Modules not working

I have installed XOOPS on my home PC and it works great and I love it. On my notebook, which has later versions of Fedora Core (4), MySQL (4.1.14), and PHP (5.0.4), XOOPS installed fine, but the modules that I add do not work. For example, I added the News module, but I cannot create topics or articles. Clicking on 'Topic Manager' brings me to the News menu. Does XOOPS not work with the versions I mentioned above, or have I missed something? Any help is appreciated.

Whoa dont be too specific now.

What version of XOOPS are you running. What modules and versions are having problems? Also you are running this locally?

Re: Modules not working

I am using version 2.0.13.2. In the News module, I can't get access to the forms to add topics and articles. In the Headline module, the items I submit aren't saved. Same with FAQ. It looks like any module I try will have problems.

Yes -- I am using XOOPS locally.

I played around with chmod with no luck. I also tried unzipping on a Windows PC and copying to Linux PC, per another post I saw here -- still not working.

Are you using the verson of news that came with XOOPS or did you upgrade? Here is what I am wondering.

Go to Admin > News > Permissions > Set all these

Then Admin > News > Add/edit topics/categories > Set your cats

Then Admin > news > > Add/edit news > post your news.

Personally I have never created a local installation of xoops, although I would like to. Perhaps your problems are unique because of this.

I am using version the 1.1 of the News module that came with xoops. I 'upgraded', in the XOOPS modules administration area, but the news module is still identified as version 1.1.

I don't have a 'Permissions' option on my News menu.

I don't think so -- XOOPS and all its modules are working just fine on a local installation on my other computer. The other computer is running older versions of mySQL and PHP, though (see my original post).

I am running the same version of Fedora Core, php and MySQL as you and I am also having the same problem, I can go into the preferences part of the news module but not the topic manager or post news.

Re: Modules not working

Interesting, I run several fedora based servers and multiple XOOPS installs but no problems like this. Do you have selinux enabled? Try disabling it. Also, as what user you have apache running and by what user you have your XOOPS files? Go to /var/www/installfiles and issue command 'chown -R apache *'.

Re: Modules not working

I don't have selinux enabled. I tried 'chown -R apache *' per your suggestion, but it still does not work. Do any of your installations use PHP 5.04?

Re: Modules not working

On some I do use php5 and have no problems (at least not to your extent).Try to check and change permissions to something like this on your servers /var/www/installfiles (make sure there are 2 spaces after before '\').

find -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \; <-all directories
find -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \; <-all files

Then just do chmod 444 mainfile.php <-script requires it to be 444.

Check your /var/log/httpd/access_log and error_log for any errors.

If it wont fix then I'm running out of ideas. Since it's a laptop I assume you have no ssh access to it, otherwise I could troubleshoot. If you are familiar with ssh then PM me and I can help you out. I just need your IP and ssh running and port 22 open
