Hi,

I have installed the mod but I am getting this error:

Permissions have been set to 755

error meassage in module on the forum is "Can't find or run ventrilo_status
Please check your permissions on ventrilo_status
"

Any ideas?

Wonderfully made and designed. Works like a charm!

man vb.org's subscription to thread's doesn't always work, does it?

I didn't know you guys needed help.

@cfodder and DangerousDale:

You both have the same problem. It's a path issue, because your vba homepage is outside your forums. We gotta fix that, but we don't need to display your server path's here publicly. PM me your site, please.

Let's see if we can get it taken care of.

If you guys think you might have a path issue.

Do this.

Add includes/ventrilo/ventrilo.php to the end of your URL. If you see some output then your path is okay. If you have to change anything... then you have an issue.

I wonder if there is a way for me to make the path dynamic. I'm gonna check on a few things and see what I can come up with.

Ummmm, n00b here, how do I do that?

So if your website is:

http://mmo-mods.com

Add /includes/ventrilo/ventrilo.php to it to make:

http://mmo-mods.com/includes/ventrilo/ventrilo.php

If it says 404 error, then you know it's a path issue.

Add that to your dev site cfodder and you'll see what I see. Lots of files missing.

OK, I put that address in, and yup sure did come up with a lot of errors - no 404 one though luckily.

Question is tho how can I fix it? Can I fix it?

I PM'd you.

If you have this issue.

Open the includes/ventrilo/ventrilo.php file and do this:

find:

Replace with:

Thanks for this Mod, got it up and running just fine on my vbAdvanced site :D.

Just a couple of suggestions for the future..

- Option to turn off displaying of channels that are empty
- Option to turn off comments of channels from displaying

If you could put those two things in, that'd be awesome :D

Thanks

I'm getting the same error as others above - "Can't find or run ventrilo_status
Please check your permissions on ventrilo_status".

I've set the permissions to 755 and am pretty sure that the pathing is correct. Any thoughts?

PM me your site please and I'll be happy to take a look.

It's probably a path issue.

Hi.

I installed the product just fine. But when I go to step 5 in your instructions and try to upload the module I get this error.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]\admincp\vba_cmps_admin.php on line 3500

As well as the vbulletin message box that states: "The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file."

I am running this on a Windows server. I have given change/write access to the whole "/includes/ventrilo/" folder. I also have "script/executables" set in IIS on the folder.

I am trying to upload the file directly from the server.

I can look under the vb options section and can access them under "Ventrilo Block". I changed the environment from Linux to Windows.

I have checked the FAQ and am not running in safe mode, and since I cannot get the module to upload none of the other errors apply.

Any ideas? Looks like a great block and will keep looking at it on my end the rest of the night to see if I stumble upon something.

Thank you.

Would it be possible to just be able to parse a list of all the names in Vent, instead of cluttering it with dozens of channel names? The vent I use has like 30 channels, so if there was a way to just parse a list in alphabetical order of the usernames in the Vent server, that would be SOOO much more easier on the eyes.

I like the original modification, but maybe have an option to show Vent exactly like you see it (ie - include channels), and have a second option to just parse an alphabetical list of usernames (ie - show users in vent only).

Let me know if this is possible or if I need to look for a different solution. Thank you!

Install Fixed. Got help at vBadvanced.com

For others with this problem. The /forums/includes/ folder was not chmod'ed to 0777

The problem now is that it is installed and shows up on my homepage. After I put all the setting in the control panel I get.

Warning: require_once(./includes/config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xxxxxxxxx\forums\includes\ventrilo\ventrilo.php on line 19

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/config.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\xxxxxxxx\forums\includes\ventrilo\ventrilo.php on line 19

Where it is getting the path of "c:\php5\pear" I have no idea.

I triple checked that the execute permissions were in place on the includes/ventrilo folder.

If I comment out the ".includes/config.php" line like recommeded earlier, the whole vbadvanced page stops running and shows the error listed above.

Please explain or allow me to pm you about how the paths should be.

Thank you.

triaxis - I will get back with you later today.

y2crazy - I will see what I can do for later versions. I didn't want to modify the Ventrilo code too much since I don't own it, but I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Thank you very much!

You don't have to bother, I have removed this product and will not use it.

What I discovered through my own investigation/troubleshooting was that this will not run on a Window2k3 server running IIS6 without serious security exposure.

I could only get the errors of ".PHP Unable to spawn shell" to clear if I gave the web server account write access to the command prompt.

Maybe this product works fine on an Apache server, but from my experience not on an Win2k3 IIS6 machine.

Good luck.

Sorry I never got back with you. I experienced a death in the family and couldn't get back here.

I'm sorry to hear you couldn't get it working.

I think I'll remove the Windows part out of it then.

Thanks for letting all of us know.

My condolences for your loss. :(

If you want, I could PM you with what I found while testing and maybe you would have an idea of a work around.

I don't know if the "PHP Unable to spawn shell" is an unsurmountable error.

TriAxis

Thanks.

Yeah if you could PM it to me - I'll setup a Windows box ASAP and be happy to see what I could do. Considering I use the ventrilo basic scripts ... It shouldn't be too terribly difficult.

Thanks for your response.

I believe I have a 404 path error and have PM'd you with some information.

Hey Crimm, sorry to hear about your loss in the family :(.

Thank you for the condolences.

D Holzwarth - Answered your PM, let's see what we can do.

I am getting Can't find or run ventrilo_status
Please check your permissions on ventrilo_status

Can you help?

PM me your domain name and host. We'll work together.

ALL:

Lately I have been finding out that share providers like Godaddy won't allow the binary file needed to run this mod. I'm going to be updating all my mods soon and I'm trying to get a list of such hosts that refuse to let it work.

Can you help me out? It's running @ http://sadisticgaming.com

PM me your ventrilo server information and let me check your settings.

I get the following error even after i changed the permissions to 755

Can't find or run ventrilo_status
Please check your permissions on ventrilo_status

PM me this information:

- Your web host
- Your website

Send me that and we'll get it straight.

My host has disabled some of the commands used for security reasons. Can anyone recommend a good shared / reseller host that will allow me to run this mod? Preferably with Linux / cPanel.

Thanks :)

Hello, I am also getting

Can't find or run ventrilo_status
Please check your permissions on ventrilo_status

when i point to ventrilo.php i get the following...

Warning: require_once(./includes/config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in xxxx/xxx/x/board/includes/ventrilo/ventrilo.php on line 19

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php52/pear') in xxxx/xxx/x/board/includes/ventrilo/ventrilo.php on line 19

Any ideas?

My permissions are ok, not sure how to correct this.

Evening Crimm

I'd previously installed your mod on an old site I admined, but now I'm helping out with a new one, and I'm having issues. I've tried all the troubleshooting. I've confirmed Safe PHP is off, and I can see the mod load in VBA, it stays on No Resonse however.

I've logged into the server using the addy, port and password for the server, which works perfectly, but plugging the same info into the options still results in no response.

Any help would be greatly appreciated since this is a mod that all on the site are eager to have.

Call your WEB host and make sure they aren't blocking that port.

Try that first, if that doesn't work PM me with this information:

1. Website URL
2. Who is your web host? e.g. Godaddy
3. Ventrilo information
4. What you are using as your settings in the vB options.

I look forward to helping you.

Good call on the webhost Crimm. They're of course refusing to open it for security reasons. You wouldn't happen to be able to recommend an agreeable webhost that's not interested in breaking the bank?

I always recommend Network Solutions. It's who I use for all of my sites and I'm really happy with them.

That's only my opinion though.

Hey guys, I just have a couple suggestions. I had the ventrilo_status problem, and I tinkered around a bit to fix it.

Firstly, if you're having a problem with ventrilo_status, and you know the permissions are correct (chmod 755), first check to see if you can run the program. SSH to your server, go to the directory it's in, and put "./ventrilo_status" to try to run it. If it's fine, you'll get a messaging stating "ERROR: No command code specified." If you get a Segmentation Fault, you installed it wrong - apparently, ventrilo is very particular about how and where it's unzipped. I unzipped it via a windows machine, and uploaded through ftp - this screwed up the file. So, unzip this mod *where it's going to be installed*. It should work, but I went to Ventrilo's website and downloaded the server package to obtain a nice fresh copy of ventrilo_status. Either way should be fine.

Also, if your vbadvanced is located outside of your /forums directory (mine, for example, is in the directory below it), you might have problems, because it seems to screw up the require_once stuff in ventrilo.php.

Load up yourwebsite.com/forums/includes/ventrilo/ventrilo.php in your browser, and see what it says. If you get some errors about global.php and/or /includes/config.php, you need to add this line below the include's (ie: "include "ventrilodisplay_ex2.php";") in ventrilo.php:
This tells php that we're in the base forums directory, and everything seems to be happy thereafter.

Sorry if I stepped on your toes, Crimm - just figured I'd help some people if they had the same problems I had. It's a great mod!

Thanks for taking the time to document that.

Hopefully soon I will get time to update my mods. I have some really cool features I want to implement on the Ventrilo blocks.

I finally got around to changing hosts so that I could run this script. Installed first time, works like a charm. Thanks so much :D

These options would be made of win!
