OK, I have read posts upon posts of postwrap problems and am not completely finding the answer to my problem, so here I go:

I have this in administration/postwrap/General:


And I have this in administration/postwrap/URL Security:


Now from what I understand to utilize "Compare URL against URL Security in DataBase.....Yes", I need to add the URL to the URL security and give it an alias. Did that.

This is my URL as added: https://admin.1and1.com
This is my Alias as added: 1and1controlpanel

This is the link I have in the Main Menu block now: http://awds.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=1and1controlpanel

I have also tried:

:arrow: http://awds.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=https://admin.1and1.com
:arrow: modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=https://admin.1and1.com
:arrow: http://www.awds.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=https://admin.1and1.com
:arrow: http://www.awds.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=1and1controlpanel


This is the error I get:


As you can see, I have tried several different ideas. I am still a pnNoob so as I read things I try em. I do not fully know the working of modules yet, so I cannot seem to find the error in any of the module's files, or where to fix it.

ARRRRGH, sorry I am just beyond frustrated!

Help please!!

postwrap cant handle https urls as far as i have tried it

You know, I thought of that possibility at one point too. So I tested it with another URL and I got the same response. Then after reading your post, I took it a step further. I copied the exact set up for a working postwrap link on another site that worked there. When it was copied over, no go, same result! I have even copied the exact settings throughout the postwrap settings from the same site and still nothing.

it seems like that your postwrap moduel isnt entirely on your server as when i did
<code>modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index</code> on my site i see
Sorry, this host is not authorized to display pages here. and when i do it your site
the error page comes up.
I would suggest reuploading the module and reactivating it

OK, I gave that a shot and am now at a different problem.

I go to initialise it and get "Table creation failed". So I deleted it again and reloaded it and same crap! I am at a loss on how to fix that.

BUT! This is more than messed up now. Out of sheer dumb luck, I clicked on that link I spoke of in my second post that I knew worked 100% from copied from another site I am a part of. The damn thing worked! So I tried my link that I was originally wanting on the site and it works too!

I don't get it, I have removed Postwrap completely from the site and only added it back into the modules directory. I can't get initialised as I said at first. But it works???


OK, I know this is almost rambling here, but I have to figure this out!! I won't rest until I do!!
So I did another test: I created a link name TestWrap in the main menu with the working link copied from my freaky working link. Then I took out the target URL and replaced it with http://forums.postnuke.com.
I then got the error as attachmentgenie did, "Sorry, this host is not authorized to display pages here." I can understand that adding new links into the block would not probably work, it was just a test.

WTF !!! Course, I am thinking that this has GOT to do with the table.

My assumption is that if I removed the module, and now it works - It conflicted in the table somewhere.
Also - I remove the module, place it back and cannot get it to create the table again.

I dunno, it's getting more frustrating. I'm thinking about making a damn HTML block, at least there I can type 'target="_blank"' and I know it will open a new screen.

prob there is some problem with removing the DB table will removing the module. this would result in the intialise conflict as your new module will bomb ou t upon tryin to create a already excisting dbase. but because the module and dbase are there it will fully be functuional but will not show up in the admin section as this requires a fully inilitialised and activated module.

So toget a fully functional module you will have to delete the table manually from your dbase (fg trough your web interface )
and then delete, regenerate, initalise and activate it.

and for your second problem the answer can be found in your settings.
Allow input from browser address bar.....Yes
Compare URL against URL Security in DataBase.....Yes
no matter what the first option says the second will over rule it . your substituted URL will only work when you set the second option to No.

hope this helps you

OK, then I am on the right path of where the problem lies now. In the table was right. Now I just gotta figure out how the heck to see my database. My host does not have the easiest interface, but I can't complain, it's free.

So, what is the best way to access my database? Maybe I can figure it out with a little nudge! Is this where that 'myphpadmin or something' comes into play? LOL, forgive my noobness.


Thanks for your help so far genie!!!! I REALLY appreciate it!

yep thats where phpMyAdmin comes into play.
you should go inthere and look for a table called nuke_postwrap_url and delete it (the nuke part depends on what you seet as prefix ) but i used the default here. and then you should be done .

andi just checked your link in your first post and the link to your webadmin now works.
so https is supported by postwrap.
I just upgraded my postwrap and it does work now for me too.

and mmm a free host that can run PostNuke do you have a URL.

OK, thought so, I have read about there here n there. But I get confused pretty easy. My host wants me to use Putty to get myphpadmin set up and I haven't a clue how to run it yet. I am sure that will be another post soon ;) It just goes over my head right now. But then, PN did too, still does :(.

Anyway, thanks again!!

About my host:

www.1and1.com It was a gimmick they were running back in Nov-Dec ish. I just happened upon the ad in PC World and swore it was too good to be true! Well I spent hours reading every dang thing they had on the site and could not find a catch. They gave me what they call the "Professional Package", it's not too shabby. All the bells and whistles needed to run a pretty decent site. Only 500mb storage though, won't work for where I wanna take the site, but decent for now til I get there. With that and 5 gig/month in traffic, it's doing alright.

The best part is, it's not like I am drawn into any contract at all, and I get 3 years FREE!!! I mean damn! Can't beat it. I should have signed up a few "friends" so I could have had more hosting power :twisted:

Well I should get back to work as I now know I can't do a lick about myphpadmin here. That'll just take a boatload of time!
