SA Chat

[Bob La Londe]

I am on a host that allows me to configure mostly as I need to, and I have a fully functioning C-panel. 

I assigned permissions as 755 for all files. 

I clicked on FIX Chat Bar. 

I am runing 2.0.8

Current theme is default - curve

Chat bar does not show up. 

What to check next?

Hi,
Did you enable group permission for SAchat in SMF admin mode ??

I have tried it both enabled and disabled.  When enabled I went into member group permissions and checked (A) Allowed regular members to see and use the bar. 

I am not on a free host.  My use of the word free (which was removed) was intended to mean "not stupidly restricted."

I uninstalled this mod but it left a bunch of tables in my database. Are there any others besides these I need to delete to get rid of this mod?

There shouldn't be. Just delete them.

Maybe even trying the default theme could help, even if I won't bet a penny on this last one.

Still, try the default theme.

Also... Errors in the error log?

If all answers are negative then check if EACH one of the edits and the files were dono/uploaded correctly.

I think I'll back off on this and use an external chat for now.  Its not high useage.  I was just hoping for something that would integrate the SMF database.  I'll keep an eye out for a new major release.  I've spent quite a lot of time on it, and it doesn't even show no matter what I do.  Your last comment seemed to indicate it will require some manual edits as well.  I guess I missed that on my first read through. 

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

It *shouldn't* seeing the mods you have currently installed... It is supposed to work if it says that the installation was completely succesful... It won't change very much in the future releases methinks, well more things will be added (I kinda know what ) but the code written so far won't be changed that much...
I'm with my girlfriend now so I don't have really much time to spend on here (mainly I relax after lumch or dinner or.. ehm.. something else ), if SA™ can help you in the meantime or either wait until after 15/08...

[Kindred]

Well, it is installed and working for my sites with no issues what so ever... And no manual edits.

Issues with other mod conflicts or issues with server configuration may be related to problems encountered.

did you chack your server error logs? there should be a clue there

[Bob La Londe]

Just grabbed a quick sample showing SA CHAT.  Its uninstalled now, but if you see what the problem is I can give it one more try.

Looks like a badly configured server to me...

Looks like a badly configured server to me...

And yet everything else works.  Thanks for the "help."  I'll keep using the external chat then.  Thanks anyway. 

[Arantor]

Nah, it's just that your file permissions are too high. They're probably set to 777 or 775 and should be 755. (Well, 755 for folders, 644 for files)

[Bob La Londe]

Nah, it's just that your file permissions are too high. They're probably set to 777 or 775 and should be 755. (Well, 755 for folders, 644 for files)

Sigh!  The default settings were 755/644.  Then earlier in this thread somebody said they should all be 755, and if that doesn't work try 777 just in case.  Sometimes I think folks are just messing with me.  I uninstalled it a while ago, and won't re-install it again (for a fifth or sixth time) until I see something that makes sense to get it to work. 

[Arantor]

Seriously, I'm just going off the error message that you posted.

It says: writable by group. That would be the second number in the block of three. The numbers are made up of 4 for read privilege, 2 for write privilege, 1 for execute privilege, and the order of numbers is 'for the owner', 'for groups', 'for everyone'.

In which case, 755 on a folder would mean: the owner can read/write/execute (which for folders means accessing them), while groups and everyone can read/execute (which means they can access but can't write)

644 on files works the same way since PHP files don't need execute privileges.

And it sure looks like /home/diycompo/public_html/yumabassman.com/forums-new/sachat/index.php isn't being set to 644 from the error message given.

Anyone?

There shouldn't be. Just delete them.

Please read the messages?

[MyTime]

i'v downloaded this mod also and it use to work before i started the forum all over again , I can't find it anywhere after being installed, this is driving me crazy.

[SA™]

SA chat /maintenance/fix bar

run that it should show after

[MyTime]

After clicking that fix bar it takes me too a page that says this.

500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

[SA™]

that is a mod secrity issue speak to your host
pls note this will be fixed in the next version

[MyTime]

I just removed my whole forum and just started over, It's probably best too just add a temp folder in the package directory before starting any type of installing , i feel like that's what messed everything up, just started too install and uninstalling before doing it the correct way, I'm also doing it all on the default theme first while having the custom one installed and ready too use but not using it while doing all the mods are set up first.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Bad idea since you won't be able to spot errors that you may encounter with your custom theme... Also be careful to install the mods for every theme...
