Troubleshoot & F.A.Q.:
--------------------------------------
# What does chmodd mean?
[-] Chmodding a file or a folder means setting permissions to read , write and excute that file/folder.
Chmodd code is simply a binary representation of Read , Write and Excute.
755 chmodd means:
111(7) – Owner can read write execute 101(5) - other in the group can execute or read, not write 101(5) - rest of the world can read and execute, no write.

# How to chmodd a file or a folder on my server?
[-] Some servers offer a user interface that enables you to do certain FTP tasks without having to actually open the FTP folder of your website.
If your server does have a user interface, then you can easily select a file, search for the chmodding button and set the access permission to 777 or 755.
If your hosting provider doesn't offer an interface , Open your FTP folder (you should find the FTP address in your account information) , Select the file or the folder to chmodd, right click and select "Properties".
You will find a small table defining access (Read/Write/Execute) permissions for Owner , Group and All Users.
Make sure that the Owner has full permission to access the file (check all 3 boxes), and the rest have , Read/Execute permissions.
For 777 chmodding, check all boxes.

# The Guestbook works when tested locally (localhost) , but it doesn’t work on my server, why?
[-] If the Guestbook shows a "Loading Comments" message for a long time and doesn't load the comments, then you probably don't have PHP5 or higher installed on your server, or DOM functions aren't enabled.
[-] If the Guestbook loads comments but it says "Error submitting comment" when attempting to submit a comment then:

* The XML file of the comments is probably not chmodded correctly, it should be chmodded 777 or 755.
* The path to the Comments.xml file relative to the PHP file is not defined properly in the FLA file.


# Can I use this Guestbook with your template (ikoOte v1.0) ?
[-] Yes you can, just add its SWF file to the modules list.

# I tried to use this Guestbook with your template ikoOte v1.0, but it doesn’t work, but it works when I open the Guestbook SWF file directly…
[-] You must define paths to XML and PHP files (in the parameters, in the FLA of the Guestbook) relative to the main.swf file , not to the guestbook.swf file.

No you shouldn’t change the AS code , but you may want to make SURE your server has PHP5 or higher, if it does , make sure Comments.xml is chmodded to 777 (Please Read Above)

Help! Need to get this done.


This actionscript pathway setting gets me past the “Loading” Screen.


PHP_Manager = “PHP/Manager.php”;
XML_BlackList = “XML/Blacklist.xml”;
XML_DataFile_relative_to_swf = “XML/Comments.xml”;
XML_DataFile_relative_to_php = “XML/Comments.xml”;


But can anyone tell me why I can’t Post comments?
Should I change the above code somehow?

how exactly do you chmod the comments file. i put chmod(“Comments.xml”, 777) on the first line of the comments xml file, i have the swf file saved with the right file locations in the actionscript (paremeters) to pull up all the files. my server has 5.2 on it.all the files are in the root file. the swf movie plays but when i go to post the comments it will not post. please help

Help Please
Stuck on loading screen.


- PHP 5.2 and Cmod 777 set on Comments.xml file only.


- Guestbook SWF file is in a table within a HTML page in Main directory.


- PHP and XML folders are also on the Main directory.


Site at http://theguestbookproject.net


ActionScript 2 has pathaways set as:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Files & Locations
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
PHP_Manager = “http://theguestbookproject.net/PHP/Manager.php”;
XML_BlackList = “http://theguestbookproject.net/XML/Blacklist.xml”;
XML_DataFile_relative_to_swf = “http://theguestbookproject.net/PHP/Comments.xml”;
XML_DataFile_relative_to_php = “http://theguestbookproject.net/PHP/Comments.xml”;


So what else can I do to make the guestbook work?

Hey… GREAT component…


I’ve got everything working 100% in my swf file. The problem is: whem I insert the swf to a HTML page, it won’t work!


All I get is the loading comments message. The same file works fine when I open the same SWF file.


Hope you can help me solve it… I’m sure it’s just a simple configuration I’m missing.


Thanks

For those of you who had the same problem as I, all I did was upload all the files to the root of my website using Filezilla FTP Client and then cmod the Comments.xml file to 777 and then everything worked. I did this both on a Windows Server and Linux.

Help,


I can’t post a comment. It gives (error submitting comment) and shows 01 Undefined on the comment card. Can someone tell me how to solve this. My IP shows and it allows me to type name and comment, but once I press OK…..I get what I wrote above.


Thanks any help at this point would be appreciated.


Joe


marquisjoe@hotmail.com if someone wants to email me the solution….
