Re: Help with evaluating mojoPortal

As per my previous post, I think the real error is being masked by a try catch block. If you pull down the latest code and get tha global.asax.cs and put it in your solution you should see a more accurate error. I suspect database permission error, as I experienced it myself where mojo user did not have permission to connect from localhost

Re: Help with evaluating mojoPortal

This is the revision 101's error.? Is there any 'debug' mode we can use to log activity to a file or something to track this down?
Server error in '/mojoportal' application
Description: Error processing request.

Error Message: HTTP 500.

I can connect to the mp_Sites table using the user mojo from localhost as well as from across the internet on a remote client.? (I'm experienced with MySql and don't make common mistake)

[root@gateway-c mojoportal]# mysql -u mojo -h localhost -pmojo

Re: Help with evaluating mojoPortal

Are you able to get the site working from your windows development machine and connecting to mysql?

Re: Help with evaluating mojoPortal

Sorry, I gave up with the evaluation and setup cuyahoga.  I needed a framework to make some custom modules for our company's internal use and I wanted to use mojoPortal but cuyahoga worked first try.

Keep up the good work.  Once you get all the hiccups worked out with the different versions of Mono and MySql I'm sure it will take off easily.

Regards

Re: Help with evaluating mojoPortal

Cool, glad you found something that meets your needs. I have a lot of respect for the Cuyahoga framework, its an excellent project.

Re: Help with evaluating mojoPortal

The problems you were having are probably fixed now that I'm using the newer MySQL Connector instead of ByteFX. Upgrading did require code changes in the data access layer, it wasn't just a matter of swapping out ByteFX and putting in the Connector. Thats why it didn't work when you tried to switch it yourself.

Just thought I would let you know in case you would like to try mojoPortal again at some point.

Re: Help with evaluating mojoPortal

Just thought you should know that mojoPortal now works perfectly since dropping Bytefx.   I'm still hopping back and forth between cuyahoga and mohoPortal.  Both are perfect for my project  but both have different pro's and cons.

The amazing part was throwing a new empty module in both portals took less than 2 minutes!  You're not making it easy to decide!.

BTW, Did you write this forum from scratch or is it based on anything?

Re: Help with evaluating mojoPortal

Glad you're giving it another try!

Yeah I wrote the the forums from scratch, thats why it lacks some of the features of the fancier forums. I still plan to enhance it a lot more as I get time and feedback on what it needs. I definitely want to build a stats module at the site level that would give stuff like total users, users online now, and a forum stats module with total posts, most recent posts etc. Personally I've never used stuff that some forums have like keeping track of which messages I've read so I'm keeping some things deliberately less complicated unless I get a lot of feedback requesting such things. I still need to do some work to delegate moderation either to users or roles. So let me know what you like and don't like about it, all feedback is welcome.
