My b2evolution Version: 1.10.x

Hey Everyone,

For the longest time I was using 0.9, then today I decided to upgrade. I made sure to follow all the instructions properly when upgrading from a previous version, and after all was said and done, nothing shows up on my main page. I had a custom skin that I thought I had edited properly, but there's some issue I'm not seeing here.

NOTHING displays at all.

My blog: http://www.takaji.ca/ishiitalk

I'm including the code for my page with this post: http://www.takaji.ca/ishiitalk/skins/ishiitalk_blue/_main.php

I appreciate any help I can get, thank you!

I can't tell you drom the outside what went wrong, but I can give you some leads that may or may not solve you problems right away.
First: do not be afraid. Your posts are not lost.

a) Try to run ../blogs/install/index.php again and notice it's output. Try to write down what it says about database version numbers. It either says something like "You already have the correct database version" or it tries to run the database update again and it will tell something like "Database version is xxxx, I will upgrade to version yyyy."

b) check the file ../blogs/_basic_conf.php and see if it stored the database connection settings correct. These are database name, username, password etc.

Please report back to this topic and I (we) will help you further.

Good luck

First thing to test, to help in trying to determine if it's the blog or the skin, is to configure the blog to use one of the default skins that comes with it. In other words, a skin that is sure to work with 1.10.2. If one of those skins works, then you know it's something wrong with the skin you're trying to use.

Also, the link to the skin's _main.php you posted doesn't show anything. If you want to show that code, copy/paste it into a text file (main.txt) and link to that text file so it can be viewed/reviewed by someone here.

My 2ยข: I suspect the problem lies in the Skin. Your admin.php is visible and shows the login form. Can you login and browse through your posts?

Afwas: The following comes up when I try to re-upgrade from a previous version: Checking DB schema version... 9350 : OK.

The database schema is already up to date. There is nothing to do.

As well, the info in _basic_conf.php is all correct.

jibberjab: I set the skin to miami_blue and it displays perfectly, as you can see currently at my blog. I will paste my code in a codebox:

Austriaco: I can login and browse through my posts, if you're assuming that this is being done from the b2evo admin page, not just logged in as a user on the main blog page.

Everyone, thank you very much for the quick help! Hope I can fix this.

Afwas: Thanks for the info, at least I have some direction now as to what to do next. I'm not worried about making the new skin using my old one, so thank you very much for diagnosing the problem!
I'll show it to you when I'm done :D

Thanks to everyone for their quick responses and help!

8 Aug 31, 2007 20:28

Okay, I think I've mostly fixed up the skin now. You can see it at http://www.takaji.ca/ishiitalk.

The only thing is that now I've got another problem, two actually.

The first involves the fact that I can't include any image links in my posts - I get the error "Found invalid URL: URL not allowed"
And this is how the image code is appearing in the blog:


<img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee83/Takaji87/100_7291.jpg" alt="image" title="image" />


Anyone have any ideas what's wrong?

Secondly, when I try to use the "upload" button, I get the message "You don't have access to any root directory."

Are my user permissions set wrong or something, I checked, I'm a level 10 user.

Thanks everybody for your help.

Then photobucket is in the spamlist. Go there in your backoffice and remove the 'tick' before photobucket or photobucket.com or what is in the list.

Then you probably don't have the correct permission set for the media/blog/ folder where the pictures go. I refer to [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/helper_files/chmod.html]this page[/url] and [url=http://manual.b2evolution.net/Directory_and_file_permissions]this page[/url] for more information on this topic.

Good luck

I've checked the spamlist, and photobucket or photobucket.com are not in the list at all.

As for the directory/file permissions, I double-checked everything and all my directories have the proper permissions.

Not sure what it could be...

11 Sep 01, 2007 14:52

Hi Takaj,

For the first problem: the error sais the URL is blocked by the spamlist. I gueseed and hoped photobucket was the word, but it may be any combination of letters, like bucket or photo that cause the spamlist to act.

Can you temporarily disable the spamlist and see if the URL is accepted? Then you are sure you need to look inside it.

Regarding your second problem, the media folder and it's subfolders need to be set 777. If that's the case in your setup, I have no clue what goes wrong.

Good luck

12 Sep 01, 2007 18:19

Sorry, but how do you turn off the spamlist? I couldn't find it in any of the blog settings.

13 Sep 01, 2007 18:26

I should have checked, it's less obvious then I thought.

Go to backoffice -> App settings -> Plugins and disable the Basic Antispam plugin
Don't forget to enable it after testing.

Good luck

14 Sep 03, 2007 04:21

I disabled the plugin and tried again, but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Thanks

15 Sep 03, 2007 04:38

Copying the code you gave and pasting it in the write area have a nice picture on my blog (testing purposes only) see *edit* link removed.

So I have no idea. I suspected the spamlist, but we can rule that one out. Does the error come from B2evo or can your host have blocked something?

I pulling my hair out trying to think of some new ideas.

16 Sep 03, 2007 04:45

Your blog says:

<a href="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee83/Takaji87/100_7291.jpg">
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee83/Takaji87/100_7291.jpg</a>

and that is not going to work. What did you insert into the text field? It looks like you clicked the [link] or [URL] button in stead of the [img] button.
The correct code is mentioned by you before:

<img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee83/Takaji87/100_7291.jpg" alt="image" title="image" />


You can copy/paste this into the post, or click the [img] button and enter the URL.

Good luck

17 Sep 03, 2007 18:26

Thanks for testing the image out. Glad to see that it works for you :p
The error came from b2evo. Perhaps it was a bad install or something? I'm sure that my host hasn't blocked the url.

It really makes no sense. Is there a way to reinstall most components without losing too many settings? If so, which files should I overwrite with new copies?

Thanks for your dedicated support.

PS- upon finding I couldn't place an image in the post, I decided to place the URL instead, so at least people could click to see the image. But I do hope I can post images soon.

18 Sep 04, 2007 03:29

Well I've done some thinking and some additional research.
You picture does not show in the post because it is blocked by the Antispam filter (this conclusion is almost certain). One way to find out what part of the URL is blocked is this way:
In ../blogs/conf/_advanced.php find line 33:

$debug = 0;


make that

$debug = 1;


Now debug is on. Paste the exact code you gave in an earlier forum post into a post on your blog. It will give the same error:

Found invalid URL: URL not allowed


but with debug on there will be another line before this one:

Url refused. Debug info: blacklisted word: ????


Remember the word that's represented by ????, find it in the Antispam blacklist and tick the green finch to allow it.

Don't forget to set $debug back to zero,

Good luck

19 Sep 04, 2007 05:52

Hohoho! Look at what was blacklisted!

Found invalid URL: Url refused. Debug info: blacklisted word: [http:]

I removed that entry and re-enabled antispam, and turned debug back off. Everything is back to normal!

Thank you so much for your help! :)

Well done.

It was a pleasure. B)
