Followed the instructions to install the new forum add-on:

Unzipped (outside of Unity project folder) and uploaded the "forum" folder to my server in the "addons" sub-folder.
Ran the sql command on my combo database and it completed without any errors and I can see the new CB_FORUM_* tables

===

When I try and access any of the new forum links from the admin page I get this error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

 

I'm running the latest release v2.1.8
PM me and I'll send you the admin url if it will help.

Thanks

You probably need v2.1.9 (uploading now, visit Purchase History in 10 minutes), I implemented some optimizations in code to better handle addons.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I will check this issue out at Monday, it should be some easy to fix since we have already a couple of clients using this new addon.

mmh.. pretty strange, I tried a fresh installation of Combu 2.1.9+Forum and have no issues at all, I'll check your PM.

EDIT: MeachWare I found your issue: it's because you have probably "/combu/" as URL_ROOT in your config.php, but it seems that you installed Combu in the root folder of your webserver so it should have been "/". In fact if you try to open the forum links and then remove "/combu" from the URL, it works (well, works if you keep editing the URL). So assign "/" to URL_ROOT in your config.php and it should be solved (though I really suggest to install Combu in its own folder, not in the root, because the names of webservices are really generic and in a root of a website these names could be easily used for something better than your game webservice, unless the domain/server is only used or configured to run Combu).

THANK YOU!!!

I can CONFIRM that was the exact problem and the forum admin page links now work smile

For ref:
//define ("URL_ROOT", "/combu/"); <-old/wrong for my server
define ("URL_ROOT", "/"); //<- new working!!

What's your issue?  

I had a similar issue to the above, and I was able to fix it the same basic way. The problem was a "not found" when trying to access the Forum from the Admin Console in the browser.

First, some background ...

When I first installed Combu to use locally with XAMPP, I'm not sure if I did it right or not, but I had to remove the "/ws" from the URL root stage in the Combu Manager script in my Unity editor in order to get the demo scene to work.

Then when I first installed the Forum add-on, I was running into a problem where I could run the Admin Console in my browser and it would find all the basic Combu functions properly (like Home, Settings, Admin, etc.), but when I would move to the Forum functions below, it would say "not found" because it was looking for it at "/ws/combu" instead of just "/combu".

So where I needed to make my change was in the xampp/htdocs/combu/lib/config.php file mentioned above, changing the URL_ROOT at the top of the file from "/ws/combu/" to just "/combu/".

Now it looks like it's working and I can proceed to check out the Forum functions. 🙂

I also picked up the other two Combu add-ons, encouraged by your SUMMER2016 sale, so before long I'll set about installing those as well.

Thanks!
