Feb 16, 2009 02:24 craigeves 13 posts	Sorry to ask again – but is there anything I need to do to get the File Manager working? I have enabled it in the admin screen – but when the tab appears and i click it no content is shown. Please can someone help. Thanks in advance Craig

Feb 16, 2009 04:15 craigeves 13 posts	Hi I didn’t have to enable it. It was already enabled, however when I click the ‘files’ tab it presents a blank screen… see the screenshot below. I didn’t rename the public directory either and set up was not altered. any more ideas? Thanks Craig

Feb 16, 2009 05:39 Martijn (mvdkleijn) 651 posts	have you tried setting DEBUG to true in config.php? What is your setup? Frog version DB type and version OS type Apache version PHP version

Feb 16, 2009 06:14 craigeves 13 posts	I tried Debug… it came up with the following results: Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/eves1001/public_html/frogtest/frog/app/backend/models/Plugin.php on line 150 Warning: simplexml_load_file(http://www.madebyfrog.com/plugin-versions.xml) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/eves1001/public_html/frogtest/frog/app/backend/models/Plugin.php on line 150 Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity “http://www.madebyfrog.com/plugin-versions.xml” in /home/eves1001/public_html/frogtest/frog/app/backend/models/Plugin.php on line 150 unknown

Feb 16, 2009 06:17 craigeves 13 posts	Also – my setup is as follows: Frog version – 0.9.4 DB type and version – MySQL OS type – Linux Apache version 2.2.11 PHP version – 5.2.5 Hope this helps!

Your server administrator has dis-allowed this method of working. In Frog 0.9.5 you can turn update checks off by setting CHECK_UPDATES to false in config.php In Frog 0.9.4 either you allow URL file-access or you will need to manually edit two files: In ../frog/app/backend/controllers/LoginController.php Change the line: `$this->_checkVersion();` Into: `//$this->_checkVersion();` i.e. comment it out. In ../frog/app/backend/views/setting/index.php Change: `<?php echo Plugin::checkLatest($plugin); ?>` Into: `<?php //echo Plugin::checkLatest($plugin); ?>`

Feb 16, 2009 13:05 craigeves 13 posts	I still dont get anything appearing. Its still white like the graphic. I have turned debug back on and i dont even get the debug stuff now – as if nothing is wrong, but i still cant get the files tab to display content. Help!! Many thanks Craig

Feb 17, 2009 02:34 craigeves 13 posts	Can anyone else offer any advice as to why I can’t get this to work. Shouldn’t it just be plug and play? Is there a 3rd party plugin i can try? I would try the BD UploadR only the website is no longer working. Many thanks

Feb 17, 2009 05:11 Martijn (mvdkleijn) 651 posts	Craig, it should most definitely be plug-and-play. Have you checked the filesystem level permissions? Is the user that runs apache allowed to read and write in the public directory and those beneath?

Feb 17, 2009 05:13 craigeves 13 posts	how would i go about checking those?

Feb 17, 2009 19:02 philippe 541 posts	this is weird mvdkleijn that there is a checkforlatest plugin when you use it !! maybe we can perform that check onlin after a login or in the plugins page. What you think ?

Feb 18, 2009 02:08 craigeves 13 posts	Looks like i’m not going to be able to get the file manager to work then… Does anyone have a copy of the BD UploadR plugin that is no longer available online for me to download and give that a try instead? Thanks

Feb 18, 2009 15:03 philippe 541 posts	I think the problem is not the plugin but the plugin api !

Feb 18, 2009 15:14 craigeves 13 posts	is this something that can be resolved? no one else seems to have the same problem… thanks Craig

Feb 19, 2009 04:10 Martijn (mvdkleijn) 651 posts	@philippe – the checkforlatest() is not called when you use the plugin. It is only called from the Administration section’s plugin list. This checkforlatest() functionality has been in Frog for quite some time and no issues were reported for it. I do not think the checkforlatest() functionality is the problem here. When Craig commented out the lines I mentioned, he lost all error when in debug mode, so that wasn’t the real problem. @craig – please take a look at the filesystem level permissions. You say you’re running linux so, please go to the location where you installed Frog and on the command line type (this command assumes you’re inside Frog’s root): ls -al public You should see something like (apache is the user/group under which http is running) `drwxr-xr-x 8 apache apache 4096 Feb 3 15:50 public` or something like `drwxrwxrwx 8 youruser youruser 4096 Feb 3 15:50 public` You can also try to re-download and re-install Frog. Some users have reported problems that turned out to have been faulty downloads.

Feb 19, 2009 18:05 philippe 541 posts	good to read :) seriously I haven check it yet ;)
