its me again :D
i just changed the emailsettings and now i get this when i set the ladt message id and try gatewy.php:
so it seems its posted.. and now what to do now to receive the newsest answers otr new articles.. that i did not understood really ..

EDIT:
ok, now 10 minutes after i posted my post and searched in the newsgroup with outlook i found it :D yeah it wortked .. but than to receive new articles i call gateway.php thats the point when he downloads and dont stop anymore downloading any stuff but not alwys, receiving its nothing .. just my test posts are showing up in the group .. :(

..still not working correctly.. now tried for many hours .. wont work .. maybe my php 4.0.6 or MySQL ist to old to work 100% with this script.

as i said i can post in the group (sometimes) and many times it downloads without stopping the gateway.php. I tried to finish a download but then i reached 400Mb and stopped it now .. something is crashing . the gateway.php dont want to download messages but sometimes upload my messages i wrote or other wrote in the subforum for the newsgroup.

making a break here and getting a cup coffee .. it should not be that the script works for me .. it would be damn good ;)

Highlander,

You could not post because you did not set "email" in the settings table as you have found out. What is your newsgroup settings for the MS Access group?

KevinM,

Got your PM, it seems your php set up does not have a temp directory for php to use. Do you have a directory under your control that php can write temp files to it?

xb,

Thanks, the empty attachments are the PGP signature. I will deal with this in the new version. (I should have time to work on the script tonight, and hopefuly tomorrow.) Which version of nntp_groups.php do you use that you had the TABLE_PREFIX problem? please check the cvs version at the top of the script. I went through the latest script, but could not find any missed "TABLE_PREFIX". The default user ID is 0 for guest. What did the error say when you used 0 instead of another userid?

This is my version of nntp_groups.php:
$Id: nntp_groups.php,v 1.3 2004/05/17 09:14:31 ns Exp $

just now i see that there is already a newer version. 1.6. Wow +0.3 version updates in 2 days...
Thanks for resolving this :) and sorry for the inconvinience.


I don't seem to get an error, and the posts are inserted. The problem i had with uid 0 is that the posts don't get displayed on the forumdisplay.php script. My guess would be that this is because of the permission settings on that specific forum (guests have no access at all there, while the valid account has).
If i opened up the showthread.php script with parameters, i could see them just fine, but this could also have been due to my administrator access).
I also think that the posts are correctly inserted, only they would appear when i edit the userid into a valid one in phpmyadmin. I thought its only in the threads table, but not entirelly sure of this atm; i made all the uid 0s' a valid one in gateway.php, while i was at it.

While we thought about this over a few posts, i'll try setting guests allowing to post new threads in that forum, and allowing to reply, while i'll upload the newer version of your scripts, for testing purpose. I'll check up on it when i wake up :)

the settings are attached in my previous post before with a jpg image .. i set the email and i am now able (but not every time i run gateway.php) to post in the newsgroup .. when i check it out with outlook i found my test articles in it .. my settings for MS Newsserver are following:

SERVER: msnews.microsoft.com
LAST MESSAGE: 16534 (10 articles still left)
GROUP: microsoft.public.de.german.spiele
USER/PASS: none setted (there is no need)

you see i changed to ms games group0 .. its the same .. every free group i tried has the same problem ..

in the attachemnt i attached an image of my settings ... (email is set the picture is older so dont take care of this :D !)

question:
can you give me another newsserver for testing? your swiftel server want to have user and pass , cant use them for a test.

whats the issue with downloding all the 100mbs? why is gateway an lastmessage.php everytimne saving themself? is this neccessary?

Hope you can help me making the thing work :D

Stick to the "microsoft.public.access" group on the "msnews.microsoft.com" server. Set the lastmsg to 73800. Disable all the other groups, only enable this group!

What is on your screen if you run it manually. If you use IE and it tries to download instead of displaying it on the screen. Please fix the Windows registry following the instruction here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=ie600

This went without result.


I checked the hacks i have inside forumdisplay.php, which is only a warning system. By removing this warning system, the problem was solved.

Lierduh,

It's my own leased server (although I'm stuffed when it comes to knowing how to configure it :ninja: ). I tried creating the directories and changing the path in the script but it had the same error. I then tried changing the v+ to w+ in the fopen statement and the script loops through the attachments without breaking, but produces the following error upon with each attachment:

The attachment is downloaded and inserted correctly for viewing, except for the thumbnail.

Can someone confirm this works on 3.0.1. Thx.

Yes works very well on 3.0.1
