database.php not found

manishblogs

says database.php is missing?

I wouldn't use this plugin. It creates its own database file storing the details and doesn't use any of the built in sql class. Jquery is also used by vanilla so its probably best to use it in the plugin. The plugin also doesn't work as the javascript requests go to the wrong url.

Not entirely sure why you get the database details from the current config file and then write them to a new file, you already just got the values. If the author doesn't mind i may rewrite this at some point.

Manishblogs: Your plugin folder is not writeable by the user who runs the webserver,
Like garymardell said, it (has to) create a an own database file.
If your running a linux server, and the apache user is www-data, do the following:
cd (yorVanillaDir)
chmod -R 770 plugins/Van2Chat
chown -R www-data plugins/Van2Chat
chgrp -R www-data plugins/Van2Chat
This should fix the problem.


@garymardell:
Yes, it uses vanillas sql functions ( C('Database.Name') etc. ), but since text.php
(the file accessed by the ajax query) cant use these functions, i have to create the database.php.

Since this is my first plugin, and im not very familar with Vanillas plugin system, maybe you can help to remove the database.php?


I'll have a look at the ajax query...


Thanks for feedback, Caerostris

Sorry, i just noticed a few bugs... im on it.
Plugin currently doesnt work in subdirectories.

caerostris

Ok, bug fixed, suburls work now.

caerostris

Sorry, version was damaged again.
This version is working, really.

The only thing i have to fix is the database.php, but its working!

caerostris

Ok, i was able to remove the database.php file, so everyone who got an older version of Van2Chat working, please update! (See readme)

I'm getting the following error after I enable:

403 Permission Denied
You do not have permission for this request /plugins/Van2Chat/text.php

caerostris

Seems like ypur webserver (usually apache or IIS)
is wrong configured or (if your using linux), you didnt chown/chmod the file correct..

If you use ubuntu as server OS:
Go to the installation folder of vanilla (mine is /var/www/vanilla-forum)

cd plugins
chmod -R 770 Van2Chat
chgrp -R www-data Van2Chat
chown -R www-data Van2Chat

(www-data is the user which runs apache2, your apache2 user could be diffrent)
If this doesnt work, please send a screenshot to
