Problem Posting on the KISGB Guest Book Module

Evenin'

When people post on my Guest Book, they get a popup to download modules.php. You can try it yourself and see here:

http://www.9thsword.org/modules.php?name=kisgb-nuke

Any help would be mucho appreciated.

Well that is truly bizarre! It posts and then downloads a file called modules[xx].php. Please zip your entire kisgb folder and email it to raven at ravenphpscripts dot com

In the almost 3 years that kisgb has been out I have never seen this. Normally when a browser tries to download it's because your server doesn't know how to handle a certain file type. In other words, if you hadn't told your server to associate .php files with php.so then it wouldn't know to call that so, etc. Have you changed any of the file names that come with kisgb to point to a file name with a different extension? The file that it is downloading doesn't look like a kisgb file because it is either gzipped or encrypted.

Can you run phpinfo() and see if output_buffering is On?

Sorry. Save this code to test.php and then ftp it to your server. Then post back the link where I can look at it.

Code:

<?


phpinfo();


?>

If you have access to your php.ini, modify the setting
output_buffering = On
Then restart your server.

Otherwise, create a file called .htaccess (no extension) and add this line to it:
PHP_FLAG output_buffering On

Then ftp .htaccess to your root nuke directory and see if that fixes it.

Ok noob question Smile

How would I create a .htaccess file Very Happy

hehe

Use a good text editor like textpad. You can try notepad but it will add a .txt extension. You will then have to rename it after you ftp it.

Ok am I supposed to put any special code into this .htaccess? Cause I just put in that one line of code and uploaded it, and I got an error that wouldnt even let me connect to my site Sad

Only that one line. If you're receiving an error then delete it and contact your support ant tell them to turn output_buffering on. I'm not sure that's the problem but turning it on will not hurt anything. In fact it enhances. I do think it may be the problem though.

As a quick test, edit the addtogb.php file. At the top and at the bottom are two statements that begin with ob_ . Comment those 2 statements out with // . Then try to add a record and see what happens.
