Re: PHP5 causing problems?

I don't think it's php5 - I have had similar problems on a couple of sites I support. I have boiled it down to IE 7.0 and some problem with the way th browser renders. Firefox, Konqueror, and the rest work fine in the same instances. IE 7 fails regularly - I see the same looping you do. Not much help to you, as I have taken the long road to look at code myself - #OOPS# Micro$oft!

Re: Goodbye XOOPS (with Sadness)

That shouldn't be an excuse though - seems that if it is a known issue, it is also known how to fix. Or at least not ban due to a false positive. I personally don't use protector for various reasons - but I have looked at it and it sure looks a lot like the original protection mod used for PHPNuke - which is not a bad thing, but the things it triggers off of are guesses at best. Sometimes though, that's what we are faced with.

Anyway, it's customer experience that brings them back!

Re: Help me : Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference

Quote:
Notice [PHP]: Only variables should be assigned by reference in file include/common.php line 215


These are slowly getting cleaned up, but I see them and usually fix them throughout XOOPS core code - and some modules

The problem, is more pronounced as you move to PHP5.x versions.

The problem, if you want to learn programming, is that each of the notices is referring to the way the function is returning the assigned value. In this case, there is no assigned value, only a result.

For instance if I have a return like this
return new SomeFunction();


I will see the message similar to yours.

If I change it to
$someReturn = new SomeFunction();
return $someReturn;


The message goes away.

The first example is coder laziness. Not saying anything about the coder, I've done it myself! However, at the assembled code level, you are telling and assuming that the resultant code will create a slot that is going to be globally accessible to the code receiving the returned value. In other words, if a reserved place is not created (the variable $someReturn), I am not assured that the returned value won't get stomped on in memory. With Web applications, this is not too big a deal. In large scale system applications, this form of coding could bite you pretty hard.

Re: Can't get to my site.

yes, that is the ticket. I just tested your site. It makes me wonder if your move has really happened? You might check with your host provider to make sure they have transferred everything - as I read what you have provided, it looks like your site is still resolving to the old IP, and the new IP will present the site, so right now, I have no idea what the DNS servers think is right! Yikes, make the change and update. The only problem is you may have 72 hours before proper propagation. However, I'm seeing both IP now...

And...I hit your site with no problem. It defaults to the SmartPartner module. Is that correct?

So, if you are still not getting there, it's your ISP. They are not updating their DNS (BIND isn't running enough) servers on a regular basis. I am surprised you can't hit the site with IP address only...I just checked.

Okay, if you are a dedicated IP, your server console doesn't DNS you that way. Your dedicated IP goes to your control panels default - "This site isn't set up yet" So, my guess is, you may be a dedicated IP, but you are on a virtual environment of some sort, and addressing by IP is captured by the server software and redirected to the console default pages...You might verify, when you can actually get in, the DNS records to make sure they are all correct.

Good luck!

Re: Hacked

How would that help?

The real question is, how is the index.html file getting placed in root? And I am assuming the root of the site, not the root of the server. That's a security issue, not a XOOPS issue. I would recommend a few debugging things...

1. If you can't plug the "copy to root" hole, then I would turn off any uploads until you can get the site in a chrooted environment. Also, make sure ssh or telnet is turned off.

2. look at your log files - access.log and errors.log to determine what they are doing when the index.html is copied up. What URL, etc. is getting used.

3. If you are an apache site, and have control of the server, then install mod_security to apache. If you are in a shared environment, talk to your provider about what security switches can be turned on at the apache level.

4. Take an inventory of the mods you are using, make sure they are the recent versions, and not something old that may have a known vulnerability.

Bottom line, even if you copy a stub index.html file up there, my question would be, what prevents the upload and replacement of that file? Not knowing the settings of this particular server makes it difficult to answer, and really only with the generic obvious stuff...

Re: is possible to set different Contact form send to different email?

This is the Contact module you need. I have not had one person not be able to extend it the way they want. You can have all of the individual departments (contacts) you want. Give it a try - courtesy XOOPS @ IBDeeming!

Re: Sub domains as fully hosted domains in Plesk?

I have PLESK on all of my servers - not Vituoso, but the principle is the same. The primary reason this works is because you are creating within your "shared" IP. If you were trying this with dedicated IP, although PLESK would attempt to track, your DNS would potentially have problems. Now, under PLESK, your stats should include sub-domains. But, that is provided you are at least at 8.0.1 - 8.1.0 has man of it's own DNS issues, and I would be careful in creating any sub-domain outside of the domain control. Good ideas going outside o the published norm.

BTW - you can multi host under you static IP's as well as your "SHARED" IP. It's not a published feature, but it works because of the way they create the DNS records for the BIND.

Re: "Contact module" with IP track, is there any?

I'll add IP tracking in - just be aware that IP's can be spoofed in the header, so the information is only as good as the delivery of the information!
