World Map link does not work
javaboy79 opened this issue · comments
The world map link from the home page does not work. The link goes to /map.php?/categories and this produces a php error because the page does not exist. However, going to the following page does work: /plugins/rv_gmaps/map.php?/categories
Hello. This file is created by the plug-in on activation. Maybe permission issues or copying files around from another installation?
I am using a docker image as the install. All other plugins seem to work fine. When I activate this plugin I do see an error flash by. I was able to capture it with a screenshot, which is difficult to post.. The pertinent information seems to be this line, indicating a permission issue. I opened the permissions on the /var/www/plugins/rv_gmaps directory to 777 just to be sure and this error still occurs.
Warning: fopen(./map.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/plugins/rv_gmaps/maintain.inc.php on line 41
Oddly, most files here (/var/www) are owned by root, but the plugins have www-data ownership. Is this normal? Perhaps that is a clue.
In fact, opening permissions on the /var/www dir allowed this plugin to activate properly. Perhaps this docker image non-standard. I'm thinking all of these files should be owned by www-data. Thoughts?
Hello javaboy79,
I had the same problem with this plugin. I solved it just changing path to main map page.
In file /plugins/rv_gmaps/include/functions.php in line 44 instead
$url = get_root_url().'map';
I wrote
$url = get_root_url().'plugins/rv_gmaps/map';
Hope, it will help you :)
And a lot of thanks to modus75!!! Great plugin!!! I use it it in my project : http://kapai.briai.ku.lt/
