Title: cant' connect Post by: roger on September 03, 2006, 06:32:19 AM Hi
Mambot installed and published. Folder and files permissions are correct. My admin password does not start with a 0 The FTP has been verified. But impossible to connect.... "can't get initial settings" I have tried with my user login/pass same results Also, when I click Verify for the user and password, nothing happens... Any suggestions? Could it be that it s not compatible with SEFx? My URL does not start with www. does the programme try to add it to my URL? Thx ~R Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: ncandel on September 03, 2006, 06:37:17 PM ...I have the same problem...

I am thinking that the new security settings may be an issue. I run 1.0.11 ~R Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: ncandel on September 04, 2006, 07:47:11 AM 1.0.11
Nicolás Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: chris on September 04, 2006, 08:41:23 AM roger, ncandel... I have tested Blogg-X 2.11 with the latest version of Joomla! 1.0.11 and everything is fine. The server I tested it on is using the .htaccess file, has register_globals turned off and url_fopen turned off as well.
Have either of you deleted any of the default sections or categories within the Joomla! system? If the "Latest News" section has been deleted you will have this problem. Thanks... chris Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Thursday on September 04, 2006, 07:07:11 PM I have a connection problem, and have not deleted "Latest News" Besides, I don't want it posted to the Latest news category... more help on connecting, and help on how to change it so that it doesn't need the Latest News category, and uses a category of our choice?

Thanks... chris Chris, Yes I have deleted most of them.... I only kept the FAQ and Newsflash... Why does Blogg-X needs the other section? Is there a way arround this? Thx ~R Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: willy on September 04, 2006, 08:13:29 PM I have the same problem. I deleted the Latest News section. I'm using custom names for my sections. It seems pretty arbitrary to expect the Latest News section to be in use for such a customizable system and executable combination. How quickly can you fix this?

I realize I have been promising the new version of Blogg-X for a while now and it's still being worked on, but coming along well :). In the meantime I will be patching Blogg-X 2.11 this week to resolve some of the bugs. I will try to get it out this week sometime and will be a bugfix only not including any new features. Hopefully this will help everyone out until I get the 2.5 release completed.
Thanks... chris Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: roger on September 05, 2006, 08:43:03 PM Ok
We will be watching this space !!! ;) ~R Title: Re: STILL cant' connect Post by: roger on September 18, 2006, 07:43:59 PM Hi Mambot installed and published. Folder and files permissions are correct. My admin password does not start with a 0 The FTP has been verified. But impossible to connect.... "can't get initial settings" I have tried with my user login/pass same results Also, when I click Verify for the user and password, nothing happens... Any suggestions? Could it be that it s not compatible with SEFx? My URL does not start with www. does the programme try to add it to my URL? Thx ~R Hi I maybe one of the unlucky, but I still can't connect after installing the new release and the new Mambot. Also the Verify button for the "Joomla Settings" does not seems to do anything. The FTP is verified. Could it be that my host does not allow the connection for some reason? Or that it is a joomla version problem? I have installed it on two different sites hosted in different places. One still runs 1.0.10 (blogg-X workd), the other 1.0. 11 (Blogg -X does not work) and both runs PHP 5.1.7-dev What should I look for ? Best ~R Edit: more details added Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: revmark on September 18, 2006, 09:03:14 PM Same problem as before, Chris.
FTP verifies but the Joomla login does not. I have register globals off. But where is the url_fopen? Funny thing is I had the .85 beta running. Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: chris on September 19, 2006, 11:22:55 AM roger, can you PM me with site URL and an admin or publisher account name and password? Also please double check the permissions.

and anyway there where still a few redundant Code: define( 'YOURBASEPATH', dirname(__FILE__) ); to remove... so here my version of the "blogg-x_server.php" file, that works like a breeze on my site. 1) download the attached file 2) rename it to "blogg-x_server.php" by removing the ".txt" extension 3) in the mambots/blogg-x_2_0/ directory ON YOUR SERVER, rename the "blogg-x_server.php" to "blogg-x_server.php.backup" 4) upload the new "blogg-x_server.php" file to this directory 5) start Blogg-x and enjoy ! ADMIN EDIT: Removed file to eliminate confusion, mato's fixes have been made in the mambot package attached in the post below. Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: chris on October 05, 2006, 07:59:23 PM mato... Interesting, I will take a look into this as well. Interesting that it may cause issues on some servers and not others.
Has it helped anyone else that's been experiencing the same problem? Thanks... chris Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Rean on October 07, 2006, 06:38:01 AM Have installed the file, can verify both FTP and admin settings, but still receive an error saying initial settings cannot be retrieved.
Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: chris on October 07, 2006, 09:59:12 AM Give the mambot attached below a try. I changed some of the loop logic and fixed all the items that mato pointed out, as well as modified the getdatabase.php file.
NOTE: This mambot only works with Blogg-X 2.12 and isn't backwards compatible to 2.11. Make sure to unistall the previous version before installing this one. Please let me know the results!! Thanks... chris Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: chris on October 08, 2006, 12:12:46 PM Anyone having any luck with this?

Can you tell me exactly what problems you were having before using the new mambot? No connection at all? Could verify settings, but got "initial settings" error? Anything else?
Thanks... chris Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: roger on October 08, 2006, 08:37:00 PM Anyone having any luck with this? chris No luck with the site I have problem with before. But as I said I guess it s a problem with my host since BloggX works with my other site hosted by a different host! ~R Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: chris on October 08, 2006, 09:07:35 PM Roger, I don't think I got any information back from the host, I will check the forums again. But that host does have an odd setup, and the Blogg-X mambot is definitely being blocked, just not sure what they have denying access.

Roger Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Doug Craven on October 09, 2006, 07:05:32 PM Hello, Chris. I have been reading this thread and nothing seems to solve my problem. I have a Joomla site running on Siteground. The address is www.luckynth.com. I have installed the latest version of the Mambot (from your site today) and the latest version of the software. I have also altered the filename as instructed in your forum (from 2_0 to 2_12). I still cannot connect. Frustrating, because this looks like what I need. Good work on the concept anyway.
Doug Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: chris on October 09, 2006, 08:00:51 PM Doug... Sorry about the confusion, the directory name should not be changed, should still be blogg-x_2_0. Try re-installing the mambot then check the file permissions as outlined in the FAQ's and see if that helps.
chris Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: mato on October 10, 2006, 08:15:11 AM Thank you for the update Chris, there are no more errors logged on the server side !
But i can't logging with this version...

Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: J on October 11, 2006, 07:12:41 PM Doug, I'm on Siteground and I found the file permissions were the culprit.

I read this topic carrefully, and it seems that my problem has already been solved : ftp and connection tests are ok, but I get error while getting initial settings. I deleted almost all pre-defined categories (Latest news) and I think that's why it doesn't work. I saw that your sent a correction release for the mambot in the following reply : Re: cant' connect « Reply #18 on: October 07, 2006, 09:59:12 AM » But my problem is that I cannot find your correction file (nothing attached to the post...) :( Could you please tell me where I can get it ??? Thank you for your help, and congratulation for your gret job ! Lionel Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: verasch on February 04, 2007, 05:31:20 PM I'm having the same issue. I've installed Blogg-X 2.12 for OS X, and when I click on verify username and password, it doesn't do anything. However, when I click on the ftp settings, it says it's all good in the hood (well, in not so many words any way).
I tried the changing the file and directory permissions, but no dice. I have the same version of the Mambot installed, and I'm not behind any proxies. Please advise. This tool seems really cool. It would be real cool to use if it could work (though it's a little weird having an application that resembles an XP program on my very mac desktop ;) ).

When i change the folder&files access properties, it works properly. Thanks so much for the great tool. Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Rogelio Sanchez on May 02, 2007, 09:23:27 PM Having the same problem as most of you. Also using Siteground and Joomla 1.0.12. Went thru all the usual suspects:
1) Installed new mambot version 2.12 2) Changed permissions to 755 folder and 644 all files 3) No proxy 4) Username and password verify fine (has having trouble before changing permissions) Still I canot connect to the server. What else should I try? Thanks for any help. BTW, BloggX looks awesome as a tool. Thanks for the great work, Chris.

Any help please ? Thanks in advance Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Diana on July 23, 2007, 04:32:54 AM I get the same error in the error.log file in Blogg-X\bin:
Avoiding obscuring previous error by supressing error encountered while ending request: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClientException: Exception closing URLConnection java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) ... Avoiding obscuring previous error by supressing error encountered while ending request: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClientException: Exception closing URLConnection ExecuteRequest server.get_startup_settings (It's really long) I've read through several threads in the forum and haven't been able to find a solution, although I don't know how to check if my web host is blocking this program or not, which someone had mentioned. * Permissions are 755 and 644 as instructed. * I'm using Blogg-X 2.12 and the corresponding mambot. * I have 32 *'s in the password. * I'm not using http:// in front of my website URL. * Register Globals is ON (I can't turn it off because my websites will stop working), it's just how I code. * I CANNOT sign into FTP (address incorrect or not available) but I can sign on through Windows Explorer with the same settings so I know they're correct. * My Windows firewall is OFF. I have a router firewall that wouldn't prevent this from getting out. * I tried removing that last line of code from the blogg-x_server.php script but it didn't fix anything. * When I click to verify the login settings for Joomla! nothing happens but I do get "There was an error trying to initialize settings..." when I open Blogg-X or close the Account Settings window. * I can guarantee that I deleted the Latest News section. If there were others I deleted, I wouldn't know what they were to add them back in but would be willing to give it a shot if you think that will fix it. * (I've done everything suggested in the 5-9 posts I read) That java error looks pretty suspicious but I was never much of a wiz at java. I'll check back. I tried Blogg-X about 6 months ago on another computer and couldn't get it to work so I was hoping it would work on my new one. Until they can make Microsoft's Blog This or Windows Live Writer work with Joomla! (which I was reading maybe Joomla! 1.5?) Blogg-X is my last great hope. I usually enter blogs in Notepad and update Joomla when I get around to it which is monthly at most. Looking forward to a fix. Thanks so much! Diana Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Lee Mills on July 28, 2007, 07:00:24 AM Okay, mine is still not working but I had a thought...
Do these problems have something to do with the new Joomla! 1.0.13 version? At least on my end. They totally changed the way passwords are handled. Thanks in advance... Lee Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Chris Muller on July 29, 2007, 04:24:04 AM I am unable to sign in on Joomla site from Blogg-X .... under Joomla settings when trying to verify I get the following message: Password verification failed
FTP Username and Password Verifies properly I installed all as suggested and made permission settings as specified in FAQ I also tried various settings in terms of file/directory ownership and permissions from the host console Also tried different Mambot zip file Have Joomla 1.0.13 installed No success - sad :( Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: kgw on July 30, 2007, 09:55:41 AM I think this project (Unfortunately) is dead in the water.
I had this working on 1.0.12 but after a 1.0.13 install it won't. Apparently Joomla has done something with password encryption in 1.0.13 and it has hosed a lot of extensions. Let's hope the creator of Blogg-X can update this as it is a real sweet program. Especially since you type in a long article in joomla and you click save and find out the darn cookie expired. Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Lee Mills on July 30, 2007, 07:55:59 PM Just as I suspected...
Lee Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: snadowitz on August 07, 2007, 07:29:19 AM This looks liek the perfect tool - BUT - I am getting the dreaded no connection errors as many others. I am on Dreamhost - done all the FAQ's and so on but no luck. Any help? I am on Joomla 1.011 and blogg-x .12
Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: Mark Kosinski on August 08, 2007, 05:05:38 AM I am also running Blogg-X 2.12 and was able to use it prior to the 1.0.13 upgrade of Joomla. After the upgrade Blogg-X will not connect. Did the Joomla developers change the password hash from version 1.0.12 to 1.0.13? I checked the table jos_users which is what is called from the mambot when you log in. It appears it is expecting a clear text password... I could be wrong, but maybe that is the problem.
Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: snadowitz on August 08, 2007, 05:57:43 AM Hi - I found the access and error logs for the server and when I try and access blogg-x components I get the following in the access log:
[08/Aug/2007:05:55:03 -0700] "POST /new/mambots/blogg-x_2_0/blogg-x_server.php HTTP/1.1" 200 623 "-" "Java/1.6.0_02" But NOTHING in the error log. I really really really want to use this component but I cannot :( Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: chris on August 16, 2007, 03:53:47 PM Evidently Blogg-X has also been affected by the change in handling passwords that occurred with the Joomla 1.0.13 update. As of now Blogg-X will NOT function correctly with this version because the password hash passed from Blogg-X to Joomla no longer works correctly and can't successfully validate against the Joomla database tables. I am taking a look at the code and will provide an update once I have one available.
chris Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: stephan hodges on October 02, 2007, 07:33:19 AM I've installed the newest 2.13 version and cannot connect. I've never used the component before, so I can't say I've ever gotten it to work. User name and ftp both verify. I just put in "media" for the media directory, assuming the "base directory" would be added. Other than that, everything matches the document requirements. The mambot is also 2.13 and is PUBLISHED (which docs don't mention :o )
I'm running Java 5.11, but I hope that wouldn't be a problem. I do get the screen which lists possible initialization problems. Since I can verify, etc. that rules out the first 3 or 4 items. The generic "connection problems" one is too generic to comment on. I think I am having time out problems, since it loaded a couple of the categories into the combo box, although everything is inactive since it's in "offline" mode. Title: Re: cant' connect Post by: ByteHawk on November 12, 2007, 06:09:22 AM I have been able to solve this problem on one of my joomla installs by using an ftp program to overwrite the plugin in ascii mode
