getting this error once block is activated.

thanks for the help

De-activate and I'll be in touch shortly.

Heading home for the night.

I'm really getting quite frustrated.

Neither this mod nor the other one are working! I know my server is up (on it right now)....and I have the file chmodded to 755 (if I use the ventrilotest.php files from the ventrilo site the error is "CVentriloStatus->Request() failed. No response from server." so the actual ventrilo_status file is fine).

Ughhh

What is going on?!?!?!

Also, if I enter my vent info on the dozen sites available that do this for you it works fine (such as http://ventrilo.com/status.php)

So it's obviously on the web server side. But what could it be??

edit: host is hostgator.

Quick question to the author:

My Ventrilo configuration is secured with user-authentication. Meaning, you just don't log on with a pre-assigned server password and any-old user name. My Vent requires use of the User-Editor feature with a pre-assigned user name and password (i.e. each user's password is unique and is tied to their pre-assigned user name for authentication to connect). As such - does your configuration file allow the use of a pre-assigned user name and password? or does it just allow a generic password? If the latter - then it will not work for me.

I know - my Vent configuration is not the norm. But I have over 1,000 members - and thus we run a very tight ship in on Ventrilo.

Thanks!

Ill be back online tonight and respond to everyone. I'm out of town using my Blackberry right now.

no problem, thanks for helping us all. I'm going nuts on my end and can't get a decent answer from my host if it's b/c of there CMOD security.

Spoke to my host (hostgator). They won't open ports on shared servers.

I'm coming to find out that:

Godaddy
Hostgator
Gameservers

Are all blocking the ports on certain plans. I'm going to add this to the FAQ today.

Thank you and good luck with your webhost.

This vent status comes from ventrilo.com. From my knowledge the status can't be blocked with anything other than a simple status password. i.e. Doesn't take user authentication.

I know your security is tight, but if you want you can PM me the following things:

Ventrilo Server address
Ventrilo Server port
Ventrilo Server host

What I have found in the past is that most Ventrilo hosts don't even enable the status password. If nothing else we can punch it into a test. Note: I do NOT need an account to access your ventrilo server to get the status.

If you don't feel comfortable sharing with me. You can go here and give it a shot:

http://ventrilo.com/status.php

Did you upload the files that are in the zip? It seems to not be able to find the ventrilo.php file.

did some more testing and changing the CHMOD and now got this error

That's odd.

Do this for me. I'm still out of town ... PM me your site and what steps you took for install. Let's get this fixed.

Thanks
