Pointless arguing removed.

This thread is for support of the modifcation only, not arguing about buttons on other sites.

1. I cannot access my adminCP. It just keeps taking me back to the home page. I can sign in, sign out of the forum just fine.

2. Regular users (registered) cannot post comments when using the JetPack plug-in.

[GameOverViper]

This wouldn't happen to allow integration with multiple vbulletin forums now would it?

SirSteve, #1 don't you have a redirect rules created in .htaccess that might impact it? #2. What error message do get users when they try to post comments using the JetPack?

Hello there,

I am looking to moving my current D6 site to D7.

I am currently trying to get vbsso to work locally (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) with a Drupal 7.26 and vBullettin 4.2.2.

With the module enabled in Drupal, and putting the shared key from Drupal into vbsso settings in vBulletin, I keep getting the following error

Unable to verify platform [http://testsite.local/vbsso/1.0] Please analyze log files located at `/var/www/vhosts/testsiteforum/webroot/vbsso/logs/` to detect the cause of the issue.

Error message:

There is nothing in the log file.

Is this anything to do with me using a local setup for testing?

I’ve searched the Forum on vBulletin.org, but can’t find any replies to similar problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

vBSSO works locally, could you please take a look at your web server logs. If vBSSO logs are empty it means the error should be captured and by web server log. Secondly you should ensure [http://testsite.local/vbsso/1.0] is accessible by your vBulletin forum, (PHP Curl extension should be turned on). Hope this would help you.

[Edgecrusher]

Thanks for getting back to me xeagle.

Curl is enabled on my local set up and still no luck.

I have got an error log, and pasted it below.

I don't know if it helps, but when I paste the platform address from Drupal 7 in my browser I am getting this.

{"product":6,"version":"7.26","plugin_version":"1. 0.1"}

And the platform address from vBulletin is giving me this.

{"product":1,"version":"4.2.2","plugin_version":"1 .4.12"}

Would be really good to get this resolved, as the Forum is a big part of my site, and though it's not the end of the world, I know it would upset a few people if I have to tell them they have to log in to the site and Forum separately.
