When I click on Forums, it says "Profile Not Available For View" instead of loading the forum. I cannot access Forums. Any ideas or suggestions for why this is happening and how I can fix? Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

When I click on Forums, it says "Profile Not Available For View" instead of loading the forum. I cannot access Forums. Any ideas or suggestions for why this is happening and how I can fix? Any help would be sincerely appreciated. What's your site web address? |
Hi, Thank you so much. The site is www . gomom . me and the link to the forum is click here |
Did the forums ever work, Or you just added the module?
|
Can you access the forum using the uni template? If you can, then you need to add your custom skin to modules/boonex/forum/layout. If you can't access the forum using the uni (default) skin, then you have file and folder permissions set up wrong. I can;t check it because you removed the template switch from the menu http://towtalk.net ... Hosted by Zarconia.net! |

I can;t check it because you removed the template switch from the menu You can still switch skins regardless of the menu item being there by adding "?skin=uni" to the end of the address. In this case it doesn't work regardless of template, meaning (as you said) it's most likely file/directory permissions being incorrect.

(ok, adding that to my tips and tricks to make me look smart file... ) LOL. http://towtalk.net ... Hosted by Zarconia.net! |
I am facing the same problem. However I've checked the template files and they are correct. But I'm still getting the "Sorry, site is unavailable now, please try again later." error message. I uninstalled the forum and deleted it from the server via FTP. Then I reinstalled the mod from 7.0.5 source files. Everything works in uni. Please help Gloria Grayson |
***UPDATE**** Well it took an MIT grad to figure it out but we now have a better understanding about ORCA and why its such a WEAK forum. Since I was not able to find a REAL answer here in this DIS-unity forum, I thought I'd post our discoveries here in hopes to alleviate the pain and suffering others like myself are experiencing. 1. If you're getting the dreaded "Profile not available" error message; The issue is MOST certainly related to folder permissions. Boonex instructions suggest 777 for folders & 666 for files. But if you are running on a cPanel server or any server that has suPHP, suEXEC, PHPsuEXEC, etc. installed then change folder settings to 755 and files to 644. The Profiles error message is Dolphin's own elegant & personal equivalent to a 500,403,401 error message. 2. The Evil red "not available" message generally indicates that you have added some custom code that the ORCA does not like. In our case it was a flash player in the footer & a flash banner ad header. 3. Last but not least ... our nightmare ended when we revised the language files. ORCA does not like punctuation marks [ ' " ! . ( * % $ # @ ] in certain areas. If you take the time to compile everything from the admin panel then you will never have a problem. It just takes a little longer. However if you get smart and try to "copy & paste" or "search & replace" in a text editor like I did then ORCA will kick your ASSETS all the way to the insane asylum. Hope this helps someone Gloria Grayson P.S. I would like to acknowledge deano92964 and major@cogzidel.com for sharing their coding and design experience with us -- FREE OF CHARGE!!! Gloria Grayson |
Hi All, Thanks so much for taking the time to respond with suggestions. I tried the following things and get the same error... Tear... any thoughts?
I thought of reinstalling forum, but then I have to reinstall events and groups and since I have content there... I don't want to mess anything up. Double tear... |
I access the forum using the uni template and get the same error
I thought of reinstalling forum, but then I have to reinstall events and groups and since I have content there... I don't want to mess anything up. Double tear... This is what Super Geek suggests: 1. Confirm that the forum works with the uni template. 2. Confirm Boonex base permission settings as follows: [http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DetailedInstall] chmod 777 ./inc ./backup ./cache ./cache_public ./langs ./media/app ./media/images ./media/images/banners ./media/images/blog ./media/images/classifieds ./media/images/membership ./media/images/profile ./media/images/profile_bg ./media/images/promo ./media/images/promo/original ./tmp ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/HTML ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/CSS ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/Test ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/URI under /modules/boonex /forum One more thing, have you upgraded to 7.0.5 yet? If not it was suggested that you DO NOT upgrade until the Forum works. Gloria Grayson |
Thanks! I've updated all permissions as noted, but I the error as before. Also, I cleared cache and recompiled languages for forum. I upgraded from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1, then 7.0.2... after that, Is it possible that I did it wrong to cause this problem? |
All, I found the issue. Apparently Forum 7.0.2 does not like script ads. I removed the script and the forum works now. Thanks for your help. Trish |
