Could not get data from LFS World due to an unknown problem.

Could you please copy & paste the output of your phpinfo() in here? Because this error tells that the remote access is denied, but this is normally restricted by allow_url_fopen()

I need a watch at your phpinfo (just send me this via pm)

Quote from revolucio :

"allow_url_fopen", is eanbled, not like changing it

Please, help

This is strange.. well, please try the following:

Open the file racers_online.php and go to line 118 with the following code:

Please remove the "@" inside the line.

Now go to line 122 and also remove the "@" from

This will enable you to see PHP error messages. Save the changes and upload them to your webspace. When you now open the script you should see an PHP error when calling the script. Please copy the output and paste it in here, so I can have a look at it.

Quote from revolucio :

I have a problem, the script say this error:



The website: http://www.xteam.andorhost.net ... _online/racers_online.php

First please check if your server provider allows access to external URLs for php.

To do this, create an empty php file (simply a text file), add the following content to it and rename it to "phpinfo.php"

Upload this to your webspace and open it via your browser. Look for (Ctrl+F) "allow_url_fopen". Check if this is set to be enabled (on, true, enabled or something like this) and report back

Quote from Cr45h :

News about these scripts?

I've downloaded both, but nothing works.. The online racers say that it couldn't get data from LFS World due to an unknow problem, the server.php page says that it can't connect to the server to retrieve infos.

About _data_config.php, in a certain line u say that I have to put the path of the folder, right?

But, if i host the server on my personal pc, under Winzozz, and the lfs.exe host is under, ex: g:\LFS HOST\lfs.exe I have to put the entirely path, so G:\LFS HOST\ or something different?

Thanks 4 help, and Happy New Year to all!

Cr45h

To the problem with the Server script: I think you misunderstand one point: The hostfile must be accessible via a FTP directory. So you need a FTP running on your live for speed server with the game directory (in your ex. g:\LFS HOST\) accessible via FTP. Afterwards you must configure the _data_config.php to access this FTP server (by entering the email address). The path that has to be entered is the relative path seen from the root of your FTP.
So if you configured you FTP to have g:\LFS HOST\ as root path, then you have to leave the $hostpath variable empty. if you for example configured g:\ as your ftp root, the $hostpath must be "/LFS HOST".


Regarding the RacerOnlineScript: Please check if you have a cache.txt file within the directory you run the script from. If not, check that this directory is writable for the webserver. If there is a cache.txt file, check what's written in there and how big it is. If it is much larger than some kb (eg. some MB) than we need to check this problem further, if the file is small and than some error message may be written in it.
If the file is created but is completely empty, check 2 things: Try to delete the file and create it manually, set the CHMOD to 777 (access rights writable). If this still does not help your PHP installation may block access to external URLs. This is done through the configuration variable allow_url_fopen. The script can only work if this is set to enabled. So check this within your php.ini.

So and with this, this discussion will be finished. And for this thread: back to topic

Yeah thanks Falcon, I accept of course. As you could have taken from my email to you, if you would have given me detailed information on what you would like to do, I would be able to help you.

And just once again: my mod isn't made for forum integration, as it is a stand-alone application. But as it seems that it doesn't working well for your eitherways, just contact me personally in a "clean" way, and I'll help you.

Btw: my homepage is in english, of course. But the "important" parts (e.g. for my script) are in english, too.
http://blog.gjl-network.net/bl ... ript-Update.html#extended

There you'll find also the english instructions. Nevertheless: I don't know, which version you are using, so anyways, please try downloading the newest version from the link above. If it still does not work for you, contact me again.

And now, best season's greetings to everyone and have a great peaceful time

Hell yeah -.- And sorry, I know, normally this hasn't something to do in here, but I'll get angry, if a lot of work will result in such senseless offences..

Ok, as I haven't seen this post, I'll post my statement to this also in here:

Quote from VorTeX3k :

To make one clear to everybody, I just received a mail this day (see below) that I would not provide any instructions on how to setup my script for a forum software.

Well: THIS IS A STAND-ALONE APPLICATION! I give you all instructions you need to set up the script and get it working. It is a stand-alone application to be as flexible as possible. If it would be a mod for a f... forum-software or something like this, it would only work with this single software and would need to be rewritten for every single CMS or forum software.
So, if you are too dumb, to know this and blame me for your missing knowledge on how to place a link to the script or embed it via an iframe, it is not my problem.

And I post this, because I'm not interested to get mails like this again..

Quote from Falcon140 :

You give us 2 php files and that’s it



No ****ing instructions



Nothing



U say what to edit and then upload it.



You don’t say how to put it in the forum, or how to link it to the forum



Or anything



YOU'RE A ****ING DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol.. ok, sorry, but he's a damn kiddy

He just wrote me a mail this day where didn't to anything else than blaming me, that i don't provide an exact description on how to set up my RacerOnlineScript or LFS Server Script for his forum software.. Well, where would we come to, if I would write this for every single forum software out there

Ah ok, I think I know what the problem is. Most free webspace provider disallow access to remote files. In the php.ini this is the setting allow_url_fopen which is set to allow_url_fopen = Off for most free webspace probider.
Maybe you can contact the lycos support whether they would enable this option for you.

If not, you may contact me personally (my email adress can be found within the README file) and I can host the script for you.

This error message is wrong. sorry for that, should be "error while reading from cache".

This means, that the script is not able to read from the cache. Normally, if it wouldn't be able to create the cache you would have get an error message "Could not create Cache file. Make sure the directory is writable (CHMOD 777)".

If this isn't the case, please check if there's a file named "cache.txt" within the same folder where you located the racers_online.php.

If there is NO file, check that the directory is writable (CHMOD 777).

Otherwise please locate the file and open it. Is it large or are there only some words written? It could be possible, that you have entered a wrong LFS Stats Ident Key and you get only an LFSW error within that cache file.

So check out what's in there and post it

You mean to set up the script for your members?

Open the _data_inc.php file and replace the both $driverlist lines (line 44 and 45) by this one:

There's no need for modification. You only need a webserver with PHP support. That's all.

Testing of the LFS World version which doesn't require HTTP or FTP access to your websever is in progress. If anyone else wants to participate to the testing, please just contact me by mail

An official statement from Scawen would be nice.

It's the same for me. My servers show rows of "New guest timed out" messages but without any join message or something like this. So I don't have ANY idea, why this message comes.

Nice,thats what me and a team mate were just looking for,it will sure come in handy.Im not able to test it yet,so it would be nice if someone could write here about his experience with this app.

• Define a tag for your team
  
• Uses caching for better performance and lower LFS World traffic usage
  
• Ident Key enabled
  
• Fast and secure access of LFS World even with allow_url_fopen disabled! (using cURL)
  
• Fallback mode to fopen / file_get_contents if cURL is not installed

Download:
https://sourceforge.net/projec ... 168&release_id=611640

Now have fun with it and if you have any suggestions, problems and so on, don't hesitate to contact me.

Last edited by VorTeX3k, Sun 6 Jul 2008, 14:55. Reason : Update to version 0.8.6

Sorry guys for this large delay Had a lot to do, so the progress wasn't very fast.

I'm currently still working on the lfs world version.

But to keep you all up-to-date I installed a mailing list and I advise everyone that is interested, to sign in to it:
Just write an empty mail with the subject subscribe to [email protected]

Then you'll receive all information also about beta the beta phase of the LFSW version, coming soon.

@Private[BE]: Please write me a PM regarding your problem or contact me via icq, so that I can have a further look into this problem.

I'm still waiting for proxy support :P Hopefully this will be integrated, should not be that much

My notepad work can be found in my signature, where the 2nd link should be the better choice
Vic is btw using UltraEdit for coding the LFS websites, iirc.

Yepp, UltraEdit is very nice for editing web sites but not for free. A good free alternative is Notepad++..
I more and more start prefering this before UltraEdit.

btw: VERY nice and well programmed

I have a girlfriend, but it isn't always easy to combining both, computer and girlfriend But as far as I am racing events she is happy and watches the whole race over my shoulder..

Stop discussing guys.. The site is simply not valid (neither HTML nor CSS) because it is Dreamweaver "coded" (= built / created).

Quote from kiss me :

instead of html and css,
why not php and css?
php is a bit harder but way more options... just a suggestion

[ ] You know that PHP is not a replacement of HTML
[X] You think that PHP replaces HTML and does not require HTML Code

Think about your sentence. PHP is simply to "generate" HTML code. In any case you'll have to use HTML. Except you want the user to see a blank page though.

Quote from lawdog :

Revert back to XP!? You mean you installed a Beta OS (from Microsoft!) over the top of XP, instead of setting it up on a partition or separate drive as dual boot?

You're a brave man.

Anyway, I'm going to give Vista a go later this week. I'll report back on how it works with my sound (Realtek 5.1 audio integrated on an ASUS mobo). I'm sure Scawen probably has a copy of Vista beta, but if we can identify any issues that the game might have with Vista under various configs here, it might be useful.(and, hey, even if it isn't, we'll still be wasting less bandwidth than people posting attachments of various drift skins created in MS Paint).

Vista does not currently work properly with dual boot I tried, it failed, I removed Vista Seems to be a common problem to do dual boot with Vista and XP installed on seperate hard disks. On one using seperate partitions seems to work. Didn't tried that, yet.
