yea thats posable ial look in to it

ulminia,

also check out ventrilodisplay_ex2.php, it's a different way it displays the info (with just users).

those might help you.

its all in the arguments you send to the command interpreter with the shell_exec(), exec(), system(), or popen() function.

Run ventrilo_status and you can see all the arguments (sorry I dont have a copy of the win32 bin atm)

any luck on getting this to display better?

im working on it give me time please

DoZ Vent Status

Getting the following error:

CVentriloStatus->Request() failed. PHP Unable to start external status process.

CHMOD'd the folder and the files within to 777.

I also did the following as suggested:

In the ventrilostatus.php script, you need to change:

Code: Select all

$cmdline = escapeshellarg( $cmdline );

to

Code: Select all

$cmdline = escapeshellcmd( $cmdline );

Then it will run fine.

Any ideas?

CVentriloStatus->Request() failed. PHP Unable to start external status process.


means one of a few things:

1: the path to the binary file is incorrect
2: permissions to run the binary file are insufficient (ie. CHMOD)
3. PHP cant use the phpopen() function (because of safe mode maybe?)

Thanks Matt. Checked the path and the CHMOD's, and they seem correct. How would I go about looking into safe mode?

Would I have to edit an .htaccess file?

I have a vent status script on my guild's main page. That is if you can't get something to work in your roster. I dunno, you might be able to stick this in your roster somehow. You can get it here...Ventrilo Spy. You can see an example of it here...Solus Novo. Hope this helps.

yup.

I also get the:

Code: Select all

CVentriloStatus->Request() failed. PHP Unable to start external status process.


error.

the directory the program is in is 777.

I am pertty sure the path is correct, though im going to play around with it. I pulled the path info from the DF system info though, so I'm pretty sure its all good.

I don't know how to check for safe mode either... so if anyone can tell me how to verify that, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Ha!

got it working!

My path was wrong. I had used one that I copied from the DF settings, but it was a no go.

I threw a phpinfo.php file into my ventrilo directory and went to it, and was able to pull a different path from that. Now it works like a charm!

Frome the way this addon look it will only work if the ventrilo server is on the same system as webpage?

So it would not work if i hade some other company hosting the ventrilo server?

In order to have it show the status for remote (that is to say not on the same server as the status script) a few things must happen:

1) The company hosting your vent must allow you to do "remote statusing" (most vent hosts do allow this)
2) You must know the "status password" set for your vent server (sometimes this password is not required)
3) the password (if required), the hostname, and the statusing port (usually the same port as the normal port) must be set in the ventrilo status script
