Hello,
Most of you who attended the PLUG yesterday may be aware that Mark (from
More-Solutions) went to great lengths to resolve several issues I had both with
my work-station and my projects.
The major problem I had (and it is definitely worth mentioning) is that I am
running a LAMP server with ISPConfig, Virtual Hosts & Joomla web-sites. On one
particular web-site, having successfully installed Joomla and several
components, I tried to embed the Gallery2 component into my Joomla site without
luck. It kept failing when I tried to run a wizard to integrate Gallery2 using
the Gallery 2 bridge. Below is how Mark solved the problem (for the information
of anyone who tries to do the same).
Mark looked at the code in the file www.example.com/gallery/embed.php (or
whichever directory your embed.php file is in). After a lot of poking around,
he discovered that the process used by the 'wizard' performs a 'security check'
to ensure that the embeded gallery2 application is on the same server as your
Joomla installation.
When 'embed.php' calls for the security check, because of your configuration it
reports/returns values for both the IP addresses of both your external IP
address and your virtual IP address which are actually different so the
'security check' fails & returns the error message that I am (and probably you
may be) receiving.
The Solution
He edited the ../gallery2/embed.php file as follows.
Near the end of this file is the line below which appears in bold : -
$remotehost = !empty($remotehost) ? gethostbyname($remotehost) : '';
$localhost = GalleryUtilities::getServerVar('HTTP_HOST');
$localhost = !empty($localhost) ? gethostbyname($localhost) :
'127.0.0.1';
if ((!empty($remotehost) && $remotehost == $localhost))
if (defined('GALLERY_CONFIG_DIR')) {
/* GALLERY_CONFIG_DIR is multisite-aware */
header('X-G2-EMBED-PATH: ' . GALLERY_CONFIG_DIR .
'/embed.php');
} else {
/* Fallback if G2 isn't installed yet */
header('X-G2-EMBED-PATH: ' . __FILE__ );
}
}
}
}
?>
Change it to : -
if (TRUE || (!empty($remotehost) && $remotehost == $localhost)) {
Then run the 'wizard'. It will successfully go to 'Stage 2'. Complete the
'wizard' then change the ../gallery2/embed.php file back to it's original
state.
The other plugins should now also work.
I hope this helps.
There are times when we owe it to ourselves and to the ones around us to share
what we know and feel. And there are times when we simply have nothing to
offer, and best serve everyone by saying nothing. Perhaps the wisdom comes in
being able to recognize the difference. Peace, Eron
