Scoops from wintin the installed drigg site

Posted July 18th, 2008 by rareimagery

I'm trying to let my user's post there blogs as scoops. Every time I try to post from within the drigg site I get story url not functioning. Posting scoops from outside the install works fine. Is there any work around I do to get this working? Thank you so much for all your work what you done is really amazing.

Still having a problem

Thanks for all you help. I have tried a lot of things to get this issue fixed and what I discovered is that if I use the express install I can submit a blog from within the site, and I noticed the URLs don't turn red when you submit other links. Using the longer install method gives me the issue of not being able to scoop the sites blogs. I can telnet to the site so it's not a server issue. Any idea on what may be causing this?

Thanks,
Bob

Solution?

On August 21st, 2008 admin said:

Hi,

Please have a look at the file drigg/BUILD.txt in drigg-distr.tgz.
Have a look at the HANDY PATCHES: section. Is that the solution to your problem?

From your other post...

Hi,

From your other post, I can see that your server is on:

get420.com

Which URL are you trying to submit specifically? Are you putting in straight URLs, or things that get redirected?

Which server are you using?

Hi,

Which web server are you using? What's your server's URL?

Merc.

I posted this before (sorry for the duplicate)

The web server is from Media Temple it's a DV that I have complete control over. It's a LAMP server. The URL is get420.com. I found in the node-drigg.tpl..php that it can be configured to post an internal source, I'm wonder how to configure that.

I would like my users to scoop there blogs from within get420.com and also from external sources like cnn.com (the external source works great).

Thanks,
bob

Once again...

Hi,

I will repeat myself here... from my previous post:

Please let me know.

Using the straight url

On July 25th, 2008 rareimagery said:

I'm using the straight URL from the blog entry. For instance:
Submit URL
http://get420.com/submit
Blog URL
http://get420.com/node/29
and this is displayed:
Story's URL: The URL is not functioning!

This works fine, same server, different url.

I have tried using /node/29, using pathauto and any other configuration I can think of.

I don't get it...

Hi,

I don't get it. If you try and subit:

http://get420.com/node/29

To drigg.org, it works. Is your site able to reach _itself_?
That is, if you do:

telnet get420.com 80

From the *server itself*, are you able to reach it?
It smells like a configuration error on your server...

Found the problem, just need the solution

On August 23rd, 2008 rareimagery said:

When I try to submit a story from within the drigg it grabs var/www/html/blog. It should go to either the http or the full server path.

[Sat Aug 23 14:10:34 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/blog

So it appears perhaps your application is trying to access "/blog/" from the root URL instead of the site URL. Hopefully this will clear things up!

Where do I go to fix this? I'm sure I messed this up somewhere.

Thank you so much for your help

I am using the drigg express install and that doesn't work now. So I'm sure it's some configuration I missed somewhere.

Serverr config error

Hi,

It looks like you have a configuration error on your server. Drigg doesn't even get to get activated -- your Apache is snatching the page.
