HTTP 500 error

Can you tell me what changed between version 1.2.0 and 1.2.1?

Thanks already

There was a security fix. Protection against XSS (there is a library called html purifier) which cleans 'dangerous scripts' from strings...

There is some error on your site in this library ...

Hi Jan,

I tried it even with the new version, but i still get the same error. So i will send you my FTP info and joomla info in a PM. Hope you can find the problem.

Thanks already.

Hi, in your administrator area, there is all right with guestbook, in frontend too, I left an message in guestbook, everything works ok ...

That's because i'm still running version 1.2.0 Beta. If i upgrade to any version above version 1.2.0 it doesn't work anymore.

Try for yourself and install the latest phoca guestbook Then i get the HTTP 500 error.

[Jan]

so please install the 1.3.1 and let me know login, password into the pm

Done, and thanks already.

The problem is here:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctype_lower() in ...components/com_phocaguestbook/assets/library/HTMLPurifier/Token.php on line 70

The HTML purifier is an external library which check the strings against XSS attacks becasue there is still some problem in Joomla! with clean method

I cannot say what can be the problem because it is an external script

I think your php server doesn't have inmplemented the Ctype functions

On the website it's written:

In PHP versions before 4.4.1, ctype functions have a bug handling very large integers.
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34645

But my ISP is using 5.2.4-pl2-gentoo.

Shouldn't it be solved in this PHP version?

I found something:

It's written disabled ctype. So that's the problem i guess?
