Install issues

Hello,

I am trying to install the RC3 version on windows machine. I installed the apache and going to  http://localhost I have the confirmation page that is running. However when I'm installing Contentteller at the Install directory option after I select the corect path I get the message "Unable to connect to host localhost" Please check setting.... Any ideas ?

I choose the install path under apache\htdocs so the permissions should be fine...

I found the problem. SMF handle bans a bit different then expected Winking Face

As a workaround change:
Group 1 (optional): 0 4 5 6 7 8
Group 2 (optional): 1
Group 3 (optional): 2 3
Group 4 (optional): 98
Group 5 (optional): 98
Group 6 (optional): 99

An updated integration script that properly handle banned users is included in the next version.

Did you used the admin account or a separate user account?

I tried SMF 1.1.6 here but was not able to reproduce the banned error on my installation.

Can you send me a PM with the admin login of both your Contentteller and SMF installation?

I see SMF require also to set a cookie name.

You can get the cookie name of your current SMF installation in the SMF admin under Server Settings => Core Configuration => Cookie Name. Then copy this name to the Cookie Name field of Manage Websites in the Contentteller admin control panel.

Let me know if this fix the problem.

Hello,

I choose SMF1.1 as Universal Wrapper. Then the rest of the settings are :

Group 1 (optional): 4 5 6 7 8
Group 2 (optional): 1
Group 3 (optional): 2 3
Group 4 (optional): 0
Group 5 (optional): 0
Group 6 (optional): 99
Table prefix (optional): smf_

I am able to log on the main site with the users created on the forum, but when I try to reply on comments on site I got the message

Error
Your account has been banned.

Thank You for your assistance,
Dan

On the Contenteller manage website I have set up the Universal Wrapper to use Contentteller . Do I miss something ?

Yes, you should choose SMF 1.1 or SMF 2.0 instead of Contentteller

Additionally, you may need to change the following settings:

Group 1 (optional): 4 5 6 7 8
Group 2 (optional): 1
Group 3 (optional): 2 3
Group 4 (optional): 0
Group 5 (optional): 0
Group 6 (optional): 99
Table prefix (optional): smf_

Contentteller will use the forum user database only for the front end. Any user that is registered in your forum can login on the front page to post comments etc. You need to manage these users with your forum admin control panel; they will not show up in Contentteller admin.

The admin backend is independent from your forum user database. All admin users must be added in Contentteller admin. This is mainly for security and stability reasons.


This is the problem I am facing, any user created on the forum is not able to log on the main website ...

Contentteller didn't change the location of your forum. You can access it under the same URL where you have installed it previously.

Sound like there is a problem with your database server. Is the MySQL database server installed and have you setup a database?
