Site Showing No Vaultage

[daman69xo]

Dugie,

Site has been updated. Please check my account which is username:
directusa

The site is now back online but not showing any vaultage.

I have this on my .htaccess file:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
php_value auto_append_file "footer.php"

With this, the validation shows as:
bank.directoryusa.biz

Site Approval Status Approved on 25 Jul 2006
Latest Link Vault Script Version 1.4.01
Your Script Version unknown failed
Site Reset failed
Communications Check unknown failed
This Page should contain Temporary Test Link passed
This Page should contain Temporary Test Link passed
This Page should contain Temporary Test Link passed
Site Active Status Site remains Not Active




Suggested course of action:

Get the latest code by going to 'site setup instructions'

Check this link: http://bank.directoryusa.biz/lvXXX.p...tscriptversion ; when you view source on the page the only text should be 1.4.01 with no spaces (or any character) before or after the text.

Talk to your host and make sure that they allow you to make http requests from your server to ours. There may be a firewall that kicks in if too many requests are made successively triggered by our site evaluation process.

Check that the file http://bank.directoryusa.biz/XXX.txt has the correct read / write permissions.


But if I just use:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
in the htaccess file then it shows:

bank.directoryusa.biz

Site Approval Status Approved on 25 Jul 2006

Your Script Version 1.4.01 passed
Site Reset passed

What's the best way to resolve this?

Chmod is 644 for htacces file

Sorry for my late reply.

You really shouldn't post your lvXXX security code. I've edited your post for you..

This error indicates you are including some code twice:
http://bank.directoryusa.biz/lvXXX.p...tscriptversion :

1.4.01

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare link_vault_shutdownfunction() (previously declared in /home2/director/public_html/bank/lvXXX.php:1380) in /home2/director/public_html/bank/lvXXX.php on line 1386

The cause of the error is this line in your .htaccess:

php_value auto_append_file "footer.php"

You should take it out, and have your Link Vault PHP code in an include such as 'lvFooter.php'. Then you simply paste this at the bottom of each page on your site which should have the LV code:

PHP Code:

<?php
include 'lvFooter.php';
?>

As your site appears to be database driven, you should have no problems pasting this code into a few files.

Hi Dugie,

For this subdomain:
http://bank.directoryusa.biz/

I took out that line in the htaccess file:
php_value auto_append_file "footer.php"

Then I put the Link Vault PHP code in an include such as 'lvFooter.php
and pasted this at the bottom of footer.php file:
<?php
include 'lvFooter.php';
?>

So i check to validate and got this msg:

bank.directoryusa.biz

If you noticed on http://autorepair.directoryusa.biz/

It looks that it is active and there's no problems there so I'm puzzled how this would be different. These are no difference in structure so bank.directoryusa.biz subdomain should not have any problems either.

Can you tell me why "http://autorepair.directoryusa.biz" works but "http://bank.directoryusa.biz " does not?

[Dugie]

The fact that turning test mode on for http://bank.directoryusa.biz/ does not result in test links being placed on http://bank.directoryusa.biz/ suggests that there is something wrong with the way that you have set up this particular subdomain in Link Vault.

I suggest that you delete the Link Vault files for that site from your server, and follow the Site Setup instructions again for that site, from scratch.

Dugie,

To do this would take a long time to set everything up again. If it worked before and nothing was changed then how come I lost vaultage? I had thousands in vaultage before the site was inactive b/c I had changed the site. Now, I put it back as is and now it's as if I have to start this all over again.

Shouldn't it link vault script just reactivate to working form if the site is back up? Why is it so difficult just to get everything back in place?

[daman69xo]

I just erased the lv files from that subdomain, and re-uploaded it again. This hasnt made any positive progress. Everything is still the same and test links are still not visible.

[daman69xo]

Dugie,

There are thousands of pages. There has to be an easier way to add that line of code to each php page. The htaccess line would've been best as it would've auto appended that link vault script onto every page automatically.

There is a line of code for the first link vault file. It says:
"if (defined('LINK_VAULT_ScriptVersion')) {
//echo '<b>lv*.php: Warning - You are including lv*.php more than once.</b>';
return; //This return prevents the rest of the code from being included again."

This should've prevent the script verification to process without any issues since I named the footer as "lvfooter.php" But this still did not resolve the case. What do you suggest is the best way to process these thousands of pages?

The problem is probably that you are doing something wrong. As soon as we get this working, and all of your pages are revisited (to let Link Vault know about them), you will have your same vaultage back.

That isn't quite what I asked you to do. I asked you to:

I appreciate you may have actually done this, and just worded your response ambiguously, but I need to make sure.

I imagined you were using mod_rewrite with something like /serveListings.php?state=AK&City=Hoonah as the actual PHP script.

Are you telling me that each page such as http://bank.directoryusa.biz/AK/Hoonah.php is actually a separate PHP file on your webserver?

If that is the case, for now we can forget about getting the code on every page. We just need to get the code working on http://bank.directoryusa.biz/ and we can move forward from there.

If you just want this to work, you can PM me with FTP details and I'll take a look.

[Dugie]

I like to check up on unresolved topics.

Looking at your site, it appears you have the Link Vault code being included twice, so you have two sets of links.

That at best looks silly, and at worst could possibly affect something on the search engine side.

hi dugie,

My server crashed and i had to re-install the site through cpanel. However, now it has caused different problems and site is showing no vaultage.

For example, when i clicked to check site and activate, i get this error:

bank.directoryusa.biz

Then when I click to check script version, I get this error page:
