Xoops Bridge Beta 2

Not in a php file, you'll need to do that in your .htaccess file

Hi thanks but it is not working at all, server gives failer

I would suggest never redirecting things with your .htaccess or you will have problems with cookies and sessions.

I'm having some problems with the bridge.  I skimmed through the pages here and I didn't really find the answers. One thing I did do is make sure Xoops and SMF can access the db.

I've installed the bridge and it shows up in Xoops, but I can't seem to configure it. I think I entered the path to SMF wrong, but now I can't get back to that page to correct it... every time I click on the link to configure I get a blank page, or a 500 error notice.

How can I get back there?


BTW -- I formerly used the Mambo bridge, but I have given up on Mambo.  The bridge worked well, but Mambo proved too difficult for me to alter the theme and content, etc.

I've figured out how to get back there... I clicked on "Preferences" on the little floating menu thingy you get when you mouseover the image on the menu.  So I've changed the path (I got it from the server settings admin page on SMF).

But it still gives me an error 500 page when I try to configure anything else. 

I thought maybe it had to do with file permissions, so I changed everything to 777 in the SMF module folder.  This didn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

You are using a path, and not a URL?

Correct.

Are SMF and Xoops installed on the same server?

[ecoomber]

Are SMF and Xoops installed on the same server?

Umm... I think so.  The Xoops and SMF have their DBs in the same place, if that's what you mean.

And they each have access to each other's DB too.  Should they be using the same username to access them?

[Orstio]

I'm not talking about databases, actually.  I'm referring to server paths.  Do scripts at the Xoops location have access to scripts at the SMF location?  Are they within the same open_basedir restrictions?

What exactly do you mean?  I'm sorry, I have no idea what you mean.

All of the files are on the same sub-domain, and Xoops is in the main directory. SMF is in a sub directory there.

OK, do you have MS Frontpage installed?  Is it set as your default editor of PHP files?

Is that like "FrontPage extensions"?  If so, they are currently not enabled.

Or, do you mean the FrontPage program on my computer?  (yes, I have it, but I don't really use it)

If you double-click on a PHP file, does FrontPage open up automatically?

No.

I'm going to need to see a URL.

I'm going to need to see a URL.

http://home.535aircadets.info  for Xoops
http://home.535aircadets.info/forum for SMF

Do you have a .htaccess file in your modules directory?

Do you have a .htaccess file in your modules directory?

In Xoops, no.
