Hi Charles,

I tried to log on to wiki to add something and I got the following error:

exception 'Exception' with message 'Path to phpBB install is not valid.' in /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/extensions/Auth_phpBB.php:649 Stack trace: #0 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/extensions/Auth_phpBB.php(919): Auth_phpBB->loadPHPFiles('UTF8') #1 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/extensions/Auth_phpBB.php(497): Auth_phpBB->utf8('Mlightheart') #2 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/User.php(549): Auth_phpBB->getCanonicalName('Mlightheart') #3 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/User.php(246): User::getCanonicalName('mlightheart', 'valid') #4 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(349): User::newFromName('mlightheart') #5 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(425): LoginForm->authenticateUserData() #6 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(100): LoginForm->processLogin() #7 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php(17): LoginForm->execute() #8 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/SpecialPage.php(653): wfSpecialUserlogin(NULL, Object(SpecialPage)) #9 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/SpecialPage.php(459): SpecialPage->execute(NULL) #10 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/Wiki.php(201): SpecialPage::executePath(Object(Title)) #11 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/includes/Wiki.php(45): MediaWiki->initializeSpecialCases(Object(Title), Object(OutputPage), Object(WebRequest)) #12 /home/allchile/public_html/chilewiki/index.php(89): MediaWiki->initialize(Object(Title), Object(OutputPage), Object(User), Object(WebRequest)) #13 {main}

I continue to have two problems, each very possibly attributable to my poco knowledge of matters computer.

First, clicking a link embedded in an AllChilean's posting still results in leaving the forum and going directly to the new website; on the old 'site, clicking such a link opened a new window, allowing the viewer to maintain a presence in the forum while looking at the linked-to website. This is not a great problem, as I do know enough to right-click, then choose "Open Link in New Window"; but it is an inconvenience.

Second, and more important, the board seems often to be down or unavailable to me. Perhaps this is attributable to our maestro de obras's continuing to refine the new home. If not, though, I'd be glad to know what I (or others) can do to remedy the problem. As a wage-slave (well, not exactly, as I am self-employed), I catch what opportunity I might use to come to view this 'site; if I'm blocked from reading in the forum because it's unavailable, I have even less time to view it.

Forgive my tone, Charles: I don't intend a complaint, merely a pair of concerns. Again, you've done a smashingly good job!

Three times I have had to reset my IP (I use Telefonica/Terra) because SpamHous blocks the IP or IP block.

Any other Chile based allchile users with the same issue?

i'm currently using terra and dont seem to have the same problem..

Thie happens after I've been on a connection with the same or same block IP for a day or more and I try to post here:

Your IP 201.xxx.xx.xxx has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=201.xxx.xx.xxx

Further explanation:

IP Address Lookup

201.246.67.158 is not listed in the SBL

201.246.67.158 is listed in the PBL, in the following records:

* PBL066339

201.246.67.158 is listed in the XBL, because it appears in:

* NJABL (proxies)

The solution to those who encounter it is to reset your connection to a new IP address until you can post again.

EEUU,

The same thing happened to me on Feb 19. I tried to post something and got the following message. I am using telephonica.


Your IP 200.xxx.xxx.xxx has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=200.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Dear Charles,

A bug to be killed: when trying to reach the last posting in a particular thread through pressing the small image of a page next to the last poster's name, I frequently reach not that last posting but an "error message" instead.

For example, in trying a few minutes ago to reach the last posting in the thread you began on "The State of the States", I was directed to a page with only this text:

"Not Found
The requested URL /chileforum/topic1316.html&p=9020 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

With hope that the problem can be resolved,

RWS
