Install Forum Module

Trying to install the forum module on Dolphin 7.2:

Installation of: Forum Failed

Is this an upgrade from the first beta or a fresh install? If an upgrade, make sure all files from the path were uploaded. Also make sure you updated the header.inc.php file.

 Sorry, fresh install. What exactly needs to be updated in header.inc.php?

To be clear, I mean if the site is a fresh install or not. In either case, check /inc/version.inc.php. It should have this:

$site['ver']               = '7.2';
$site['build']             = '0'; // Beta 2

Then check /modules/boonex/forum/install/config.php and look for:

    'compatible_with' => array(
        '7.2.0'
    ),

Do both match?

$site['ver']               = '7.2';
$site['build']             = '0'; // Beta 2

    'compatible_with' => array(
        '7.2.0'
    ),

 Yes, they match. I am going to try reinstalling the Beta on a different directory and see if the same issues still occur. Last time I installed it I used the same directory my old version was running on and overwrote the files so maybe something got messed up.

That's probably why you're having all these issues. It's possible some files weren't replaced, or otherwise the old files are causing issues.

So, I did a clean install in a new directory and almost all my issues were fixed. Sorry for the dumb problems caused by my previous sketchy install! Almost everything works great. I do have one minor issue left with the forums though and didn't want to make a new topic for it:

Embedding an image in a forum post (or a blog post for that matter - anywhere with the text editor) doesn't work. When I go to upload a picture it opens up a screen called "MoxieManager" which proceeds to tell me that "Path isn't a username: /(myusername)", and then the "Upload" button at the top is non-responsive.

Embedding a video: it kinda works, but not exactly correctly. If you try to upload a video from your computer and embed it, the same thing will happen as described above. Embedding from YouTube works, but you have to manually edit the embed code.

Say I post a link to a Youtube video in the source box: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGK61Jqq3c"

I click on the embed tab and the text box reads: "<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/HMGK61Jqq3c" width="425" height="350"></iframe>"

For some reason, you have to manually type in the "https:" in front of the link, or it won't work. Once you do that, it works, but I don't feel that the user should have to do that.

Overall, love the beta, but let me know if there are any ways around the issues I mentioned. Thanks!

For MoxieManager, make sure the permissions are setup for /media/moxie/files and /media/moxie/storage. Both should be 777, depending on the PHP setup.

Is the embed issue for the forums as well? I'll need to check to see if it can be reproduced.

 I set the permissions to 777 for both and the same thing happens. Yes the issue is in forums and blog posts.

Only other reason I've seen this is if PHP is misconfigured. Make sure open_basedir has no value, same for disabled_functions.

 I see that open_basedir has a value. Where do I go to change it?

What's the value? And you'll need to use a php.ini file to change it. Create one under /public_html with these contents, and see if it works (note that if the audit tools list PHP as FastCGI/FCGI, also try naming the file .user.ini):

open_basedir = 

Nothing after the equals, that's intentional.

 The value is "/var/www/vhosts/**mydomain**.com/:/tmp/".

Did you mean to create that public_html directory from the root directory of the server and then create those files inside it? I did that and nothing changed.

I appreciate the help, btw

open_basedir = 

Is this a Plesk server? If so, just head into the account, and under the Websites & Domains tab, click on PHP Settings and select 'none' from the dropdown menu for open_basedir. If for some reason that's not available to you, then create the .ini file under /httpdocs, or whatever directory the site is installed under.

 Ha, that actually worked. Awesome man, brilliant. The embed link cutting off thing still happens, though, but I imagine that's a bug happening for everyone. Thanks again
