Unable to FTP your software to my hosting


Using Jamroom

what paul said, you cant use FTP, change to SFTP, your server does not allow FTP.

Proxima suggestion


Proxima

Proxima's not in the marketplace anymore. The Proxima system was one that would allow jamroom to be used as a back-end-as-a-service for programmers building apps.

The proxima skin was specially for that. It wont function very well when used with a standard jamroom setup of a community site.

Lucid Skin Error gets my server blocked on Chrome and Safari


Installation and Configuration

The errors aren't coming from the skin, they're coming from another piece of software that is running on your server: Plesk

Wikipedia: Plesk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plesk

Plesk is software installed into the server to add a graphical interface to navigate server operations.

You're version of it has added extra security rules to the server. Its those extra rules that are the cause of the issue.

The new rules it has added state: "No site on this server is allowed to have a url that contains this set of letters in its url 'style/skin=' ".

Unfortunately for Jamroom we do have a url that contains those letters, so we trigger the issue.

It is correct that we could re-write how jamroom works to make sure we don't use that series of letters.

Lucid Skin Error gets my server blocked on Chrome and Safari


Installation and Configuration

I read that as "Plesk" (a web hosting control script) has installed some extra security measures to protect itself on your server and that one of its rules:
Matched Data: style/skin= found within REQUEST_COOKIES
Which to me means that any piece of software that has a url that contains
/style/skin=
is going to trigger that issue.

Lucid Skin Error gets my server blocked on Chrome and Safari


Installation and Configuration

its not a skin issue. its a server issue. The issue is the server is not allowing its own process (the one that is running the site) to write to the file system.

Then what its doing is blocking the user at the browser level.

Its not a bug, it reads "Server Error - 403 Forbidden". Unless its a bug in the area of the path creation which could be possible because its in a sub-directory. I can check that out.

Are you able to access your servers error logs? Could you see if there is any information about what its complaining about?

Lucid Skin Error gets my server blocked on Chrome and Safari


Installation and Configuration

What happens when the selection in the "CSS File" option is selected is the:
jrCore_create_media_directory()

function is called that tries to create a new media directory which should be created at:
/public_html/data/media/0/0

and if that cant be created you should see it in the error log at:
/public_html/data/logs/error_log

My current best guess is the apache2 user does not have write permissions for that location and that's whats causing the error.

--edit--
It looks like the block can be navigated around by using the CONTAINER TABS plugin in firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

just open as a different user and the block is no longer in place.

Adding Multiple TXT files to a Blog post


Installation and Configuration

maybe zip the txt files into chapter-1.zip, or label the chapter text files
* april-something-o1.txt
* april-something-o2.txt
* april-something-o3.txt
* april-something-o4.txt
......
Then when the new chanpter comes out, edit the first comment and add some more files
* may-something-o1.txt
* may-something-o2.txt
* may-something-o3.txt
* may-something-o4.txt

The other way to do it is to use the jrFile module and add the files to the FILES tab of the profile so they are there when the blog post is made, then you can use the "Embed Media" (jrEmbed) module to attach the files to the blog post. (bit more work though and I thought the request was one of speed)

Adding Multiple TXT files to a Blog post


Installation and Configuration

one way it could be done immediately would be to store the attachments in the first comment of the blog post.
(.mp4 screencast is in the .zip file attached.)
