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!
