Geeklog Forums

Hi, I am using the latest version of geeklog at ww.boelshit.nl but somehow I can't goto another page. If you go to the bottom of my site you can see that there is a second page. If you click on it, nothing happens.

Other problem but maybe the same cause. If I click on one of the topics I would like to see only the specific articles of that topic in the center. This doesn't work, it simply reloads the mainpage again.

Anyone out there who can help me with this?

Thanks

Stef

Hmm, do you have register_globals=on?

bye, Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Yes register_globals is set to on (checked the phpinfo() again to be sure).

This is a real mystery to me. Maybe this will give you some new ideas: I used to run the Boelshit site on another account that had mysql support and forwarded boelshit.nl to that account. From then on people had trouble loging in. Your login was accepted but you didn't get the adminmenu and besides the name that you logged in with there would also be a guest online. The only way to get the admin menu was to goto the real webadress of the other account where boelshit.nl was pointed to and login again there. Changing the page wasn't working either back then.

To make sure that this problem wasn't caused by forwarding boelshit.nl to the other domain I upgraded the boelshit webhost account to a mysql account and copied all the files back to that account, moved the mysql tables and chmod everything that needed to. Of course I changed the config settings to the correct path also. No result at all...

I'm sure the problem is not caused by some strange setting in the php server that we use. I am using global variables in lots of other scripts that I programmed and they are working fine.

Please let me know if anything else can be tested.

Thanks,

Stef

hi looking at the adress of the links
http://www.boelshit.nl/public_html/index.php?topic=filmreviews
it looks as if your doc_root is set wrong . you should not be seeing /public_html / in the address

check line 68 in the config.php file
$_CONF['path'] ='/your/path/public_html/
and remove public_html

Hi Johan,

the $_CONF['path'] was set ok, there was no public_html in there. I changed another variable though:

$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://www.boelshit.nl';

this one had public_html at the end. Sadly enough these modifications had no effect. I now have www.boelshit.nl/public_html/ in the addressbar of my browser which is also not what I want.

Any other ideas?

BTW: the index.php in the root of boelshit.nl is just a header command that forwards the visitor to the public_html directory where the index.php of geeklog is located. Because I changed the site_url the links in the menu now point to my forwarding index.php so that won't work for sure.

I'm getting a beer, maybe that will help.

Cheers,

Stef

Can you not move Geeklog (i.e. the contents of the public_html) into your root directory? That would make more sense anyway ...

bye, Dirk

I could do that but I doubt that Geeklog will still work after that. I have filled in the variables exactly as the instructions say I should and if I now move the contents of the public_html folder one level up then I am sure that it won't find several other folders anymore.

folders like system and sql are now present in the root. Will they be found when I move contents of the public_html to the root?

Stef

Nope, I just moved the contents of the public_html to the root without any result. I still can't go to a topic page of next page if there are more articles.

Anyone?

Stef

SOLVED IT!

The solution was simple (as always). Due to copying and moving etc, the index.php in the public_html was overwritten with a faulty one. I replaced it with the correct one and everything is working fine now. TIME FOR A BEER :-).

Thanks everyone for your sugestions.
