Graphics had come back, because before your post I was messing with my DNS records and everything was sent to my IP address; the site past the front page was still hosed - couldn't login.

I just now got this working and understand more about DNS and forwarding and masking.

Problem was that I had set up a forwarding record at my hosting site (which has my domain and www site) instead of an A record. It had nothing to do with my XOOPS install.

I was thrown off because when trying out Mambo I had the same graphics problem, but fixed it by chmod 777 certain directories.

plz help me

Also, besides not knowing how to 'update' the system I can't seem to find where I can move a thread to another forum. I'm using Forum module v1.0 that came with xoops.

Thanks!

I am aware that 2.0.9 beta has some issues with file and folder permissions. I'll let someone else package 2.0.9 beta2 or RC to avoid this next time

So far, we have only had error reports from PHP5 platforms and 2.0.9 that were caused by these permission issues.

Thank you for your great going-through of setting up a webserver properly. I am sure that it will be valuable for others, too, and will bookmark this thread so that I can remember to add it, where it is easier for new visitors to find.

I still stand by that, but I also acknowledge that the best modules are not created by the core developers, but by module developers on dev.xoops.org and elsewhere.

Therefore I will by the time we release the core without modules have easy-to-download packages of selected modules, together solving particular tasks. This could be a Community Pack with modules such as Newbb2, News 1.2.1, SmartFAQ and WF-Downloads. When someone downloads the "Mall" they also expect shiny "Stores" - not old modules that have served their time and should be replaced before evening "opening the Mall".
I believe that this is best accomplished by separating the core from the modules and - as XOOPS Module Development Team Leader - I see it as my responsibility to communicate my recommendations on quality modules to the XOOPS users.

- oh, one last thing. If you have to enable register_globals to get things working, something is not working as it should. RG should be off and XOOPS should be working with it off (I cannot guarantee this for all modules, naturally, but properly coded modules should not rely on register globals - if the core does not work properly without register globals set to on, it is a bug and I kindly ask you to submit it as a bug report on XOOPS' Sourceforge.net project pages with as many details as you can possibly give)

Hm, considering the new 2.1 core and no modules anymore, only to download them as packages...

Not quite a good idea i think, and i do belief the XOOPS dev team is not going to do that, as stated by themselfs, and i quote:

"XOOPS is the mall; it’s the general hull that provides services to its tenants. Have you seen a mall with no stores? There’s no reason to go there at all; the same is true about XOOPS. If you see just the hull, there are not many reasons to visit the site. "

Apache or IIS? Not worth a discussion here, it's rather a personal choice really. Both are good webservers, and both have drawbacks and benefits.

Hi, everyone.
I looked at all the content modules and noticed a couple of html wrap modules (c-html, c-jay). These seem to be almost what I want to use, but I need it to refresh the html page within a block every ten seconds. The html page is being rewritten every ten seconds to reflect changing content.

Has any one else done this? If not does any one have any ideas on how to try to do this?

thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
My XOOPS site worked just fine in my my root folder (public_html/) where I installed it initially. But today I tried to move the site to a new folder in my root (public_html/new), and although I adjusted the virtual and physical path in mainfile.php and checked the settings of the upload, cache and template_c folders, the site will not work! I didn't touch the MySQL database and copied al the XOOPS files and folders in my new folder. Still, the page cannot be found when I type in the new folder (what doesn't make sense cause in the new folder there's the XOOPS index.php file!!).

Can somebody help??

Thanks, Z.

You must keep credits in the source code - but you are allowed to remove visible-to-users elements.

Add a second parameter, true, to those fields

Is it ok to remove all copyrights from the modules i use when i put them in the imprint ?
for exemple: agenda-x, xcgal, theme
