how to install google tap?

Nuke Soldier Joined: Jun 20, 2003 Posts: 17

I downloaded google tap 0.6 and uncompressed it, but there was no installation instructions to be found.

I can see folders Nuke5.x, Nuke6.x, and files beta and credits. I use WinRAR program.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, you can take a look at the files, and it'll tell you in them what to look for and what to do. After the server move, the next release will cover it better.

Hi Zhen,

Thanks for your reply. I looked at all files and read the instructions. The problem is that I am not a programmer and need some kind of "a guide for idiots" to get things done right.

I find this in the "footer.txt" but am not sure which lines the "block" mean.

Quote:

Directions: Find the "foot();" function call near the end of the document and
replace it with the following block:

$contents = ob_get_contents(); // store buffer in $contents
ob_end_clean(); // delete output buffer and stop buffering
echo replace_for_mod_rewrite($contents); //display modified buffer to screen

foot();

This is the original function block, which lines do I need to replace?

Quote:

I am also confused

on the ".htaccess" file.

Quote:

#Directions: rename this file to ".htaccess" without quotes.

Question - which directory do I upload this file to?

About the "block_old_articles" - do I just upload it into the "blocks" folder?

Appreciate your help!

You rename it, instead of htacces.txt it will be .htaccess (without the .txt)

Into the blocks folder I think....

Well, it seems like everyone else knows how to install google tap. Can some one with successful experience share some advice and tips here?

When is the next release of googletap? I do hope it will have more detailed installation instructions.

Hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum so I am not sure if this is the correct place to post such a note.

I installed the GoogleTap for PHP Nuke 6.0 and had noticed that I was NOT able to access my sub-domain after wards. For example, my domain name is www.siamcomm.com and I have a customer that uses a sub-domain mpass.siamcomm.com. After installing the GoogleTap, the mpass sub-domain returns a 404 error.

I also find the version of the Google Tap for 6.5 to be vague in the installation procedures. As I do not remember the complete procedures for the version for 6.0, is it possible to get something more complete for 6.5?

Thanks in advance for your help.

For subdomain you need something like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} beta.nukecops.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !betaNC/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ betaNC/$1 [L]

OK ... so just to make sure I understand this, let me make sure I fill in the correct values for my server:

http://www.siamcomm.com - Primary web domain
http://mpass.siamcomm.com - MPass sub-domain

I update the .htaccess file in the Primary web domain to read:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mpass.siamcomm.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !mpass/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mpass/$1 [L]

Is this correct?

Thx, erbuc

If you haven't had any luck installing Google Tap Beta 0.6.5 it's probably because part of the .htaccess file is missing. I installed 0.6.0 a while back and it worked great. However, when I upgraded to 0.6.5 last night, I was met by a blank screen when I went to my site.

This code is missing at the top of 'htaccess' in version 0.6.5:

Code:

</FilesMatch>

<Limit GET PUT POST>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Limit>

RewriteEngine on

The rest of it should be fairly simple. It's just a matter of copy 'n' pasting some code...

You got it! I would add a couple of lines though...

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mpass.siamcomm.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !mpass/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mpass/$1 [L]

Try it both ways and see what happens. If your server is configured correctly, you won't need those extra lines. If it craters with a 500 error, add them...

A fully working copy can be obtained from the cvs tree.

Hi Guys,

I have downloaded the latest .htaccess from the CVS and added the lines noted above (VinDSLs post).

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mpass.siamcomm.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !mpass/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mpass/$1 [L]

When I try to access http://mpass.siamcomm.com I get a 404 error, file not found.

I have no problem accessing http://www.siamcomm.com

Any other suggestions?

Does that link work with no .htaccess file present?

Corporal Joined: Apr 17, 2003 Posts: 65

Yes ... good question ... the link does work with no .htaccess file in it. After I deleted it, I uploaded the file again and now get a slightly different error ... not sure why ... but it may shed some more light on the problem.

Quote:

Not Found
The requested URL /mpass/mpass/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I don't understand why it's pointing to "/mpass/mpass/" with the entries in the *.htaccess file as noted above.

Thanks so far for all the help.
