Guestbook not posting the comments?
Permalink
Wasn't sure where to post this query (have posted it here and in the general chit chat - sorry for the duplication)
I have installed concrete 5.4.2.2 for two different clients and have noticed that the comments won't work?
If you have a look at:http://info.kjgraphics.co.uk/index.php/about/guest-book/...
and try and add a comment (this is still just the standard sample content site with no modifications) you get this error:
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /index.php could not be found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
with this written as the url:http://info.kjgraphics.co.uk/index.php?cID=70&bID=27&arHand...
I have this error on both installs. I also have two other install's working with the same provider? Has anyone got any ideas what may be causing this issue?
Any help would be really appreciated 'cause I have no idea where to look?
PS: if you have "pretty URL's" it goes to the standard page not found but still has the 'ugly' URL.

Hi There, welcome to Concrete5 - I hope you get to love this CMS as I have (although I have so much to learn!!!)
The answer I give didn't need me to change anything but my host had to change something at their end to allow the "passthru" to be written in the URL.
So if you are still having problems then I suggest you contact your host. If the problem you are experiencing isn't quite the same, try posting a more detailed synopsis of your problem and other community members may be able to help.
Good luck

I recently upgraded for new version on C5 and permissions got really messed up.
It also deactivated the following Add Ons:
'Advanced Guestbook Comment' is not working, 'Simple Blog Post' is not working, 'Popup Menu' is not working.
Please see attachment.

Sorry I don't know enough about C5 to be able to offer you support. I just posted the solution to my problem incase anyone else had a similar experience. I also haven't got my feet wet with the new version of C5 as I thought I'd wait to make sure all the add-ons I like to use are compatible.
I suggest you start a new thread detailing exactly what your problems might be - I think you may need to be a bit more detailed to get an answer though.
Good luck.

Contact your host and check the server settings because this was to do with the passthru function being mentioned in the URL. Their servers do not allow the passthru function, so it was recognising this and stopping it from working (although on a newer server it worked). Their mod_security has now been changed to allow the passthru in the URL whilst still not allowing the actual php function. (this all goes over my head but hey, it now works!). They said:
"The passthru function is disallowed on all of our servers, however in the case of concrete5, it's the parameters in the URL that are being scanned by a security layer called mod_security. Concrete5 will not actually be using the php passthru function, it's just that the parameter in the URL is being disallowed.
I have therefore removed the 'passthru' string from the URL checking in mod_security on the server so that your concrete5 will run. This does not actually reduce security since, as I say, the actual php function itself is disabled."
Hopefully this may help anyone who gets a similar problem.
