kisgb non nuke Version - serious issue

New Member Joined: Mar 01, 2006 Posts: 3

I downloaded your guestbook and installed it on my webserver. I am able to access the first demo entry but nothing else. No Admin GUI, no language chnage, no theme change, ... I have read the various docs provided but I am still not able to use it.

Location is: http://www.out4fun.de/kisgb/

Here some information:
- All the files are fully transfered
- .htaccess is set: PHP_VALUE output_buffering 4096 and PHP_FLAG magic_quotes_gpc 0
- The dir access for kisgb and themes is 0777 as requested
- The user.prefs.php has 0666 access right (i tried it also with 0777)
- The kisgb.csv.php has 0666 access right (i tried it also with 0777)
- as requested I did not do any changes in the config.php

What do I do wrong ? Bang Head

Sorry had an issue with the directory, could you please try it again. The link does work now.

I will need access to your server to diagnose this. Please PM me
site url
ftp url, id/pass

And remind me in the PM what the issue concerns.

Mystery solved.

Permissions were not set correctly as per the INSTALL.
register_globals was set to off - KISGB requires them on.

Then it almost worked Rolling Eyes

Ran a phpinfo on your site and I see you're using PHP v5.1 if I remember right. I know it's 5.x at the least.

KISGB is not compatible with PHP 5.x. If you can use a 4.4.x version of PHP and set those other two things I mentioned it will work. That's one of the problems with using PHP 5.x. It is not backwardly compatible in several areas.

well I do not think that the provider will downgrade so I think I am not able to use the gb Sad

but thanks a lot for the support, awesome.

Sorry. You will find that there aren't many native applications out of the box that will run on php 5.x. It's just too new.

This is funny.
I have three site where kisgb is running in phpnuke with no problems on php 5.x Now I want to use the stand alone version end have exactly the same problems as described above and I seem not to get it working..

Try this.

In the file addtogb.php

FIND
$HTTP_POST_VARS[private] = $HTTP_POST_VARS[private_msg];
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS[private]!="on") unset($HTTP_POST_VARS[private]);

CHANGE TO
$HTTP_POST_VARS[private2] = $HTTP_POST_VARS[private_msg];
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS[private2]!="on") unset($HTTP_POST_VARS[private2]);

Hi,

Thanks but this problem I all ready found en solved it the same way you suggested here. This problem you will also have with the PHPNUKE version.

However it does not solve my problem with the admin menu. I still have there

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /opt/lampp/htdocs/press_sanicole/kisgb/functions.php:93) in /opt/lampp/htdocs/press_sanicole/kisgb/authenticate.php on line 15

It might I'm not understanding the initial problem described here. However why do I not have this problem with the phpnuke version?

my settings;

The latest released verison of KISGB is Version v5.1.1

This is KISGB version v5.1.1
Global Output Buffering setting is
Local Output Buffering setting is On
Permission setting for the KISGB folder must be at least 755. Yours is 777.
Permission setting for the KISGB kisgb.csv.php file must be at least 666. Yours is 666.
Permission setting for the KISGB user.prefs.php file must be at least 644. Yours is 666.
Your default language is dutch.lang.php
Your default theme is clouds.thm.php
Your server is running PHP version 5.0.5

where do I go wrong?

This is odd. You should not be getting that error with output buffering on. Is register_globals on?

Hi,

I have been fiddling around a bit and got it working. It looks like everything works now.

It might I disabled something which I should not but it works for me.

I changed in functions.php

//echo $style;

function gethost($ip) {

Now I can access the admin function and do everything I need.

You will have lost the stylesheet though. KISGB was not designed for PHP5 and I have that on my list of todo's.

Posted: Sun Apr 30, 2006 8:10 am

In normal operation I do not see any change.. It might in de admin function.

Anyway for the time it is working for me.. and that counts. Smile

Will wait for the update on PHP5.

Thanks
