problem with orca in d7.

hi,

i migrated all my data from d6.1.6 to d7. everything works fine. apart from orca forum.

clicking on forums in menu bar it show a blank screen .... nothing appears. i cant even see any menu options or anything.

in site stat it shows data has been migrated from old 6.1.6 forum to D7 forum, but it does not show anything when i click forum. it does not even show any header or footer, any menu. all i see is a blank page.  

i see the same blank screen when i try to access orca forum in admin panel in modules.

i tried uninstall and reinstall whole d7 and migrate data again 3 times. no change. is it something to do with orca registration??? i cannot find any field to register orca for D7.  

any help would be very much appreciated.

regards.

anyone have any idea what the problem is here. ??

thankyou.

Are you saying that the Forum IS there but there are no topics or posts?

There are still issues with migration.  Use the search line above to find other post related to this with information.

 no when i click on forum in menu bar. nothing comes up.

all i see is an empty page. no header no footer, no menu, no images or anything.

you have any idea what is it ??

thankyou.

Check your .htaccess file in the root and see if you see these lines near the bottom.

RewriteRule ^forum/groups/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1?orca_integration=groups [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/events/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1?orca_integration=events [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/store/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1?orca_integration=store [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1 [QSA,L]

Also double check to see if the folder "Forum" exists in modules/boonex/

 i did try to look in the forum and search everywhere.  but nothing seems to be answering my question..

also i tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3 times, and then migrate data again 3 times. everything else is working fine, in site stat it says there are forum posts migrated from my old dolphin but it does not show anything.

thankyou

 no i dont see these lines in .htaccess.

shall i copy and paste thses lines in there ?? and please tell me where abouts in .htaccess shal i copy them.??

i have just sent you a link to my forum. so you can hav a look, might help you to help me .

thanks

anymore more suggestions ??

Yes, post that into there if they do not exist. however the best thing to do would be to re-upload the .htaccess file that came in the download package.

 hi. just uploaded the .htaccess file from D7 package. still no luck.

still see a blank page.

help please,

PLease Help!!!

hi everyone.

just did a fresh install and migrated data again from 6.1.6 to 7

everything else works fine but forum does not show anything.... has anyone else got this kind of problem.???

any solutions ??

thankyou very much for your previous suggestions.

Hi,

The problem can with the data that you have migrated. There may be error in the output generated which is not getting parsed. It can be checked with server files.

someone suggested display_error PHP setting is set to Off thats why i cant se any errror messages.

how can i turn them on so i can se the eror message.

thanks for the previous help guys.

regards

mchauhan.

does anyone know anything about it.... ??

boonex please help.

If both of you are working with fresh installs, I hate to suggest this but this may determine the problem.

Reinstall a clean D7. Clean DB too.

DO NOT migrate any data yet.

Install your modules that you want, including the Orca Forum module. Browse through your site to see if everything is there, especially the forum.

If everything is working fine BEFORE you migrate the data, then something in your migration data is causing the issue. It may be possible that a link/picture/video or something that a member has posted in your forum, may be causing corruption to the migration, causing it to be only "half" migrated. Therefore, causing the page not to load.

They are still working to "perfect" the migration tool, so I would expect it to go flawlessly at the moment.

Are you talking about the .htaccess code? If I am not mistaken, I dont think you php.ini file has anything to do with it. Just re-upload your original .htaccess file that came with the dolphin download. You should be good with that. btw, it the one in the root folder.

hi zarcon,

 

thanks for replying me agian. i tried all that yester day. also tried a fresh install and open forum without mi8grating any data form old dolphin6.1.6 forum. but it did not work even with fresh install. all i see is a blank screen.

 

so AlexT suggested that it might be that display_errors are set to off in php.ini

 

what do u think of that ??

 

regards

Check you php.ini and see.. If you do not see it there, add this code:

 

display_errors = on

 i did not have any php.ini file in  my root directory so i created one today with the same code.

 

but this is the only line i have got in there at the moment. do i need to add any more lines in there  coz there is no change with this one line.

Should be fine for now.. no need to put anything else in there unless you need to. See if that works first. Also, make sure that if you do this in notepad NOT to have a .txt extension after the file name (example - php.ini.txt)

 

Oh yeah, upload it to the ROOT of your dolphin install.

I'm not sure what in the php.ini file would cause your forum issue.  The server php.ini controls most things and IF your host allows can you change default settings with your own php.ini file.

 

If your not having luck with putting in yoru own php.ini settings then that suggest your host will not allow you to overrride default. Contact them and ask them for help with this issue.

actually i spoke to my host. and they suggested to write my own php.ini

 

Letme ask this, what exactly are you having problems with on the Orca forum.  What error is showing if any and what behavior is the forum displaying?

there is no error. all i see is a blank page.

Sorry, but did you install the modules?

 ya. i ahev done everything right. because all the other modules are working. i have also tried fresh installs 4 imes now. but same issues again and again.

any ideas anyone ??

regards.

any one figred it put yet ??

hi zarcon

thanks everyone who gave me suggestion on this topic.

i have sorted it out. its actually the php.ini file.

i did not put php.ini file in the forum folder. i had it in my root directory.

thanks again.

regards.

mchauhan

Hey mchauhan, Glad to see you got it figured out. So are you saying that all you did was put the php.ini file in your forum directory (ex. modules/boonex/forum) ?

If so, did the php.ini file only contain the code I gave you?

display_errors = on

Just making notes for possible future issues.

Thanks,

Chris

 ya thats right. only one line that you suggested.

thanks for your help.

regards.

mchauhan

where can I find the php.ini file please anyne?

 Read these:

• http://www.boonex.com/forums/?action=goto&search=1#topic/video-size-setting.htm
• http://www.boonex.com/forums/?action=goto&search=1#topic/Upload-video-.htm
• http://www.boonex.com/forums/?action=goto&search=1#topic/Hey-BoonEx-Notice-Something-.htm

there are more here, use the "search" feature.

I managed to get my forum working finally. I ran uninstall sql in my database and then after that i ran the install sql in the same place . Then cleared all cache and went back to my admin dasboard , and voila, my forum ( though a brand new one) is there and working like a charm.
