Plugin Enabled--Can't Authenticate

ellieroepken

I tried to setup the plugin and I just get the three bar animation that means that Vanilla is working, but nothing happens after that. What can I do about this?

Tim

@ellieroepken are you using RewriteUrls ?

ellieroepken

I don't know. I don't think so. All of the Vanilla URLs show up as index.php?p=/whatever urls. I know my WordPress install uses rewrite.

Tim

@ellieroepken Alright. You're running into an issue we discovered with this release of Vanilla. There is a problem with AJAX and non-rewritten URLs, and it is interfering with your ability to configure ProxyConnect.

If your host supports rewrite urls and .htaccess, simply go to your config file (conf/config.php), find this line:
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = FALSE;

And change it to:
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;

Let me know if this works

ellieroepken

After changing that, I can't access any of the dashboard's sub pages.

Same problem here.

@ellieroepken & @dkodr: if your vanilla installation is in a subdirectory of your site's root, is RewriteBase set correctly in your .htaccess file? This was causing me problems that sounded similar to what you're encountering. For reference:

ellieroepken

@quasistoic Thanks for your help. That worked.

Now, after the loading thing goes away, nothing comes up. Does the plugin no longer require that the urls be entered manually or something?

Tim

Have you enabled ProxyConnect? If so, is it listed in the dropdown under the "Authentication" dashboard menu item?

ellieroepken

Yes, it's enabled and I'm able to choose an authentication method now. When that finishes loading, nothing happens.

ellieroepken

And I chose ProxyConnect as the auth method.

Tim

Are you using Firefox? If so, would you mind installing Firebug and taking a look at the AJAX call that goes out when you select ProxyConnect from the dropdown? I'd love to see what it is returning for you.

Mine looks like this after it loads: http://i.imgur.com/ktVsj.png

ellieroepken

Yeah, I have Firefox with Firebug installed. I'm not sure what I should be looking for...

The console says:
GET .../forum/dashboard/authentication/configure/proxy?DeliveryType=VIEW 200 OK X 275 ms

When it's loading...

When it's done and nothing comes up.

Tim

I'd like to see whats in the Console tab there, specifically the status and Response of the AJAX request you just mentioned

ellieroepken

That's the only thing that comes up. Nothing comes up in the HTML and Response tabs. The only other data that comes up is in the header tab:

And the Params tab:
DeliveryType VIEW

ellieroepken

Anything?

Tim

Give me a day. 2.0.4 and 1.7 are coming, with several changes that should get rid of annoyances like this. If that doesnt fix it i'll with you directly to debug it. Deal?

ellieroepken

I'm sorry, I didn't know about the new versions coming.

In the meantime, how can we set the four options below via code, conf, or database manually?

Authenticate Url
Registration Url
Sign-in Url
Sign-out Url

Tim

they're in the database in GDN_UserAuthenticationProvider
you'll want the row where AuthenticationSchemeAlias = 'proxy'.

fabreez

Thanks Tim, just a couple more specifics:

Does the URL database table require you to put in the Authenticate Url listed in wordpress?

AuthenticationSchemeAlias is set to 'proxy'?

The rest are pretty straight forward I assume. Although were having issues with the Log Out in Vanilla, it won't do it. You just stay logged in.

Is what's set in the SignOutUrl field.
