Upgrade vShare 2.5 to vShare 2.6

[Foxxy]

Ok, I got that problem solved. For some reason I got the crazy idea to restart my dsl modem. I have absolutely no idea what that had to do with it, but my guess is that my cache was not completely cleared until I did this. How bizarre.

Anyway, it's all good now. Thanks for taking the time to help buyscripts.

Isn't that crazy? Sometimes I'll try to move or rename a file on my local drive and the computer thinks it's still being used by the last thing I used to look at it and it won't let me rename it, so I have to reboot my computer.

Good thing there's no law against whacking your computer around a bit.

heh heh. I've often thought about reclaiming the gold from my computer and tossing the rest in the garbage, but then I realize how much work that would actually be. :D

I have a small issue with the invite_friend.tpl (maybe an old issue?)

<h2>Welcome to {$site_name}, {$username}!</h2>

That is from the portion that comes up when someone registers an account. It doesn't seem to display the user name for some reason. Anyone have a fix for this?


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

Added Note:

I've also noticed that when I click on a particular tag and am taken to mysite.com/tag/whatever/ the related tags that it lists at the top of the page are still the old tag format. Is there a code change I can do to make these cloud tags like in the channels?

[grynmoors]

The cloud thing is a mystery to me. But the code for it is in the "type"...look for

type='cloud'

. I don't recall off the top of my head what page that's on (probably the tag.tpl).

My guess is that if you copy the code that drives it on the right.tpl and poke it into the tag.tpl or whatever (maybe it's the other way around, I can't remember) it'll work.

I don't know why and I can't explain it...sometimes I see the cloud working correctly and other times it looks like the old format. I use FireFox.

Hi,
I asked my Web host to upgrade to PHP5 and then I got logged out of vShare and could not log in until I was reverted to PHP4. I see the info that certain new features are available only in php5, so how do I fix the problem?

Thanks.

To use php5 (at least with my webhost) you need to copy everything you have in .htaccess into a file called php.ini except anywhere it says php_value in the htaccess, you just erase those words.

Here's an example of an .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on No
</IfModule>


php_value upload_max_filesize 100M 
php_value post_max_size 100M 
php_value output_buffering on 
php_value max_execution_time 1000 
php_value max_input_time 1000 
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 14400 

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off

Here's the same thing, but in php.ini (for php5)

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on No
</IfModule>


upload_max_filesize 100M 
post_max_size 100M 
output_buffering on 
max_execution_time 1000 
max_input_time 1000 
session.gc_maxlifetime 14400 

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off

You might have to add "register_ globals off" or "register_globals on" to it (I had to do that with one script to be able to log in---not vshare but something else). You can't use the new features of vShare without PHP5.

One thing I have noticed is that my site has slowed down considerably after upgrading to 2.6. It is becoming too common for videos to have to 'pause' and catch up in the middle of play. I can only imagine how annoying it is to visitors. At first I thought it may be a hosting issue, but another site I am running (2.5) on the same host does not have this problem, and it did only start when I made the upgrade to 2.6. I am not ready to completely rule out the host as a cause, but it also looks like maybe it's the script.

Did anyone else notice their site slow down after upgrading to 2.6?

Thanks grynmoors. I'll give it a try.

I did actually, but I attributed it to more people using my site.... But yeah, I've seen significant slowdown lately. Even videos encoded at half my download speed seem to need to be buffered now, when they didn't before. Again I just thought that it had to do with my site getting more traffic. I'm mentioning it here in case that's not the reason :)

I upgrade 2.5 to 2.6 succesfully, users can upload video from theirs pc, but they can't upload an other server , gives error (Video Upload failed. try again)

And I add youtube link in admin panel, but not start video conversion, gives error (/home/.sonta/videooo/bin/ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.51: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) . Video doesn't download.

Thanks for reply
