Apache is running as nobody.

Virtual Host configuration:

<VirtualHost *:8000>

Allow from all

ErrorLog /wwwroot/logs/mambo.local-error_log
CustomLog /wwwroot/logs/mambo.local-access_log common
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

.htaccess file is mambo standard file with one extra line:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

AddDefaultCharset windows-1251

«Patch mambo index.php file» link gives following error:

Quote

Failed: Mambo main path or index.php is not writeable!

upd
Problem is with the apache configuration not the mos-smf bridge. Sorry for disturbance.

Back to Mambo and here is the solution:

1. Open <mambodir>/administrator/components/com_smf/functions.smf.php.
2. Search for function patchMamboIndexFile().
3. Search for "\$mainframe->login();"; into that function.
4. Replace it with "\$mainframe->login()";.

Explanation:

Quote from: MamboV4.5.2.3-stable

if ($option == "login") {
$mainframe->login();
…

Quote from: MamboV4.5.3-beta

if ($option == 'login') {
   if (!$mainframe->login()) {
      $mainframe->logout();
      mosErrorAlert( $_LANG->_( 'LOGIN_INCORRECT' ) );
…

----------------

5. Search for:

Code:

if ($option == 'login') {
// Log in
if (!
//MAMBOHACKS.COM
require_once ($mosConfig_absolute_path."/components/com_smf/smf.php");
doMamboSMF();

$mainframe->login()) {
$mainframe->logout();

6. Replace with:

Code:

if ($option == 'login') {
// Log in
//MAMBOHACKS.COM
require_once ($mosConfig_absolute_path."/components/com_smf/smf.php");
doMamboSMF();
if (!$mainframe->login()) {
$mainframe->logout();

PS: Still testing though.
