes like "database down due to server or capacity problems" Then sometimes I can just refresh and it'll say somthing is wrong with the theme and that i can select the default.

I think it's theme issues. Even though the theme works sometimes. I have 5 sites running on 5 different domains/DBs and a fresh install of 1.1b3. Three of them keep messing up and I have to reinstall. It only does it when I change the theme to something other than default. Alotta times it'll  be working and I won't even touch it. get up teh next day and visit the site and it'll be down.

Even on creating a theme through the site, or another that works with 1.1b3.

I'll try to get the proper information for you. However it never gives me and error message directing to a file and line of code..

I have also contacted my webhost to see if there are problems on thier end.

Yeah, I'm curious when the finalized version will be up, also. I've just gotten all the bugs worked out for my forum with the old 1.0.5 version, and I'd prefer to wait until this gets the final kinks out before I have to deal with a new can of worms...

So, any date expected?

I really doubt there will EVER be a "final" version, as that implies that there will be no more releases.  The nature of an open-source project is that there is always someone working on it to improve or add something.

Also, the team is constantly telling people not to ask when a release might be out.  It'll be out when it's out.  Don't bug them.  Remember that these people are doing this in their spare time - they aren't getting paid to listen to people whine at them ... at least tech support people in an office get some compensation for their trouble.  Give these guys a break and quit hounding them about the next release or the next feature or the next whatever.  Take it as it comes and be happy that they are producing the best forum software on the market ... FOR FREE.

I had a similar issue and it turned out it was template related ... i.e. I could see the attachments as they were supposed to be ONLY when I was using the default template.  Since that was the only trouble I had, I haven't ditched my template, but I'm eagerly awaiting the official 1.1 version of it :)

So ... if you have been using a template, try viewing your forum with the default template ... check out your attachments.  If they look normal, then it's probably the theme you were using.

That might stop maybe half of the repeated questions.

Ok, I finally got around to putting the test site back together. I get two e-mails from my webhost saying I got a DB error. When I check my error log on the site, all I get is this:

http://www.veoclan.com/smf/index.php?action=packages;sa=install2;package=board_notes_1.0.2.zip
Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: Undefined variable: result
File: /home/.abigaildryer/xarcell/veoclan.com/smf/Packages/temp/db.php
Line: 12

How does one forum error, cause 2 DB errors? I'm a dummy with this kinda stuff, so forgive me if I don't make sense. I gave you all the info I could get on the error.

Maybe I should take a look into the package that was installed.

That error is caused by a bug in a mod.

The email you are getting is because your database server is either going down, or you are getting too many visitors for your server.  You'll have to contact your host.  It has nothing to do with that error, and it is not preventable.  When you get the email, a user sees an error message, saying a connection to the database could not be made.

All my other websites work fine. Including a my other freshly installed 1.1b.

EDIT: I just noticed that if I click the link from my previous post, the site comes up. However, when I visit the index, I get the STU problem.

EDIT: I was able to look at my error log, there are no other errors showing. BTW, I get 192 GB data transfer a month, the most I've ever used is 10GB in a month. So far this month(past 10 days) I've only used 147.840 MB.

Yea, I'm trying to get that information now. I'm starting to feel like they are trying to blow me off. Thier policy is to respond within 24 hours. It took them 3 days for the last response. They've had serious power outage in the LA area, but from what they said, it's been fixed.


Maybe they are just swamped with complaints. However, as soon as I get the information I'll pass it along. I've already asked once though, and they didn't answer the question. So I gotta try again.

maybe i will try to reinstall 1.0.5 and use a back up ( and loosing many posts and memberships) or simply change the software for a more stable one...    Eventually  I have to do something about it  and soon.

*lol* We want to make money? :D
SMF is free! Nobody of us received any money since a few years. So please stop telling such things :)...

You're not a charter member, so you'll have to wait until 1.1 Final.


  that is the post who made me think this way  ...  OK then , no problems

Why? I say the truth - everybody have to wait until a release is official, except Charter Members.

Seeing SMF 1.1 RC1 at the bottom here gives those of us that have emailed many times asking about being a charter member (with no playpal) with no response hope for a new release soon :-X

I know that I should upgrade to the latest version, but I'm just interested. Is it just me that can't get the ban feature in SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public to work.

I've tried banning some test users that I set up using all the different methods and they can quite happily keep logging in and posting.
