Bug Scores wont save

[sparkster666]

I cant get my Arcade to save score I just receive this error

After the game appears to refresh

You appear to be playing a game;
starting this might forfeit that session.

I am contemplating getting pro but I need to resolve this error

Thanks in advance

Here are the current reasons why scores might not be submitting on your site:

• The permissions for you and that game have not been set to Score (as opposed to Play or Record)
• The game has been set to not accept local scoring
• The game has been set to the wrong scoring system
• Your game session has not submitted the score
• Your .htaccess file has not been altered correctly (usually indicated by errors during product import)
• Your arcade is set to archive your non-best scores, and that was not your best score
• Your site is behind a server password prompt
• Mochi: you do not have your publisher id or secret filled in
• Mochi: you are running the arcade from localhost

ALMOST ALWAYS is it the first bullet, check that first, the next two are USUALLY set automatically, MOST games will have a well-informed score submission time (though I've seen games that send without telling you, and some that don't actually send despite claiming it), the fifth bullet will usually throw installer errors/messages, and the sixth bullet should at least show some scores from somewhere being saved. Usually games can't post through your password prompt, and especially not if you are using mochi, which sends scores from their remote servers without your forum session.

Do only specific games, or specific scoring systems, or all games not save scoring for yourself, specific usergroups, or everyone?

Check all that our and report back with your findings. If none of the above works the issue will be troubleshot further

I Think all my settings are correct. The 3 games installed are
Tags: ibProArcade And they are ibPROArcade games they worked fine in v3arcade
I have not changed any permissions and they appear to be
Any Usergroup Any Game score
Where is the .htaccess file located so I can take a look at it?

 

[Ozzy47]

.htaccess is in the forum root

 

[sparkster666]

There is no reference to vBArcade in it

RewriteEngine on

[Ozzy47]

Is that the whole .htaccess file?

Is that the only .htaccess file you have?

 

[sparkster666]

That is the only .htaccess file I find in root.

You can access the arcade to witness it

www.ligs.us

 

[Ozzy47]

Try adding this at the bottom of the .htaccess file, if you renamed the acp change the red part of the code to the new directory name. Then try a game and let me know.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on

  # If vbulletin is in a subdirectory, add it here
  RewriteBase $path[1]/

  # Retrieve gamedata requests and send to new dbtech locations
  RewriteRule ^arcade/gamedata/(.*) dbtech/vbarcade/media/$1 [L]

  # Retrieve crossdomain requests and send to new dbtech location

  # Send hardcoded ipa scores to arcade instead
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=Arcade [OR]
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} autocom=arcade
  RewriteRule ^index\.php arcade.php [L,QSA]

  # Send hardcoded pnf scores to arcade instead

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} vbarcade_session

  RewriteRule .* %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/[COLOR="#FF0000"]$acp[/COLOR]/arcade_admin.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&do=review&import=browse&system=v3a [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

 

[sparkster666]

Here is my .htaccess now. Same error. It is weird its like it flashes my site in a frame then goes back to the game with the error

Can you pm me with a admin account and ftp info so I can see if I can figure out what is going on.

---------- Post added at 19:22 ---------- Previous post was at 19:07 ----------

Ok I don't see a reason for it to do that, I will forward the info to Darkwaltz4 who is the dev for the mod he should know what is going on for sure, so please don't change te admin account or ftp info till you hear from him.

 

[sparkster666]

Sounds good My members are inching for the arcade . I dont want to go back to v3arcade

 

[Darkwaltz4]

I've sorted where your htaccess is supposed to be, and it looks correct, but the scores are still not getting routed to the correct locations. im still looking into why this is for you

 

[sparkster666]

Thanks Everyone is looking forward to this version

 

[Darkwaltz4]

It looks like your htaccess files arent being processed at all;

You will need to ask your host for these privileges to be enabled for you.

If you can't do this, then you won't be able to run mainly ibproarcade games - you should still be able to run those made for v3arcade, etc.

 

[sparkster666]

That is strange because all the games I am using worked in v3arcade. Even the ibproarcade games.

Here is some of my httpd.cfg

# forbid access to the entire filesystem by default
<Directory />
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

# use .htaccess files for overriding,
AccessFileName .htaccess
# and never show them
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>

Is this correct? can you let me know the changes I need to make to enable it?

 

[Darkwaltz4]

ibp games send directly to index.php and reference things from gamedata folders. this is a mess and difficult to work around, and v3arcade left those folder where they were. i decided to move everything to a central location with the addon, and use htaccess to reroute those requests since its just about always in use (you are actually the first who has it disabled)

im pretty weak as a sysadmin, but ill try to figure out what you need to do to turn those on.

---------- Post added at 21:49 ---------- Previous post was at 21:24 ----------

Got it working for you

You had htaccess disabled on your server because in default-server.conf for your docroot, you had AllowOverwrite None. I changed it to All and restarted your server.

Check it out: Archery - Forums

ps - you have a lot of errors in general (not related to vbarcade) that you might want to look through your error logs to rectify. Your logs are filling up fast!

 

[sparkster666]

Thanks allot for your help. My webserver logs or my VB logs?

 

[Darkwaltz4]

your apache logs. i was looking in there while trying to figure out what was going on, and saw you have a lot of things causing those logs to overflow

 

[sparkster666]

Thanks again Ill have a look. Happy New Year

---------- Post added at 11:20 ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 ----------

Can you please tell me the location of the config and the changes you made please. I have to straiten out some undesired effects. Allot of the images on my site are now broken. I need to work on my .htaccess file.

 

[Darkwaltz4]

I sent you a PM with the details.
