ChatBot: Error: Connection status: 500


Arantor

You would be best asking in the mod's support thread about that.

TheListener

An error 500 just means the permissions have to be set to 755

Arantor

No it doesn't. Normally 403 is permissions not correct.

500 is a server error somewhere. Check the forum error log, and also webserver error log.

If you get a 500 Connection error you might have to set your file permissions as well.

There are 2 folder for the AJAX Chat Intergration Mod "Chat" and "Shoutbox".
For AJAX Chat Intergration Version 3 "Folders" be sure to change the file permissions (CHMOD) /chat/index.php and /shoutbox/index.php to 755


Arantor

This won't solve every case; in fact it is actually unlikely to solve very many issues at all, IMO.

If the server allowed you to install the mod through the package manager it should not require any such changes.

This is why I asked for the logs, so we could actually look at the true error - and see if it is permissions or not.

how to set chmod value to 755 ?

i can change it to 777,766 & 744  easily but 755 is not available ?

Arantor

755 is all for user, read+execute for group and read+execute for all.

How are you trying to set the chmod?


Oldiesmann

What do you mean that 755 isn't available?

755 = rwxr-xr-x (owner has read, write, execute, group has read and execute, others have read and execute)

I'm having this problem too on my smf forum, is this where I can get some help?  I really want to use this mod but keep getting the same error message.  I'm a newbie and don't really know what to do.

thank you,

TheListener

TodaysSurvival better support will be found in the ajax chat integration topic.

Arantor

This has been covered several times in the dedicated thread for the Ajax Chat Integration mod. Have a search in that topic (from while you're viewing it) and it should cover how to fix it.

I was editing my post as you posted. Plus I actually linked to the relevant thread to make life easier.

TodaysSurvival

Any way you can point me to a specific post?  It's a 306 page thread...looks like. 

Arantor

It's in there several times.

As I said, you can search an individual topic; use the 'This topic' option in the top right area of the screen to search it.

TodaysSurvival

Very frustrating I can't seem to figure it out

Arman007

Thanks Arnator & others
