vb.org Archive - Anti-Spam Options - [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic

I will give that a shot, but without knowing exactly which urls in the file to change and which ones to leave alone I worry I might screw something up. Since the mod does seem to work correctly when their servers are up I'm not sure even changing the api address would do much to solve my original issue.

My concern still is that the issue I had really didn't revolve around whether the server could be contacted or not but rather what it did when it couldn't be contacted. When it couldn't be contacted it didn't do what it said it did nor what the settings chosen in the admincp were set up for it to do.

Is this product no longer supported by the original author? Seems like this mod has been abandoned by GlowHost.com, their last post was close to a year ago. Not really a product that many large vB forums could live without!

As it says in that post change all of them. If it does not work you can always install the unedited one again? But if you do use this new URL you need to register with them and get a new api

My installation is working fine, and I didn't make any modifications to the code. SFS has occasionally been unreachable in the last few weeks, but has always come back eventually. I don't see what benefit there is to changing the URLs from www. to api.

You should a least keep one first line of defense to weed out most of the less advanced spambots. If not a Captcha, then at least a challenge question.

The current address does not have all these capabilities and supposedly will not be getting them (from what I can tell) but still may work for some time. Currently both are working, but it is something everyone using this mod should keep on top of.

@stalkingdatoast
1) Did you upload all files before trying to import the XML file?

2) Open PHPMyAdmin and make sure the have the table vb_glowhostspamomatic_log If you do not then create the table and then try it again.

Here is the SQL for that table, you can add it manually from PHPMyAdmin

Your MySQL Version : 5.5.23-55 doesn't recognize TYPE=MyISAM. There are 3 instances of it in the XML file. Open the XML and replace the 3 occurrences with ENGINE=MyISAM

That will fix the problem.

vB.org REALLY needs an option for a wiki post after the OP like other sites do.
