Introduction
Hi to all,
New to Joomla for about 1 month, and have a website up and running with Joomla. I will admit I have not set it up by myself and don't understand PHP although I know some HTML. Have a great friend based in Greece who has amazingly put together and used me as his test. Two heads better than one we have together created and no doubt will continue to do so with this great framework for websites.
Found you on-line with a query I had about user register, lost password.
Looking forward to any meetings or discussions.
Karen

Hullo From Dave Waters
Hi Dave,
Hello and welcome to the forum, would be great if you could get to some meetings - we do hold some in Ipswich, wihch isn't too far away :)
RE your sites, please make sure you update your sites to 1.5.15 before you even consider going to 1.5x or 1.6x - 1.5.13 is quite out of date, including a security revision if memory serves me correctly (meaning you're at risk of getting your site exploited).

How to redirect my site to domainname.com/content?
Can you turn off "Search engine friendly" option and see if that resolves the problem?
If not, the .htaccess file is in the root of the Joomla installation. You need to download it and then you can alter it and ftp it back.
Any probs post back here and I will see if I can help. |

Is it a new Joomla install and what O/S are you running it on?
I'm no expert but 2 things that I would check..
1 - You need to change something in the .htaccess file
2 - A plugin for redirecting or search engine friendly names isnt configured properly.

Hullo From Dave Waters
I was introduced to Joomla! quite by chance when I offered to take over content management of a club website; I'd never heard of it before, and at first I wondered what I'd let myself in for!
My previous (limited) experience of website design and management was with HTML scripting, MS Frontpage and uploading content with FTP, so this was new daparture for me.
However, I got to grips with the basics fairly quickly with the aid of the help topics on the Joomla! site, and now I feel pretty much at home with Joomla!
The next step is to upgrade the club's Joomla version from 1.0.12 to 1.5 (or 1.6 if I wait a while), if I can summon up the courage to do it! The question is, is the upgrade worth the time and trouble if the website is working well at present?
I'm afraid I'm very unlikely to go to meetings, living to the west of Colchester as I do, but I hope JUGS will be interesting and useful. |

JANUARY meeting - when/where?
Hi all,
We need to get planning events for the new year, and we would like your feedback on when/where you would like to have meetings.
Any suggestions? Lowestoft is on the list for the next meeting courtesy of Blue Lobster IT but after that we're up for negotiation!

It will likely be related to the ItemID.
If you look at the un-sef'd version of a URL you'll notice an ItemID, when you publish a module to a menu it links the module appearing with that ItemID.
I suspect that in some places you're linking to the page you expect to have the module show, without the ItemID being present in the URL, so it won't show.
A starting place at least!

I have "latest news" module published to only show on the Front Page but some of my other pages show it but some do not.
Any ideas why? |

Hi from Lee Wilson
So nice to see a community of Joomla lovers in the local area. I myself am based in Ipswich.
I am the owner of a web design company called Blend: http://www.blend.uk.com.
We use various open source platforms on a day to day basis, perhaps the most used one being Joomla.
I myself have used Joomla since it began and Mambo before that, so I suppose when it comes to choosing a CMS for a project, I tend to have a soft spot for the one I am most familiar with.
The best thing to happen to Joomla of late, for me personally, is template overrides, which allow me to have full control over the frontend output of 3rd party extensions, so no more messy 3rd party code breaking validation.
Anyway, I hope to participate more in this little community over the new 12 months, I'm looking forward to meeting like minded people here.

Topic :
File ownership and group membership for files
Following on from
http://docs.joomla.org/Should_PHP_run_as_a_CGI_script_or_as_an_Apache_module%3F
I have run a PHP script containing the line:
"echo "Username: ". get_current_user () ." ( UiD: ". getmyuid() .", GiD: ". getmygid() ." )";"
This returns the user and group ID of the FTP user which owns all the files.
Despite this, and the FTP user having write permission to all the directories and files, Help->SystemInfo->DirectoryPermissions still shows the directories as 'unwriteable'.
If I change the permissions to allow 'other' write then they show as writeable.
I can upload files using the FTP user.
So is this Joomla mis-reading the permissions?
Or is there something in 1.5.14 that is changing the user/group Joomla is running under?
I have so far only run a stand alone diagnostic PHP script - I haven't attempted to change/add a PHP script inside Joomla. |

Topic :
File ownership and group membership for files
Hi,
I am just looking at a new Joomla site and having permissions problems.
Looking in Help->SystenInfo->DirectoryPermissions everything is set as 'Unwriteable'.
Using the server's web based admin tool I can see that file owner is 'fred' (not his real name) and group membership is also 'fred'.
Given this, it doesn't really surprise me that Joomla_within_Apache can't write to these directories unless the 'all users' permissions are set to 'write'.
However this is insecure.
Should all the files have group membership of e.g. www-data (which is the group for Apache on my default LAMP install under Ubuntu) to allow group permissions to be used, or is there a configuration option which tells Apache/Joomla which user to run as when accessing the files system containing all the Joomla data and configuration files?
The only user ID and password I could find was for the 'ftp' access.
TIA

Topic :
Extensions upload
Ruth,
thanks for the clarification on the role of 'ftp' - this explains a lot about the configuration and the possible problems with the behaviour.
We are currently moving between hosts so hopefully this will not be a problem on the new host.
On the problem host, all the directory permissions were 'green' but we were having other permissions problems at the file level.
Noted that the 'ftp' layer is more likely to be required under Linux - this also seems to provide an extra level of security.
Cheers
David |
