Cant post new message or news post

New Member Joined: Apr 27, 2008 Posts: 10

I am using the most current version of nuke raven.

When I try to post a new message to the main page or a news post it just gives me a blank page and does not post it. I may have a bad file or something. What files can I replace to fix this problem. My site is crippled right now.

Thanks,

Is this a fresh install or an upgrade?

Since Raven is on this one, why don't we just continue here.

I also noticed today that there is a center block on my main page that says:

There is a big problem here: we do not have a Homepage!!!

[ Add a Module in your Home ]

I am not sure if that helps, but I thought I would give you all the information I got Very Happy

mia_undertaker, yeah, you've got migration issues. This is why we recommend heavily within the HowToInstall manual page on "Upgrading" to try and do this in a local test installation first using XAMPP. You apparently are missing some things.

How did you go about getting the database up to what the schema needs to be for RavenNuke? Pretty sure you are missing the NSN Groups fields, but not sure what else you might be missing. You may need to apply the individual SQL files that are in the distribution directory:

html\INSTALLATION\sql\includedInCore

Of course, you will have to do a mass find/replace of $prefix.` to whatever your prefix is.

Thanks for helping me with this. I ran all the includedInCore scripts when I did the upgrade. I used your directions under the upgrade section of the HowToInstall Folder. I am not sure what I am missing.

I looked at the NSN Group fields on a fresh install of nuke raven that works good and the fields are the same.

My calendar, resendemail and htmlnewsletter works great. I just cant post anything to my main page. I can not even edit current messages on the page.

Where else can I look for a solution to this?

Thanks for all your help,

Some more news. Today I added the messages directly through the nuke_message database and they posted fine on the main page. I still can not post them through the admin.php section of the site.

A big headache I am having is that my modules keep un activating themselves.

Please help,

UnderTaker

mia_undertaker, I would make sure that you re-upload the admin directory again. Maybe the messages.php script is corrupt? Another question for you, are you using the advanced editor?

Just trying to narrow in on where the problem is.

Oh, and the nuke_messages table has the field called 'groups' in it?

Also, please set the $loglevel variable within rnconfig.php to 1 and see if you get any errors within your rnlogs/dblog file.

Thanks that fixed being able to post messages to my main page. The groups field was missing.

I am still having problems with modules becoming inactive on their own. I activate them and make the visible then a little while later they dissapear and become inactive.

Any ideas?

Thanks for all you guys help.

What operating system are you using?
What web server are you using?

Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 6:25 pm

Apache version 2.2.8 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.5

I am hosting my account through hostmonster.com. All my other Nuke raven sites seem to work fine, but for some reason the active status of my modules keeps changing to inactive.

Let's start from square one to eliminate some common gotcha's.

Clear your cache.
Delete all cookies that point to your domain.
Check your server logs for any errors.

If it continues, which it probably will, edit rnconfig.php with these settings:

$error_reporting = E_ALL;
$loglevel = 1;

Then go through the motions until it happens again. At that point, examine rnlogs/dblog and see if an sql error is being thrown.

mia_undertaker, since you were missing the "groups" field in nuke_messages that tells me that your update for NSN Groups was not run as stated or it did not make the edits it was supposed to. Please make sure the groups field is also in nuke_modules and nuke_blocks as per the positioning stated in these ALTER statements:

Code:




ALTER TABLE `nuke_blocks` ADD `groups` TEXT NOT NULL AFTER `view`;


ALTER TABLE `nuke_message` ADD `groups` TEXT NOT NULL AFTER `view`;


ALTER TABLE `nuke_modules` ADD `groups` TEXT NOT NULL AFTER `view`;

I checked and the other tables you listed had the groups field in them.
The nuke version I was running before did have nuke sentinel installed.

Thanks Raven, I have turned on the error_reporting in hopes to find the SQL error that is causing the modules to become deactivated.
