Discussion function didnt work

[Anagastes]

Describe the problem/question

I have often had the problem of things not working.

It was almost always a PHP function that was switched off.

But I can't find any documentation on which PHP functions need to be active for PrivateBin.

Currently the discussions are not working and I suspect a deactivated PHP function again.

Did you use the FAQ section?

• Yes, I have read the FAQ and I found no solution/answer there.

By default, no PHP functions are disabled, so I have never considered we would need to document the use of PHP functions. We do document the use of non-standard modules, like GD and recently ctype, see our installation documentation.

You will have to keep checking your php logs to find and solve any errors. Without an error message, we can only guess why creating pastes works, but discussions not. Is there no error displayed when you send a comment?

I have no idea why. Suddenly everything worked. I suspect a process that had not restarted correctly...

And I partly agree with you. But hosters that are designed for security disable functions by default and you can simply re-enable the ones you need yourself. :)

Of you come across such a hoster sure let us know about the actual issue at hand with an error message (and hostet name obviously).
