Re: Cannot add modules..

I believe I've fixed this by changing the modules group/owner to apache:apache .

This seems to work for now..

Re: Cannot add modules..

A bit more information...

I set SELinux to "Disable" and all runs fine (I can see the modules.. Yeah!)..

I'm sure this is not the way I want to run this. Not being very familliar with this portion of Linux, can anyone advise me on how this (SELinux) should be set up with Xoops?

Re: Cannot add modules..

Thanks for the advice, but I've already been to the sites you listed and read as much documentation I could find!

Rememeber, my XOOPS install "appears" to be correct and does run. There were no issues or "red-lights" during install. I've installed XOOPS under XP with great success, this is my first time with Linux FC5 so I suspect an issue with SElinux or a Conf file.

The Modules folder is chmod 777 and I can see the Admin module under the Modules Administration page. I tried to add XCGallery, and added the xcgal folder (without any nested subfolders) to the modules folder. XOOPS does not see the module..

Any other ideas?

Cannot add modules..

Hi All..

Stupid Newbie problem here..
This is my first install of XOOPS (2.0.15) under *nix with FC5.
I have XOOPS up and running with Apache 2.2 and PHP5.
I just downloaded a module and placed it in the /modules folder. When I go to my Modules Administration page, I only see the System module.

I'm sure this is something really basic, can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Re: Database Connection problem...

Ok all, I FIXED IT!

After a LONG battle with this issue, I finally found the issue, and it has to do with the OLD_PASSWORD directive...

I did this from the DOS command line...


........................................................

type MySQL -u root -p
-password: your-password(press enter)

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('your_pass')
-> WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql>\q


........................................................

Worked like a champ!!!

Re: Database Connection problem...

Peterr,

Yes, I am NAT'ed thru several hardware firewalls (this is a no-brainer for me, I am a network/systems engineer by trade).. my site, when running, is fairly invisible to the outside world, and I do not use port 80 at all (I actually bury my site in the ephemeral address range).

I do not run the MS firewall for various security reasons, I have a Cisco PIX box for this.

Again, my question relates to the use of XAMPP as the production environment/setup, when they explicitly DO NOT recommend its use for a production environment.

What specific measures, if any, have you or mOnty used to harden XAMPP for real, outside world traffic?

Re: Database Connection problem...

Thanks for all the good advice, Peterr & M0nty..

I did send a few emails, and they were quick to reply with other great advice as well. Unfortunately, the consensus is that XAMPP should not be used for a production site..

Let me explain what my use is..
I was hoping to provide a family "community" page for friends & family and host the box at home. Nothing too fancy.. I've got a great XP machine to dump this on, and for the 20-30 users, it would work great. While this certainly will not be a "comercial" site, I do need to maintain a modicum of security..

I'm going to start fresh with PHP 4.4.1, not the 4.4.2 that I had been using. Funy thing is, I had this all working with PHP 5.1 and the newer MySQL. Unfortunately, some modules did not seem to play well with PHP 5.X...

Back to the drawing board, one more time...

Re: Database Connection problem...

Thanks for the suggestion, m0nty!

I've been looking at XAMPP, however, it looks like a beast to "lock-down" for production use.

Any suggestions on which PHP/MySQL vers I should be running? I'm having no luck with this combo. I'm about to try a dry install on another machine..

Or...

XSAS??

Re: Database Connection problem...

Peterr,

I'm still not able to connect.
I completely uninstalled MySQL, re-installed 4.1.18.. No go.
I checked my windows paths (i.e., system32) fora any "rogue" instances of PHP.ini, or mysql.dll, Etc.., nothing. I can use the MySQL command line client, I do have a database, Etc. I'm leaning towards a PHP issue with this one, but I'm a Newbie at PHP.


I had been previously running 5.x, without any of these issues, but was told that 4.1 was a better choice for a production site.
After a bit of google-work on this issue, I discovered a pile of links to issues between PHP-4.4.2 and MySQL 4.1.

Can anyone offer any other advice on this?
I'm ready to scrap the XOOPS efforts shortly..

Re: Database Connection problem...

Yup..
dbmanager is ok.. I've even tried unzipping a new install as well.
Keep in mind that I am able to connect to the DB using the MySQL administrator with localhost or 127.0.0.1, and the XOOPS schema is present.

I did read that PHP 4.1 supports MySQL natively. Is there nothing else in my PHP setup that might be causing this issue?

Thanks again,

Steve
