IIS 6 on Windows 2003 PHP 4.4.2 ISAPI MySQL 4.0.26 Joomla 1.08 SMF 1.1RC1 browser IE 6.02 I have tried to install com_joomla_smf_1_1.zip both RC1 and RC2. The first part fo the install works fine. When I try to connect to the menu item for the configuration I get a page not found error. As I tried to re-install, I assumed that there were now multiple records written to the db. I deleted "excess" com_smf rows from jos_menu and jos_modules which indicated abortive installations. It seems like some data needs to be written to administrator/index2, but without adequate documentation on the remainder of the install, I am pretty much stuck. Please help.

after install you must go into the component's configuration screen and perform additional tasks.
Yes, that is the problem. When I try to access the page which displays the additional configuration, via clicking through administrator - componenets - Joomla-smf - Configuration I receive a page not displayed error. I am hoping there is some sort of manual install option, similar to the provided manual method for installing joomla. Yes, I have show friendly http error messages off in IE 6. I believe that the problem begins at index2.php?option=com_smf, although I cannot be sure since the documentation and remarks in the code are spotty at best. I can't find any area in index2.php code where passing these variables (option=com_smf) would result in successful action - I am wondering if index2. was uspposed to be modified during the component install process, but this did not work due to me being on a Windows system. No error code is displayed - the page index2.php simply does not load. Documentation would be very useful in trying to resolve this myself, although I appreciate your help in whatever way is available.
First thing, and I just noticed this, the bridge isn't compatible with SMF 1.1RC1. So try upgrading to SMF 1.1RC2 and then uninstall the bridge and install the latest version(get it here). Lemme know if you still have problems.
Same problem/problem still occurs. I reinstalled both SMF 1.1.RC2 and Joomla 1.08 and am still experiencing this. I hope this is not PEBKAC or something not right with my PHP install. I noticed on the Joomla reinstall that session.save_path = C:/Inetpub/temp in phph.ini is not being processed correctly. Since I haven't had any other problems with PHP or with SMF/Joomla I have not fixed this. I also noticed that inside /components/com_smf there are only a few files - not all the files contained in the .zip. It seems like all the files should have been extracted from the zip and placed in this directory. Ah, if only I had some documentation . . . Thanks Wolverine!
components/com_smf should only have smf.php and an index.html(ignore the images dir). This directory, administrator/components/com_smf, should have the rest of the files.
Dunno, but being the type of person I am, I blame Bill Gates and IIS! Wish I could help, but I am at a loss. You're the first that has reported this.
To config manually you can go into administrator/components/com_smf and try to hack your way through the config.smf.php file. I DO NOT recommend this unless there is no other option. Use 1 for true on the options and 0 for false(I know, obvious, but need to make sure). Don't leave any of them blank. To determine what a certain setting is doing you can coordinate that setting with the line in admin.smf.php and then correspond the language reference to languages/english.php. Here is an example of a completed config.smf.php:
Code:
<?php global $smf_path, $smf_redirect, $bln_smf_redirect, $smf_prefix, $mos_prefix, $wrapped, $hideemail, $cbprofile, $registration_module, $mosurl; $smf_path = "/home/testsite/public_html/forum"; $smf_redirect = 0; $bln_joomla_redirect = 0; $mos_prefix = "jos_"; $smf_prefix = "smf_"; $wrapped = 1; $hideemail = 1; $cbprofile = 0; $registration_module = "joomla"; $mosurl = "http://my.testsite.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=33&"; //The following are used for the syndication feed $announce_url = "http://www.joomlahacks.com/news/mh_announcement.rdf"; $news_url = "http://www.joomlahacks.com/index2.php?option=com_rss&feed=RSS1.0&no_html=ss1"; $latest_joomlasmf_url = "http://www.joomlahacks.com/news/mh_mambo_smf_update.rdf"; ?>
Two more things I thought of... perms on administrator/components/com_smf? Are they correct? And also, IIS is crazy about file extensions, I wonder if the *.smf.php needs to be config'd in the mime types(would be crazy, but I've seen worse with microsuck). Any IIS gurus care to comment?
I ruled out the IIS extensions. Made a couple of test files with .class.php and .smf.php endings - no problems running these.
By modifying config.smf.php I was able now to get: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Inetpub\asmpc\joomla\administrator\components\com_smf\config.smf.php on line 7 Line 7 is "jos_" which is the correct prefix.
I've now tried this on 3 separate IIS installations, and it does not work on any of them, so I believe you should notify other users that this is not supported under IIS. It does work on Windows under Apache. Unfortunately, in my situation I need to support exisitng ASP and .NET code.' Unless you have other ideas about how to resolve this . . . it makes sense to give potential users the truth about the component.
