Error Installing Solo Artist Bundle


Design and Skin Customization

It sounds like your hosting provider has made it so you cannot use symlinks, and has blocked the ability to change permissions (i.e. Apache is checking the permissions of all files/directories and will error if they are changed).

I'd recommend contacting your hosting provider and see if they can confirm, or if they have a setting you can change to get it working, since it should work on 755 as long as PHP is running as a CGI/FastCGI.

Hope this helps!

Lynnbird:Brian!

Have a look at the result of the permissions change. 500 server error

OK try 770 then - if that gets you a 500 error as well, then something is different about how your hosting is setup - it could be that your hosting provider does not allow symlinks on the server (which is how Jamroom handles versioning of modules and skins).

Let me know if that helps.

Error Installing Solo Artist Bundle


Design and Skin Customization

Lynnbird:You are helping greatly Brian. I am a member from the old site who's only been on the new site twice. My host for this installation is Brain Host. the folders all seem to be there. Let me do that CHMOD reset and get back to you.

No problem!

Error Installing Solo Artist Bundle


Design and Skin Customization

Lynnbird:Permissions are set at 755 which to my recall means owner read write execute.

Try setting it to 777 temporarily and see if it works - that way we know if the user/group may not be set correctly on the files.

Who is your hosting provider?

Hope this helps!

Error Installing Solo Artist Bundle


Design and Skin Customization

Lynnbird:Hi Brian and thanks for the follow! I don't have a zip file of the bundle; only the install from Marketplace package. where do I find the zip file?

You don't need the zip file:

1) FTP into your site and make sure the skins and modules directories are writable
2) go back into the Marketplace and install the Bundle

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Error Installing Solo Artist Bundle


Design and Skin Customization

Lynnbird:Hi.

I just installed my second Jamroom via Softaculous. Since it is only supporting one artist, I bought the Solo Artist Bundle. This Jamroom doesn't have a purchased license as it should not be necessary for a single artist install, or so I thought.

When I attempted to install the bundle I got this error: "Unable to symlink new skin jrSoloArtist - check file permissions" What does this mean, and how do I correct it?

Welcome to the Jamroom forums!

That error means that the directory permissions on the "skins" directory in your Jamroom install is not writable by the web user - that shouldn't be a case for a Softaculous install however, but if you can, load up your site via FTP and check the permissions on the "skins" and "modules" directories and make sure the web user can write to them.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

form designer field permissions


Using Jamroom

I just tested this here and I don't see any issues with the "Display Groups" multi select - whatever is selected "sticks" and is working for me. When you select multiple groups and save, and then come back, are your choices no longer selected or is that what you've selected does not appear to be working?

Thanks!

Gravatar module questions


Using Jamroom

The problem is there is no way to "detect" that a user's email does not have a gravatar image and show something else (at least not that I am aware of - I can check it out).
