I have a clean install of Joomla 1.08 with Community Builder 1.0 Stable.
I installed SMF in a directory at the same level as the Joomla website. All appeared to be working well.
I have installed the SMF/Joomla Bridge. In the config I selected use the CB registration. and syncronised the users.
I linked SMF to the main Joomla menu as a link - url.
Now when I load the Joomla page I get the following message at the top of the page
Please don't access SSI.php by URL directly; you may want to use the path ('SSI.php') or add ?ssi_function=something.
with firefox the page still loads but under ie I get bigger problems
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://localhost/a/psfc/'. Line 1, Position 1
Please don't access SSI.php by URL directly; you may want to use the path ('SSI.php') or add ?ssi_function=something
I have uninstalled the bridge and the problem is still there.
What has the bridge done to my Joomla installation and how do I fix i?.
Thanks
Ron
in your bridge configuration (in joomla admin), did you enter the path to SMF as a PATH or as a URL?
I have the same problem and I entered it as an url i think
How can I fix this?
go back into joomla admin smf bridge configuration and change the setting...
maybe stupid question, but when I let the path create automaticly it doesnt work (when i trie to migrate from joomla to swf i get a page only containing the word 'index')
My site setup is as follow:
www.mysite.com/joomla
and smf is installed in
www.mysite.com/joomla/smf
Which path should I use.
Neither of those - you need to use an absolute path, not a URL. Something like /var/www/html/joomla/smf or /home/sooi/www/joomla/smf. You can get an idea of what it should be by looking in you Joomla global configuration on the Server tab. Look for what it lists in Absolute Path:, and it looks like you should just add /smf to the end of that.
Thanks for the reply.
I looked up the path in the server tab and added /smf.
I get the same path that was suggested by the component.
But I still can't migrate the users.
I still get a page with the sole word 'index" on it when I click 'Migrate'.
When I used the url I could migrate, but then I couldn't get my basic Joomla page!
Which other steps could i take?
these settings i found in my joomla global configuration
abs path /customers/mysite.com/mysite.com/httpd.www/joomla
Live Site: http://www.mysite.com/joomla
I don't really understand the way the absolute path is created
Go to your SMF admin panel. Click on Server Settings. Near the bottom, you will find a textbox labelled "SMF Directory". In that textbox is your absolute path to SMF. Copy it from there, and paste it into the bridge config.
Same problem.
It gives the same url.
No, it's not a URL. A path is not a URL. A path looks something like this:
/home/user/public_html/forum
A URL looks like this:
http://www.site.com/forum
You do not want a URL. Do not use a URL. You need to use a path, not a URL.
