1/ it is showing /apache2-default/ etc etc
2/ the link isn't complete because the domain isn't actually listed.

How do i get around this?

Cheers,
Dean

Re: RC 2.2.3 Automated email problem

We are looking into a solution for this problem.

I have a nagging suspicion that I have made a booger in the code that detects whether the XOOPS_URL constant is relative or absolute.

If you are up for this, could you try changing:
if (!strpos(XOOPS_URL"http")) {
        
//Relative URL used, calculate absolute URL
        
$protocol strtolower(substr($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'], 0strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'], "/"0)));
        
define("XOOPS_ABS_URL"$protocol."://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].XOOPS_URL);
    }
    else {
        
define("XOOPS_ABS_URL"XOOPS_URL);
    }

to
[color=ff0000]if (!(strpos(XOOPS_URL"http") == 0)) {[/color]
        
//Relative URL used, calculate absolute URL
        
$protocol strtolower(substr($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'], 0strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'], "/"0)));
        
define("XOOPS_ABS_URL"$protocol."://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].XOOPS_URL);
    }
    else {
        
define("XOOPS_ABS_URL"XOOPS_URL);
    }

in include/common.php around the middle of the file?

Nope, sorry made the change this was the followup email.
Was I supposed to do anything once I made the change? I rebooted the server just in case.

OK, solution is not as simple as I had hoped.

Will investigate in more detail - won't be today, I'm afraid.

Re: RC 2.2.3 Automated email problem

is this problem goign to be the same for 2.2?

if so should I just install an older version, this is a new site, no content in there at the moment with all of the problems I think i should just use 2.2 or 2.013

Re: RC 2.2.3 Automated email problem

any thoughts?

Should I downgrade? I noticed someone posted instructions how to downgrade from 2.2.3 to 2.2.2 as this is a new install I used the 2.2.3 zip, would this downgrade still work for me?

TIA,
Dean

Hello,

I had another related problem. In the first situation, I had double http://www.my_domain_name.com in activation link.
I tried to change those lines and it solved this problem.
But I still get double "http://".
So the link is still unusable. :(

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks


PS: This was my first post

i found that in the XOOPS mainfile.php i made a mistake and left a trailing / (even though it specifically says not to).

cheers,
Dean
