ELGG - Problems

[wesleyw]

Having copied the software over and made changes to the files as dictated by the install instructions I am getting the following error:

 

Warning: file_get_contents(http://ex.plode.us/mod/searchping/elggping.php?pingtype=registernew&url=https%3A%2F%2Fextranet.qmgs.walsall.sch.uk%2Felgg%2F&profileurl=https%3A%2F%2Fextranet.qmgs.walsall.sch.uk%2Felgg%2F%25username%25&name=+-+E-Portfolios&rssurl=https%3A%2F%2Fintranet.aschool.anlea.sch.uk%2Felgg%2F%25username%25%2Frss&foafurl=https%3A%2F%2Fintranet.aschool.anlea.sch.uk%2Felgg%2F%25username%25%2Ffoaf) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Connection refused in /usr/export/home/www/elgg/mod/explodeping/lib.php on line 33

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in /usr/export/home/www/elgg/lib/php-getttext/gettext.inc on line 101

 

 

 

 

If needs be I can post the .htaccess and config.php files?

What base OS

Let me know that and I can have a better idea

[linescanner]

You got any extra modules running ?

[wesleyw]

Not that I know too?

 

I setup the db just now and then copied the files from the zip folder changed the files .htaccess and config.php to how they said in the instructions now I'm stuck?

has php been compiled with mbstring ?

 

#php -m | grep mbstring

 

As for the first error try and remove the expoldeping folder from mods. Put it somewhere outside the mods folder

[wesleyw]

Nothing comes up when php -m | grep mbstring is typed in.

 

I'll just make sure its not compiled and let you know!

 

....Nope not installed is there a way of just removing this out of the commands?

 

I removed that folder and that has removed the warning thanks!

You need to have php compiled with mbstring.

 

--enable-mbstring as an option if building from source.

 

The explodeping thing is that your network is not allowing the module to connect to the outside

[linescanner]

I am not a NetBSD guy but php5-mbstring may be an addition package to install.
