xoops bridge failed after 1.4.8 update

[chainsawbeer]

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and XOOPs:

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../mainfile.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/vhosts/chainsawbeer.com/httpdocs/gallery/bridge/xoops.inc.php on line 30

Coppermine install: http://www.chainsawbeer.com/gallery/
Forum install: http://www.chainsawbeer.com/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.8
Forum version: Xoops v2.2.4
Test user account: cpgtest / cpgtest1

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://www.chainsawbeer.com
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../
Use post-based groups?:  1

After upgrading to 1.4.8 I received the above error.  I've tried hardcoding the mainfile.php location and changing the bridgemgr switch as well as applying the xoops pathcheck patches.

Turned off bridge manager for now till I can track down what's causing the issue... it seems perfectly functional as long as bridging is off.

Where is mainfile.php actually located then?

After upgrading to 1.4.8 I received the above error.

What version did you upgrade from?

There's little we could do to actually help you if bridging is off.

I've re-enabled bridge manager.  url-wise the gallery is at http://www.chainsawbeer.com/gallery/ while mainfile.php is at http://www.chainsawbeer.com/mainfile.php.  File system locations are /var/www/vhosts/chainsawbeer.com/httpdocs/gallery/ and /var/www/vhosts/chainsawbeer.com/httpdocs/mainfile.php.  I upgraded to 1.4.8 from 1.4.3

Did you try giving the bridge manager the full path to the file?

[chainsawbeer]

I'm pretty sure I'm doing it correctly... fill me in if not...

I changed

Code Select Expand

define('USE_BRIDGEMGR', 1);


to

Code Select Expand

define('USE_BRIDGEMGR', 0);


and

Code Select Expand


if (!USE_BRIDGEMGR) {
        require_once('../xoops/mainfile.php');
} else {
        require_once($BRIDGE['relative_path_to_config_file'] . 'mainfile.php');
}


to

Code Select Expand


if (!USE_BRIDGEMGR) {
        require_once('../mainfile.php');
} else {
        require_once($BRIDGE['relative_path_to_config_file'] . 'mainfile.php');
}

Don't edit any file, just use the bridge manager script.

Ok.  I reunzipped the 1.4.8 archive and copied the default xoops.inc.php in the bridge/ directory.  I then re-enabled the bridge with the bridge manager and now I'm getting

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../mainfile.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/vhosts/chainsawbeer.com/httpdocs/gallery/bridge/xoops.inc.php on line 30

again.


the bridge manager settings are

Bridge Wizard: enable/disable BBS integration
Your bridge settings
Forum URL:  http://www.chainsawbeer.com

Did you try giving the bridge manager the full path to the file?

ie. /var/www/vhosts/chainsawbeer.com/httpdocs/

*slaps self in the forehead*  sorry for the agitation and thanks for the help guys.  Working as a jr admin ya'd think I wouldnt make such trite oversights, but as it turns out, because I'd just migrated the site from a server I had colocated to a virtual dedicated temporarily, I'd forgotten to change ownership back when I un-tar'd the whole shebang and the include directory was still own'd by the old user account.  A quick chown -R and chgrp -R of the gallery directory fixed the entire debacle.  Thanks again and sorry to have wasted your time.
