EVE Technology Lab

This seems like a great project and all but normally there is an outline of what needs to be done to set this up with SMF, currently the git repo for this really is missing that. It has a 'readme.txt' file but that is even very not helpful.


"
This mod will add EVE Api linking and managing. They will be configurable in "Features and options". You can make people fill in there API when they sign up and they can change it under profile, they can be auto assigned a group based on there API info"

Anyone having issues with SMF and this Module? Everytime I load the forum it loads a blank screen. IE, Fire Fox, Chrome, and Safari are all showing this on 3 different PCs. Trying to trouble shoot my hosting server as well but all of my other sites that use PHP and MySQL are loading fine.

Fresh install. I host the server myself. She's a virtual server and shares space with other sites. None of which have any PHP or MySQL load issues as they're all Wordpress sites. I'll blow away this install shortly and see if it was an issue with SMF before the module was added and report back. The virtual server has 8GB of RAM with 4 processing cores. Per linux commands I'm only using 3GB of RAM right now. I've been trying to find the command to increase memory allocation to MySQL but my Google skills seem to be off these days.

Its a shared server so I have 12 sites on its all at once. What is the price to get the suite but I host it myself?

I get a blank page like you. when I view source, there is nothing there. Did SMF work prior to installing TEA? So you install TEA and load the forums and the page loaded? I assume yes since TEA is a plugin/add-on to SMF but figured I would ask. Do you have root access on your server?

Edit: after I wrote this I clicked the link a couple more times. It popped up 2x out of like 10-12 attempts. See screenshot:

Edit#2: I would google: "smf blank page sometimes" and go through what you find and see if any of those might help. Since this is an intermittent problem, must be something with your server or server & install combination. good luck. Let us know what you find.

Ok so I've shut Compressed Output off - no change, I've set the database connection to persistent - no change.

Could this be a CentOS thing? I see you run Ubuntu. I doubt it cares what Linux distro I'm using.

I'm going to build a VPS with nothing on it and install from scratch tomorrow night and see what happens then. Pretty strange that this is an issue that dates clear back to 2004 with SMF. Anyone else have any ideas to try out? Would love to have this software running for my corp and alliance.

Sorry I haven't replied. Looks like SMF went to version 2.0.11 - I've done a complete reinstall of SMF. By itself I get the blank screen errors. trying to find the PHP Error reporting on my control panel to see what information it provides. At this time I have not installed TEA.

Updating my Control Panel OS to CentOS 7.1 x64 to see if the newer versions of PHP and stuff help any. Will report back in a couple days.

One of the support techs found this:

Hi!
Everyone who appears when you run Simple Machine Forum white page, see this post!

Problem:
You tried installing Simple Machines Forum software (SMF) either from the source website or using Sentastico, but it shows as a blank page when you try to access it. No issues are seen in the ZpanelX or Sentora Error Log and all other configurations appear to be correct.

Solution :
This issue is caused by suhosin security module which blocks the PHP function shell_exec() from being used. However, SMF appears to call this function in the Sources/Subs.php file, around line 3538 (line 3737 on version 2.0.11):

// Try the Linux host command, perhaps?

if (!isset($host) && (strpos(strtolower(PHP_OS), ‘win’) === false || strpos(strtolower(PHP_OS), ‘darwin’) !== false) && mt_rand(0, 1) == 1)
{
if (!isset($modSettings[‘host_to_dis’]))
$test = @shell_exec(‘host -W 1 ‘ . @escapeshellarg($ip));
else
$test = @shell_exec(‘host ‘ . @escapeshellarg($ip));
// Did host say it didn’t find anything?
if (strpos($test, ‘not found’) !== false)
$host = ”;
// Invalid server option?
elseif ((strpos($test, ‘invalid option’) || strpos($test, ‘Invalid query name 1′)) && !isset($modSettings[‘host_to_dis’]))
updateSettings(array(‘host_to_dis’ => 1));
// Maybe it found something, after all?
elseif (preg_match(‘~\s([^\s]+?)\.\s~’, $test, $match) == 1)
$host = $match[1];
}

This code block should be commented out by adding PHP comment tags :

// Try the Linux host command, perhaps?

/* if (!isset($host) && (strpos(strtolower(PHP_OS), ‘win’) === false || strpos(strtolower(PHP_OS), ‘darwin’) !== false) && mt_rand(0, 1) == 1)
{
if (!isset($modSettings[‘host_to_dis’]))
$test = @shell_exec(‘host -W 1 ‘ . @escapeshellarg($ip));
else
$test = @shell_exec(‘host ‘ . @escapeshellarg($ip));
// Did host say it didn’t find anything?
if (strpos($test, ‘not found’) !== false)
$host = ”;
// Invalid server option?
elseif ((strpos($test, ‘invalid option’) || strpos($test, ‘Invalid query name 1′)) && !isset($modSettings[‘host_to_dis’]))
updateSettings(array(‘host_to_dis’ => 1));
// Maybe it found something, after all?
elseif (preg_match(‘~\s([^\s]+?)\.\s~’, $test, $match) == 1)
$host = $match[1];
} */

This will fix the issue and allow SMF to work properly. The function is not necessary for the normal operation of the script, as other means are available to SMF to accomplish the same thing.

and this is working for me so far!

i am a bit confused. i set up a new smf2 and an openfire 3.10.2.

the integration with ts is running fine and even with openfire if i use the Users Service plugin. now i noticed for some options / extensions i have to use the REST API from openfire.
if i check the tea_jabber_of.php i see urls to the Rest API and i see the get_rest function on the teac.php.

but if i deactivate the Users Service Plugin in openfire and activate the REST API, no users will be added anymore.

can somone give me some hints here?

the problem behind is that openfire can't assing groups as members to group chats. so i wanted to add the users to the rooms directly after it get created via User Service / Rest API.


update: the file in the package was oder than on my deskop download
