Question Can't Save Configuration - Not solved

It seems my other thread got locked, on the impression that it was solved :huh: , but it hasn't been solved. In fact , the problem still remains :dry: . I cant save the configuration, it saved only once ( the very first time ), and after that it just wont save, I have to phpmyadmin to edit the mysql kunena config entry, if i want any changes done.

I have followed what matias had said to unzip it in a directory (temp folder) and installed it from there, but no use.

Does anyone know the problem I'm having ? Thanks in advance.

Hi there guys,

I try so hard to save the configuration in kunena, but it just wont save, it simple redirects to index 2 page, for example :

From this : mydomain.net/administrator/index2.php?op...&task=showconfig

To : mydomain.net/administrator/index2.php

I had to use phpmyadmin to save most of my configs, yet still i don't want to have that problem, makes life a bit harder, u know.

Any help will be greatly appreciated..

While no one was replying :dry: , I did some work myself, as i just couldn't stand waiting any longer, I've had this problem since a very long time.

So what I did was, erase the set_time_limit error from kunena.install.php , now bear in mind that to install kunena, it takes less than 30 seconds for me, which is why i erased it, so i get no errors at all, and the set_time_limit was the only error i got on most of my previous attempts to install it. As you can see in this image:



And to make it even better, I removed the three templates - default_red, Grey , and Green and their content. * Take note here that I also removed their names from the .xml list. Sweet, loving knowing that knowledge .

So the final product that I got, was this successful installation , other than adding those fbfiles and chmoding them, as you can see in this image

I have personally checked and approved that every file was installed correctly and saw that the database had its tables correctly as well.

If you ask me, I personally think, the problem resides in kunena's ability to edit/add ,or etc. the mysql database only in changing the configuration because the rest work like adding forums, user sync ,edit user profiles, all but configuration; if its not that then its probably the server side mysql configuration. One last hunch that i also have is, it might be Joomla 1.5.10, just a hunch there.

Well, I have wasted lot of time into trying to get kunena to work, and have delayed the production of my site quiet for some time now. I looked around for somehting that cna replace kunenea/fireboard, the ccBoard has some promising feature but i wouldn't pick it over kunena, JoomBB looks nice but not stable, agora worked out but I just cant stay away from Kunena/Foreboard :laugh: .

Any one knows what could be wrong ? thanks in advance

Hi tryout,

I am sorry for your problem. I reported the problem to DEVs, just have a little time to look.

Regards

Sure, Thanks a bunch quila .

Installation and saving configuration still needs some work..

That warning in installation can be ignored: you have safe mode turned on.

I believe that your problems are related to MySQL permissions: does Joomla have permissions to add and remove tables?

Do you get any error message when trying to save configuration? Try to enable joomla debug mode and see if you get any error messages.

BTW, if configuration is saved at the first time: workaround for your problem would be to drop both jos_fb_config tables from phpmyadmin just before saving new configuration.

Before I begin, I would like to say that, yes, joomla does has the right and correct access to mysql database.

Now then, I would say this reply has helped some what in a weird way, :lol: . You see, saving the configuration worked straight 5 times in a row, more or less, after i turned on system debugging. :laugh: . Then I found myself with a feeling to check out mysql database, when I did, it had another fb table , "fb_config_backup", which wasn't there previously. This can mean that this backup table would have been created if the configuration was being saved, but since it wasn't being saved that is why it wasn't created. This can also mean the statement made before this sentence, is wrong :lol: and the problem could be somehthing else. * One question regarding the config and config_backup tables, which of them should have the default configurations ?

I also noticed how debugging kept track of queries, at that moment I had a hunch that the reason why with debugging my configuration is being saved is because it serves a active link between joomla and mysql, in other words, before when the configuration wasn't being saved - it was probably because, it couldn't change or executed the changes of the configuration into mysql.

Another thing i noticed was that there was # after the url : mydomain.net/administrator/index2.php?option=com_kunena&task=showconfig : and that it wasnt there without debugging. This is important because when adding a forum or using other abilities of kunena there usually is # after the url in the address box.

Furthermore, I don't want to have to use debugging to get things to work :laugh:, there has to be an easier way, surely there must be something you guys know to solve that. Thanks guys , I understadn what you guys do and I apreciate it :laugh:.
