Blog and Site Settings issue

mojoPortal Version 2.3.5.8, MySQL, Ubuntu 10.04
mono 2.8.2, ASP.NET Info v2.0.50727 Running in Full Trust

In Administration/Site Settings, the Apply button doesn't work for me - when changed some settings, clicked the button, it just got disabled with text "please wait" and nothing happened.

The same in Blog - I wrote the blog post, but when I clicked the Save button - got disabled and nothing happened, nothing got saved.

There's nothing in log, Data folder has proper permissions.

I guess it's mono related, since on my windows machine this works, but I wanted to ask, if I can do something about it...

Thank you,

Tomas Vondracek

Re: Blog and Site Settings issue

Hi Tomas,

I there is really "nothing" in the log then file system permissions are not correct. Are you saying the log is completely empty or just not seeing any related error messages logged? The log should not be completely empty, also if you try to clear the log and that causes an error then the file system permissions are not correct. Incorrect file system permissions can cause a range of problems including those you descibe.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Blog and Site Settings issue

Hello Joe,

the log isn't empty. But there is nothing related to my issues / nothing is inserted to the log in time of my attempts to change Site settings. Sorry for bad formulation. 

I double-checked permissions for Data folder and everything is read/write for everybody. I tried to clear the log and it worked fine. If there is anything I can provide or do to help, tell me.

Thanks,

Tomas

Re: Blog and Site Settings issue

Hi Tomas,

Do files exist under /Data/Sites/1/systemfiles ?

If so try deleting them, as long as file system permissions are correct they should be re-created as needed and it may solve the problem.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Blog and Site Settings issue

Hello Joe,

Unfortunatly, it didn't help. The files in /Data/Sites/1/systemfiles existed. I deleted them and after I accessed the Site Settings, sitesettingscachedependecy.config file was recreated.

I found another issue, site statistics modul doesn't work:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at mojoPortal.Web.StatisticsUI.SiteStatisticsModule.OnInit (System.EventArgs e)

Re: Blog and Site Settings issue

Hi Tomas,

Unfortunately there are almost always bugs in Mono and these are beyond my control, it works correctly on windows. I do my best to try to support Mono with mojoPortal but I cannot recommend using Mono for important production sites because there have always been bugs, with each new release of Mono (from 2004 until today) some bugs get fixed and some new ones appear, so it is always a your mileage may vary kind of thing using Mono.

Best,

Joe
