Hi!

I updated to 2.6.13 RC2. Then I wanted to post a message in a group that is synced with a newsgroup. Every time I want to post a message I only get an blank screen:

<html><body></body></html>

The message is posted to the forum but not to the newsgroup.

It makes no difference if a activate the option to approve messages before posting.

I thought it could be a problem with the update. So I cleaned everything up. I deleted the tables, I deleted all folders. Then I reinstalled it. There was no difference.

I remembered that I had this problem already when manually applying two fixes that were related to a quote problem. So I guess the problem lies in these two files that were changed with these fixes.

Bye!

Are there any messages like SQL errors inside the forum's error log file?

Hi!

No, there are no related log entries Sad

As I said before I had the same problem when applying some patches. It were the patches 3477 and 3479.

That means the problem lies in either the file "install/forum_data/include/email_msg_format.inc" or "install/forum_data/src/imsg_edt.inc.t"

Bye!

Do you have PHP error logging enabled, perhaps PHP errors out resulting in this problem?

I haven't changed anything. Where should I change what?

Inside forum's main directory there is a file called .htaccess, modify it with the following new lines:

php_flag display_errors 1
php_value error_reporting 4097

Sorry, that doesn't change anything Sad

Still a blank screen.

Update: If you tell me what files are involved when posting a message then I can do some debugging to see where the problem lies.

Bye!

Well the compiled posting template is post.php and it uses include/email_msg_format.inc for the plain text conversion.

From what you've described it sounds like some sort of a scripting error is happening.

Hi!

The problem is somewhere else:

if (!@is_resource($this->fs)) {
  $this->error = "Unable to establish connection to $this->server on port $this->port failed\nWith Error #$errno : $errstr\n"; 
  return false;
}

The error message (that isn't printed) is:

Zitat:

Unable to establish connection to *** on port 119 failed With Error # :

Bye!

Here is the patch for that problem, it should exit on message posting.

Now it isn't blank anymore, but the error_log is full with:

Zitat:

Failed to recieve proper response to POST command, NNTP server replied:
Posting Failed, NNTP Server Said:
Unable to establish connection to *** on port 119 failed
With Error # :

Just another question: Where does the script connect to the newsgroup? I searched in "nntp.inc" for "port" and "server" but haven't found anything.

I guess the problem lies within the part that does the connection to the newsserver.

Bye!

The connection settings come from the values you've specified inside NNTP admin control panel.

Oops ... It seems to be that accidently I deleted one line of source code ...

Update: I restored the file and now get the following messages:

Zitat:

Failed to recieve proper response to POST command, NNTP server replied:
Posting Failed, NNTP Server Said:
Unable to establish connection to **** on port 119 failed
With Error #115 : Operation now in progress
