its fixed, i just uploaded the main files and folders and wrote over evrything except main file and modules. something was missing somewhere from the upgrade that was done. only thing i noticed when i was moving all the files and such was smarty folder was missing all together. but it took care of all the problems

Im getting the same thing, but my upgrade went ok, im having the exact same problems tho. all the files are there looks like it ok to me , but it wont work. ive looked all over here for the answer but hadnt found anything my error is this



the line



if anybody does have an idea it would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance

ok, first off i am sorry , i didnt understadn that i need the www.vac...... of of the mainfile.php

i thought you asked what it was but never said to take it off or change it. but ANYWAY as soon as i made sure the cahe folder was writable and it was as 777. i knew it was !! i changed the url tohttp://vacaresource.com and saved my mainfile.php set the permissions back and guess what the whole site works again. got into admin and all, unless you changed something i dont know about that was all it... thanks again for you patience and helping figure this out. i noticed even the mods for this board wouldnt even chime in to help when they were online.

thanks again

dont know if this means anything but i went to include/checklogin.php file and its 777

if i understood you correctly all other files and folders should be set

are you sure about all files owning and permissions?
all files 644 and all folders 755

ok, i went back and checked


cache ,uploads,templates_c = 777
mainfile.php = 444

now all of the other folders in the root are 777
all of them are.

i havent changed anything other than hit that use ssl of login in admin ???? but the others you asked about are set right but all other folders in the public_hml directory are 777 i didnt go deeper

ok, but i still cant login under admin and get into the admin area. i still have the problem of loging in. although i have been in the amin area many mnay times its asking me if this is my first time, wether i say submit or decline it keeps taking back to the same page. , i also cannot login the first time in the user block i have to login in the forgot my passowrd page login. new members are not being able to register. but when i did the upgrade as you suggested i lost the authfactory.php somehow and that what was causing my blank pages, fortunetly i figured that one out.. this one i cannot.

and you to, have a merry christmas as well as everybody here !!

update on errors only have these if you login, sorry

www.vacaresources.com

ok, if im looking at this right, learning this as fast as i can. its asking on that line for a authfactory.php in the class/auth/ folder but it isnt there ??? i looked into the core files of XOOPS isnt there either, thought maybe i could just add it.
