no java works anymore

  • Hi. thanks for reading.
    My host (Bluefish) recently “upgraded” to a new platform and who knows what else. first my databases were not migrated to the new platform, destroying my site for weeks. Since then they have managed to almost fix my site but their support is so slow now and they will not talk to me personally. I have to submit a new ticket for every problem i find since the “upgrade”
    I’m hoping somebody here might be able to tell me if there is something i can do myself.
    Java Script no longer functions on my site. this only effects a few actions but they are important to me. one being the thickbox action i had on all my image galleries. the other being the “livesearch”. JS also does not work where i noticed it in WPadmin.

    I was told that i had an error on line 58 and was given a try/catch code to work around it but that didn’t help.
    i was also told that it was a server error and something that my Host had to fix.

    so right now. I’m just stuck.

    hope you can help. thanks a lot

  • Note: JavaScript (JS) is a text-based, client-side (in the browser), scripting language. Java is a programming language that is used to create applets (miniature apps used in a web page) or standalone applications.

    Looking at the source of your theme, I see that it uses some JS files from the K2 theme. All of those JS files actually have the PHP extension and are designed to be sent compressed. Using Firefox and the Firebug extension, I can see that all of your plain JS files (just the “.js” extension are fine, but the JS files used by your theme (all with the “.js.php” extension) return a server 500 error, which means that something is not (apparently) correct with your server.

    So, this isn’t the JS, per se, but how your server is processing the JS files with the PHP extension. Either the server’s PHP processor is misconfigured or the PHP code related to these JS files is bad.

    Download the current K2 theme and install it on your site. Switch to that theme. If livesearch works in that, then your old theme’s JS files are the culprit.

    But, honestly, just move to a better host. For $6.95 a month, this is…

    Web Traffic Transfer (Bandwidth): 15,000 Gigs / Month

    (Source) That’s least 10^3 times what any honest, reasonable web hosting company would offer for that price.

    I checked the domains (dskessler.com and studioscopic.com). They’re both registered through Godaddy, so at least they weren’t registered through Bluefishhosting.

    thanks scribblerguy

    i wasn’t aware of the difference between java and java script. that’s good info.
    i think you are right about moving to a new host. i wish i did not recently pay for another year but oh well. The k2 based theme that i have installed worked fine for months I’ll try your suggestion to make sure but you are the second person to say that the problem is on their end and not mine and since this is just the last in a long list of problems i’ve had with Bluefish recently, i think i should cut my losses.

    sorry about the signature. actually just wanted to get my url in there for diagnosis. didn’t mean for bad forum etiquette.
