Okay, first off I'm totally new to the community, and appologize if I wasn't able to find another thread that contains this same question if it's out there - or if this is in the wrong area Anyway, I tried to get it right



Okay, I am the user of a b2 blog that a friend has setup for me, and helps me with - but we have both come to a 'wtf' point. He set the blog up for me a while back off this file -

b2-0.6.1-20021104+ljupdate-0.2.tar.gz

Initially we had some issues where I couldn't see any profile info o_0 Perhaps it's because I'm running IE 5.5 and it was a cookie issue? [I reviewed the 6.0 issue and yea] Anyway, so that fixed after a day / time / yea. Upon review of the nifty new shiney B2 love I saw a "LJ update, login and password" field that was nice and shiney and I came in here and read about a while back...


A few weeks ago I got a LJ with the express reason of using it as a mirror for my B2 blog. Yet - when I went BACK to put in that info - things had - changed?! The login - was gone.


Now - my friend insists he didn't update/change anything, and I did meddle a bit with the templates for output of the BLOG some, but don't think I got anywhere near anything profile or LJ releated... Later after I found it was gone I meddled a bit with the config file - only where Sir V says to, yet I still got no changes.


So. With no updates ran, and no file tampering with the Config file that I know of - what COULD have happened?


I'm trying to think back to what I might have done in my new glee of the blog, and I MAY have been a fool and doubled up my pass and user into that LJ field... Would the fact that I have no LJ account cause them to block me or something? Even so - how would lj.com blocking my stupidity - take away the LOG IN aspect of the profile?


Anyway, I'm at a loss, I did a number of searches for this on the forums a bit back and skimmed through just now after signing up - but found nothing I could identify being about something like this. I would appreciate any help, and I thank you in advance.


[edit] : screams in pain :

Okay. Another aspect. A - I'm pretty sure that I DID have the whole pass in there and left it that way for some DUMB NEWBIE REASON. B - my friend also setup a account out of the same main 'blog' dir but just different sub dir's for my partner... HE HAS THE LJ UPDATE. AnD iT wOrKs FoR hiM!@ So. Please. Help.

I've seen several places where posting the config file has brought alot of light on the subject... Don't know if my problem is THERE - but this file and of course my index.php file has pretty much been the only thing I've edited... So perhaps this will give some info and spurn some help.


I'll kill the comments as the pro's will heh, kinda know what the stuff is anyway.

I hope this will help anyone out that was thinking I probably knew nothing heh - I can edit yes, but I do not have any server side knowledge, I'm a designer, not a code boy, and have not been able to take on the full knowledge of this software yet. It's easy, and it's really well coded / created from what I know of - but yea, this is my ONE big issue I cannot seem to solve.
