Add-on Install & Upgrade 1.4.3

You also need to make sure that all your directories and files have write permission for the group that the HTTP server runs under.
for the files

find /directory/path/to/files -type f -name '*' -exec chmod 664 {} \;

for the directories

cd /path/to/your/files
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 775

Do I have to change anything other than the folder path? I'm still getting the same error.

 

[TPerry]

There are some things that could cause issues (like if you are running any software security that controls permissions and changes them). You may also need to restart your HTTP server.

I'm not sure if I have a security software. I think only fail2ban. I only have httpd, is it the same with http?

 

[TPerry]

HTTP is the protocol... httpd is probably Apache executable.

I have nginx:nginx as user. Should I use this line as well? find /directory/path/to/files -type f -name '*' -exec chmod 664 {} \;

 

[TPerry]

That one does all the individual files to permissions for the HTTP group also... I do it on my sites typically, especially if I've manually copied files over under my user account and then changed the ownership of them with the chown process.

I just got the strangest error, so I searched here for it and found hits in this thread

The error I got when trying to install an addon was "Only proper Resource Manager URLs are valid"

The problem is, I wasn't installing from a RM URL. I was installing from Old School.

Just before I tried this with the addon in question (User Banner Groups), I had:

1) Upgraded from XF 1.4.6 to 1.4.7
2) Installed the addon Forum Backup

Nothing else. When I installed Forum Backup, it let me do this from the Zip file link option, no problem. When I tried to install UBG using the Zip file option, it would think for a second and then just spit me out to the Installed Add-Ons page. So I thought Hmmmm...something isn't right.

So then I uploaded the files and tried Old school, that's when I got the error. I have nothing typed into the RM URL fields.

I disabled the Install & Upgrade addon, and I was able to manually install the UBG addon.

Weird issue.

Up until now I have never had an issue updating addons but now for some reason it is saying:
"Login to XenForo.com has failed. Make sure you login with your XenForo username and password."

After I hit install update.

My credentials are entered and are correct.

 

[rdn]

Same:

Login to XenForo.com has failed. Make sure you login with your XenForo username and password.

Same, just happen today.
Maybe the switch to Nginx on XenForo affect this.

 

[Stephan Whelan]

Yup - i'm seeing the same issue as well.

 

[XxUnkn0wnxX]

ya i am seeing this to and i am on normal apache.... Login to XenForo.com has failed. Make sure you login with your XenForo username and password.

i haven't updated my site in months just hopped on and this happen

plezz fix asap

Waindigo's updater works fine.. but this one broke

 

[Xon]

This addon is attempting to login via http, and since xenforo.com has moved from using apache to nginx to configuration has broken how the redirection used to work.

I've submitted a fix to @Chris D (which does include some other changes)

 

[Chris D]

Chris D updated Add-on Install & Upgrade with a new update entry:

Fix login bug, plus some minor improvements

This release is purely down to the hard work of @Xon. Thank you for working on this.

This update fixes the recent issue brought around by XF.com's move to nginx (and the much older move to https).

There are some other minor improvements moving to use things like template modifications rather than template hooks.

Everyone say thank you @Xon

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[Kirk]

Thank you @Xon

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

High time to put it up on github?

 

[Chris D]

I dunno. It's some of the oldest code I've written so it's not something I'm particularly proud of

At some point I was going to rewrite the entire thing with some new features. I think certainly the current code wouldn't allow much additional expansion without some radical changes.

@Xon has expressed some interest in expanding upon this.

If Xon wishes to do that in a collaborative fashion via GitHub, I have no problem with that, though I'll leave that decision somewhat up to him.

 

[Xon]

I'ld prefer a collaborative fashion via GitHub, I've got all my free addons hosted on there.

But I can't offer any promises on timeframe for improvements, as my day job is a full-time software developer which tends to leave both little time and little motivation for hobby programming.
