Well not quite 10 hrs..

Hi, I recently decided to try a copy of Dolphin- primerily for the Forum function ( url: http://www.pegging-forum.com ).

however I dont seem to be able to get the Orca forum to work? when I click on the FORUM link iget the following

Not Found

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I have installed the Module, and this "says" its done, but then clicking on the Orca Forum Module in the admin panel i get the same 404.

I have read this forum for some time, and checked things like .htaccess ( re uploading the fresh one ) and also shecked permissions of folders and files But still no joy.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Are other modules on  your site working fine?

Hy, yes all the others seem to be OK, so far..

i had this problem when using a different template other than uni because i did not upload the new template pages for the forum.

So my first question is - are you using the uni template, or did you change templates.

Second, if you look in your boonex/forum folder, do you have a file named index.php. if not, then that would most likely be your problem.

If you do have the index.php file, then the only thing that i can think of is that you have a permission problem.

Check out the first two solutions, and if those do not resolve your problem, then we can start looking at your permissions

scratch the first part about the template, i just looked at your site and you are using the uni template. so the next step would be to make sure that the index.php file is there.

Hiya, yes I am using the UNI template ( I do have another that I want to use, however need to get the forum sorted first) and I do seem to have an index.php file in my boonex/forum folder

I have looked at the permissions of the forum folder, and changed them to pretty much every value with no effect..  have also done 3 clean installs and still have the problem?

I did seem to get a little further by moving the /forum/ folder to the root, but got an erroR instead of a 404:

Warning: require_once(/home/p/e/peggingfour/public_html/forum/integrations/base/../../../../../inc/header.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/home/p/e/peggingfour/public_html/forum/integrations/base/config.php on line 14

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/p/e/peggingfour/public_html/forum/integrations/base/../../../../../inc/header.inc.php' (include_path='.://lib/php') in/home/p/e/peggingfour/public_html/forum/integrations/base/config.php on line 14

Is this any better, as the link seems to want to point to the root?

place everything back where it was at.

Are you able to see the group owner of your forum folder??? I believe that your group should be: pegging-forum.com (503) and the owner should be: pegging-forum.com (507)

Are you able to open the error_log file in your forum folder??? If you can open this error_log, post the last 5 lines.

Also, do you have root access to your server???

Thanks for the reply - I have placed the folder back inside modules/boonex/forum

I am not sure what you mean by

"Are you able to see the group owner of your forum folder???

Are you able to open the error_log file in your forum folder???"

I am VERY new to PHP- and CMS so I ask that you go easy on me with all but the obvious..

Tony

LOL you seems to have edited whilst I was typing,

But still the only question I can answer without further clarification is that I do have root access to my site, the others about GROUP OWNER Im not sure what you mean, or where to look to check

did you happen to upload any files to your server while logged in as root???

I uploaded all of the files inside the /dolpin/ older that I downloaded to the public_html/ on my server if thats what you mean?

First question - is your server in front of you or at a location that you can not get to???

2nd question - are you using an FTP program to upload files to your server??

Just so i am clear, is there a seperate process for installing the forum?

so far i have:

Uploaded all files to the server

Installed Dolphin (seems to work)

Installed Modules (all seem to be working)

Installed Orca Forum (shows as done - but Broken links in ADMIN PANEL and on site)

Q 1 No, the site is on shared hosting (webfusion)

Q 2 Yes, I have used Dreamwaver CS5 and also FILZILLA during the clean installs.

One thing that I noticed when uploading files to the server and having root access is that sometimes parts of the site do not work, because it is only allowing root priveledged person to access it since root uploaded it.

I have only been dealing with web development for two years now, and I understand what you are going through. I just want to make sure that we cover the basics first, and then see what we can figure out.

ok, great. now I have a better picture of your side of things.

So, next - in Dreamweaver  CS5 - which I also use - go to the remote view of your site, and then go to your modules/boonex/forums folder. If you right click on the forums folder and go to set permissions, this folder should be set at  755.  Iwill wait for you to respond before going further.

Yep - set to 755.

hi, that is what I thought initially - as the FORUM link seem to want to look to root for the forum ( hence me moving the forum to root before)

here is whats in the file at /modules/boonex/forum/.htaccess

AddType application/xml .xsl

I did note that all of the/m/ links are broken, but turning off permalinks seemed to solve this, (not the underlying issue though.)

The root htaccess looks like:

Good one Rhimpr. did not think about that.

when you set up the ftp connection to your site, did you use root as the username???

No i didn't use root as the username when I set up

Hi again, yes they are all green

try rerunning the sql file for the forum

Do you have your FTP Client (Dreamweaver) set to "Binary" transfer or "Default"?  If it's in default you may not be getting all the code as it's written.  Try setting it to Binary and reuploading the files.  As far as re-running the SQL goes, that is not uploading the files, SQL is a database query and that means uninstalling and re-installing the forms via the Admin panel.

One of my mods did not install properly, so i ran the sql file that is within the install folder and it was fine after that.
