Fatal error - Serializer.php

[Rob]

I have just installed the Phoca guestbook on Joomla 1.5.1.

Everything works fine until I try to submit a message. Then I get this:
Fatal error: Base directory /home/public_html/components/com_phocaguestbook/assets/library/HTMLPurifier/Definitio nCache/Serializer does not exist, please create or change using %Cache.SerializerPath in /home/public_html/components/com_phocaguestbook/assets/library/HTMLPurifier/Definitio nCache/Serializer.php on line 138

Is this a known problem and does someone have a solution?

NO, this is new protection against XSS (html purifier), so I must look at it...

Jan

[Jan]

please let me know, if the error appears while succesfully adding a message or while not succesfully adding... and what kind of characters were in the message

Jan

[Rob]

It happens with any characters and no message is added.

Can I see it, do you have your site on-line?

[Rob]

Sorry, It's not live yet.
But it doesn't seem to matter what I write. If I write test in Subject and test in content i still get a white page with the mentioned error message, after clicking submit.

Thanks for looking into this.

any news for me?

Try to upgrade to 1.3.0 (I have added the folders to to tree:

/DefinitionCache/Serialize
...
)

If it not helps, we must still wait for new Joomla! with fixed JRequest Clean Method...
