Plugins & Styles not installing or working properly

[MrApples]

I have been unable to fully install a style or plugin, the page which shows the progress usually dies after the first message.

"Reorder Styles" also dies immediately. It happens with both uploaded and local XMLs.

Server
Server: Linux
Web Server: Lighttpd / cgi-fcgi
PHP: 5.2.1
Max Post Size: 8MB
Maximum Upload Size: 2MB
Memory Limit: 32MB
MySQL Version: 5.0.45

Using XCACHE

Plugins
vbSEO ( partially installed due to problem )
vbOptimise
vbAdvanced
vbBlog

I imagine this is a permissions issue, or a problematic database table, could anyone point me in the right direction.

Run this and report back the results:

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Problematic Webserver Modules

I should've mentioned that as well - I am running Lighttpd with PHP under FastCGI.

Hello there apples long time no see

Do you have mod_security enabled? This interferes with any ajax going on.

Add this to your .htaccess file


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

[MrApples]

You quote me, yet you give a irrelevant suggestion...

Modules running
- mod_rewrite
- mod_redirect
- mod_alias
- mod_access
- mod_auth
- mod_status
- mod_setenv
- mod_fastcgi
- mod_webdav
- mod_simple_vhost
- mod_evhost
- mod_userdir
- mod_cgi
- mod_compress
- mod_ssi
- mod_accesslog

If AJAX is the only issue associated though, then it runs fine, as I happen to be working on a chat.

Please follow the instructions in post #2 and report the results so we can help.

[MrApples]

It reported No on both mod_security and suhosin, considering I am running Lighttpd with PHP under FastCGI I thought that was given. ( was thinking of suPHP )

Remove vBOptimize. It caches things that vBulletin hasn't been designed to cache and can cause problems like this.

Thank you, that was the problem.

Why people install vBOptimize on such a small board is beyond me.
