Very weird problem

[alleymize]

I have one domain with the calendar working correctly. I have a second domain on a different server that I have installed the calendar and have everything setup. I am using the first domains calendar database to control the second domains. (I have the second license installed no problems.)

I can do all the customizing and such in the admin but when I embed the calendar in a page on the second domain, the place the calendar should be is a large blank area and it even removes some of my other content.

I am using version 6.4.2

I can go to the event manager area in the admin to enter date items on the second domain and can see all the content from the remote database inserted for dates and even see the three calendars.

When I try to view the calendar/demo.php I get a 502 server error page.

Please help.

That would be because the require() is failing, hence your page stops loading. Confirm the path that you're using in your integrated page.

If you want to try it out without causing your page to stop loading, use "include()" instead of "require()". Note: This should only be done for testing.

If the path is all correct, then something else is failing. You did confirm the server was compatible by running the Tester, right?

[alleymize]

Yes I did run the tester with no problems.

I have changed the require to include and the page loads properly but still missing the calendar, just the space where it should be and I now get this error at the top of the page:


Warning: include(/calendar/calendar.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\inetpub\vhosts\lma-eap.com\httpdocs\crisis_management.php on line 31

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/calendar/calendar.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;./includes;./pear') in C:\inetpub\vhosts\lma-eap.com\httpdocs\crisis_management.php on line 31

And the calendar.php is off the root in the calendar folder.

I just tried to remove the first slash from the include so it is now calendar/calendar.php and the page now loads properly and their is no errors at the top but still there is no calendar.

[alleymize]

Any help anyone???? I still have no calendar on the second domain just an empty space.

Has the 500 error gone away? If not, you'll need to determine why you're getting this error.

[alleymize]

No it has not on the demo.php page but I can see the calendars working no problem in the event manager in the admin.

[Brian]

You may have some kind of permissions issue on the server. A 500 error should be logged by the server. Check the server error log to see what the error is.

[alleymize]

I have talked with the server people and they can not figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

[alleymize]

JUst checking but I have version 6.4.2 Does it work with PHP version 5.2.17?

[ve9gra]

Open up calendar/calendar.php and give me the values that are entered for $URLPath and $ServerPath.

The reason you're getting (the 502) is likely caused by having misconfigured the calendar. It seems like your server tries to load data from an upstream server... In a regular setup of the calendar, this should never happen.

The reason why I'm pointing the finger at calendar.php is because your Event Manager and Setup Manager both work... but nothing on the 'public' side works... And everything that is 'public' loads calendar.php first. It's just the common denominator in your problem equation

[alleymize]

These values were created by the setup program. As stated above, I do have everything setup on this domain but using the database from another domain, is that the problem you are talking about.

$serverPath="C:/inetpub/vhosts/lma-eap.com/httpdocs/calendar/";

$urlPath="/calendar/";

And all the calendar files are in a folder called calendar on the root of my domain

[ve9gra]

No, if there was a problem with using a different database, then the Event Manager would not work.

One thing to note: you may end up running into problems if your website uses a database for content. Depending on the configuration of your website, it's possible that integrating the calendar will break your connection to your content database, redirecting the queries for content to the calendar database.

Those paths look correct.

Looks like I may have just blown my original theory out of the water... calendar.php does run correctly. Or at least it does for the $CSS and $OL lines.

Doing a bit of Google searching brought up several threads about IIS producing 502 errors while having PHP configured as a CGI application. If you have the option to do so, can you configure PHP as an ISAPI extension instead?

That is but one of many possible solutions... but none are related to the calendar and all with how PHP is configured to run in IIS.

[ve9gra]

As an alternative solution, you may want to simply display your other domain's calendar in an iframe on this domain.

[alleymize]

I actually have the calendar positioned via css, how would I go about doing the iframe if that would work.

I know how to create an iframe but how to include the calendar is the code I am unsure of.

[ve9gra]

On your other domain, you're going to create an "empty" HTML page with only the calendar. In fact, you can use demo page as a test. Then point to that page with your iframe.

And you should still be able to have the iframe inside of your div for positioning. [ref]

[alleymize]

Ok I tried the ASAPI and it broke everything so I put it back.

I have the iframe idea working perfectly except when you hover over the event the popup is staying inside the frame and not being fully seen. If it weren't for that it would work perfect. Any ideas on it?

[Brian]

That's a limitation of using an iFrame. You should use the on-click pop-ups instead.

[alleymize]

I actually use both but maybe on this site to get around this problem we just have the on click. I was trying to make it work by making a huge iframe transparent back and zindex but then other items are not clickable.

[alleymize]

Thanks for all your help and I have successfully installed and have it working without the hover coming up but just the clicking version and the client likes it. Thanks again for all your help and expertise.
