Help needed, bridge is not working anymore...

[Vortexvan]

Hi together,

i upgraded from mambo 4.5.2 to joomla 1.0.7 .. so far no problem.
(the bridge and the forum working).
after i upgraded the forum to 1.0.6 the bridge stopped working.
i uninstalled the bridge and installed 3.19 a but still no luck
every time i try to log in i'm dropped to the forum but cann't login.

If i call the forum directly via www.xyz.de/smf.... i can login ....

I followed the step by step installation guide by the book, also edited the
index.php file from my template like mentioned in step 4....

But i don't know where the problem is....

I do have my domain linked as a subdomain at my provider...

www.xyz.de  points to a subfolder from my masterdomain www.zyx.de

so i assume it's a path problem somewhere in the config files... but i can't narrow it
down.

The configuration in the SMF Components seems to be OK.

The only strange thing i remember is that the Prefix for the SMF database disapear as
soon as i hit the save button...

in 3.19a, there is no longer an option for the smf prefix...   you are not using 3.19a.

[Vortexvan]

Mh...
Ok i downloaded this file

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=25718.0;attach=13533

after that i uninstalled the old bridge...

a.) from the smf forum packetmanager
b.) joomla

after that i installed it with the step by step guide again,
first in smf then joomla etc..

but i'm not sure.. i even manually deleted all files in the component folder
and also administrator/component folder.... (... the smf related folder..)

in the component overview i'l find version nr. 3.19 should it be 3.19a ?

Ok... i try again ...

Since i had to move the files and directory during the update from mambo
to joomla. All files lost their original "owner" so at this point i have to use
the Joomla uninstaller to remove the entries in the db. After that i have to
manually erase the files in the joomla structure.

Maybe i missed one...

ummm...

why did you have to move files and directories?
(when I upgraded, I just overwrote mambo with Joomla...)

anyway...

Delete the menu item pointing to com_smf
remove the component com_smf
remove the component com_smf_registration
remove the module mod_smf_login
Delete the directory and all contents: components/com_smf
Delete the directory and all contents: components/com_smf_registration
Delete the directory and all contents: administrator/components/com_smf
Delete the directory and all contents: administrator/components/com_smf_registration
Delete the file: modules/mod_smf_login.xml
Delete the file: modules/mod_smf_login.php

remove the SMF package...   confirm removal by checking index.php, Sources/MOS_SMF.php and Sources/Subs.php

reapply the bridge, step by step

[Vortexvan]

Ok, everything is deleted in joomla....

also in smf...

but i can't install the mos package in smf....

2: copy(/is/htdocs/xyz/www.cimad.de/udoweb/smf/Sources/Subs.php~): failed to open stream: Permission denied
Datei: /is/htdocs/xyz/www.cimad.de/udoweb/smf/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Zeile: 1307

which files needs permission??

Regards

index.php and sources/subs.php

but, I think that error is in the sources DIRECTORY!  it can not copy the subs.php into subs.php~

[Vortexvan]

Ok i chmod all subs* files to 777 and also the directory... still the same error.
index is also 777 ...

puhh any suggestion 

[Vortexvan]

Somebody has the same Problem as i... or better made the same mistake...

anyway no answer to his post....

[Vortexvan]

found something here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=35529.0

i disabled the backupfunction in the packetmanager installation.

now i'm getting this error...

2: fopen(/is/htdocs/xyz/www.cimad.de/udoweb/smf/Packages/installed.list): failed to open stream: Permission denied
Datei: /is/htdocs/xyz/www.cimad.de/udoweb/smf/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Zeile: 1476

[Vortexvan]

Its all because of permission problems...
not only chmod but also the "owner" of some files ....
if a installation runs through a installion file on the server the
owner of the files is "nobody" 

During the update from mambo to joomla i downloaded all files from my
site and uploaded them again...
The permission of the files don't changed but the owner changed from
nobody to my ftpuser...

[Kindred]

vortex...

However, if the file is 777, then it does not matter WHO the owner is!

next point...   your packages directory and the files in it must also be 777.

[Vortexvan]

Yepp big THX!!!

that's the solution for me...
just in time... lol i was planing to do a clean install...
made backups allready...

Again thanks for your help!

Mh.. strange Problem....

the Bridge is not working ...
I now integrated coppermine in SMF via the internal Bridge in Coppermine...

But if i log in from the Joomla Page vie SMF Module Log in, i'm only logged in
to smf and coppermine but not joomla itself...

i made the changes to the index.php like mentioned in step 4 ...

In MOS_SMF.php, we need to end the old Joomla session.  Because the name of the session cookie changed in Joomla, we need to change the code a bit:

Find (for login and logout functions...):

Code Select Expand


setcookie ("sessioncookie","",-3600, "/" );
Replace with:

Code Select Expand


    $sessionCookieName = md5( 'site'.$GLOBALS['mosConfig_live_site'] );
setcookie ($sessionCookieName,"",-3600, "/" );

[Vortexvan]

i changed it, the code is in line 323 in the MOS_SMF.php
but it doesn't help with my problem..
Is there somehow a debug mode?
I searched to the error Protokoll of my Provider but there
is nothing usefull.


In line 96 there is the following code:

Code Select Expand

$sessioncookie = mosGetParam( $_COOKIE, 'sessioncookie', '' );

do i have to edit it to??

[Kindred]

does that line of code look anything like the ones we asked you to modify?

(in other words, no)

[Vortexvan]

No.... thats the reason why i ask...

anyway still no luck, any more suggestions??

[Orstio]

It appears twice in MOS_SMF.php....

[Vortexvan]

Yes thx...  i also found it in line 370 and replaced it accordingly...

but still no luck.. since i run into problems after the upgrade i decided to
do a "clean" install so i made a backup of the smf_ tables and deleted them
and also the smf folder (first i uninstalled all components and the module in
joomla) i made the new installation and restored the database tables with the dump.
After that i installed the bridge via packetmanager again...
etc etc... 

So after all i'm again where i started...

the module in joomla is working, i registered a new user (Willi) sucessfully
.. the user was created in joomla and also in SMF Usertables.

But still i can't login to joomla... only via the joomla login....

Really don't know what else to do...

[Orstio]

And this is still Joomla 1.0.7?
