    Question Ubuntu--Firefox--Wordpress controls issue

    My current setup is Ubuntu 12.04 / Firefox 16.0.2 / Wordpress 3.4.2

    Am trying to work with a WP theme called Modernize.

    There are default option of image Sliders - Flex/Nivo available in the theme. In the setup page, the button "Select Media" when clicked is non-responsive and hence I am unable to upload images into the slider. I am finding the same result with Chrome as browser on Ubuntu.

    I have used the same theme with Wordpress 3.4.2 on a windows xp machine with Chrome browser and it seems to be working fine.

    I am unable to understand the exact problem. Is it something to do with Javascript ? I tested my browser with websites like javatester.org and the javascript is running just fine.

    I wasn't sure which category should I post this in. I would appreciate any directions/feedbacks for diagnosing the issue.

    Thanks Rakhoush

    I don't have an answer for you rakhoush, just a question.

    Are you running Wordpress locally, that is, does it reside on you computer rather than at your ISP?

    I'm trying to install Wordpress to run on my computer so that I can learn Wordpress without having to be online. Haven't succeeded yet.

    Looking for your reply.

    @superdaveozzborn

    Please check the image/gallery settings to see if you need to upload the images using "set featured image" or any other link beforehand.

    And once your uploads are in place then you could possibly go to the pages and add images to the posts or slider.

    The confusion arises when there is a button to select media which doesn;t work. This is the reason it wasn't working because the idea of select media is to select from already uploaded images, which one needs to do from the main gallery settings.

    After a long detour, I finally managed with the existing options.

    @mastablasta thanks for your reply. I did use firebug but couldn't trace this issue as the images were not there to be selected, while the logic laid somewhere else to make the selection pool beforehand.

    Thanks

    I did this and it worked fine under 12.04:

    Install LAMP server

    sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
    Note: the ^ above is not a typo
    Reboot - may not be neccessary but to be on the safe side

    Install Wordpress

    sudo apt-get install wordpress
    sudo ln -s /usr/share/wordpress /var/www/wordpress
    sudo bash /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n wordpress docs.miles33.com
    sudo chown -R www-data /usr/share/wordpress
    Important note: In the setup-mysql script the location of the Wordpress site is defined - here I defined server.domain.com

    Then access http://server.domain.com/wordpress

    The first time you access the Wordpress URL, you come to the Wordpress quick setup screen:
    Then Wordpress is installed and brings you to the login screen.

    This installed Wordpress 3.3.1

    Note to log into the admin panel, use URL:
    http://server.domain.com/wordpress/wp-login.php
    To login as a user, use URL:
    http://server.domain.com/wordpress

    Worked like a champ for me. HTH

    Re: Ubuntu--Firefox--Wordpress controls issue

    @weedwacker, I am running the server on my own machine which cjhabs has posted the method for the same.

    @superdaveozzborn what i am trying to do now, is to try and edit the source and get the image onto it coz the images are typically taken from wp-content/uploads/<year>/<month>/<files>
    I will update if I find some luck here.

    Cheers

    you could use firebug to see what the button calls and why the function is not reposnding.
    Read the easy to understand, lots of pics Ubuntu manual.
    Do i need antivirus/firewall in linux?
