Log In Everytime?

Post by Pale Rider » Sat Dec 11, 2010 4:19 pm

Anyone else having to suddenly log in absolutely every time they drop by - even if you've clicked the option to say logged in? Bloody annoying! :)

I guess there's some updates/chenges for databses/PHP on my server host... I have no idea how to fix this for the moment. Sorry. Need someone with more technical knowledge and more of.. hm.. energy for this sorts of things.

Hmm, on http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 314AAWR9IJ it says:
When I left the forums it still logged me out. So the solution was to go to the cookie settings in the forum and set name and domain to blank, then path to '/', then scroll to the bottom of the forums and click "delete forum cookies"

I also see that while logged in, the URL contains the string "sid=", which means that phpBB has some trouble with the cookie management and uses the URL to store the session id instead of the cookie. When we come back to the site, this "sid=" bit is of course lost.

Can you (TheBoyNextDoor) take a look at
  • cookie name (dawnrazor ?),
  • cookie domain (.imaginarywalls.com ?) and
  • cookie path (/forum ?)
on phpBB's Administration Console Page (ACP) under "General" > "Server configuration" > "Cookie settings"?

Playing around with 'em a bit might solve the issue.

If not, we're not the only ones having trouble: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=2113544

Maybe it's a bug in phpBB which enables itself December 2010? Can you tell me which version of phpBB3 we're in here?

Thnx, Mark

Well my post disappeared..

Thanks Mark!

I have tried to play aroind with the cookie settings but nothing have worked so far.. I feel completly lost on this matter.

We are running 3.0.1, maybe that's the reason for bugs.. is it safe to update? Or do I have to create a backup (which didn't work last time I tried)? Too little knowledge and interest to solve any of this I think.

@TheBoyNextDoor: Is it safe to update... Hm, my experience is that you'll usually get the answer when it's too late.

Can you send me the phpBB directory in a ZIP file? (This won't include the posts or user account data but the SQL database login, which is hopefully useless unless one has access to the database server itself.)

I could then try to reproduce the issue, play around a bit and suggest a fix.

Johan and I might be able to fix it this weekend.
Well, it is already fixed in my test setup at home but I wanna be sure that it doesn't break more than it fixes. The fix is btw just to update the forum software.

Okay. As everybody can see, Johan (aka TheBoyNextDoor) and I have moved the forum to a new location and updated it to the newest version of the forums software. Even for me it went a bit fast in the end but, well, here we are.

The login issue should be gone by now.

I hope that everything went well. If not, please tell the swine whose server we're now using: markandre13 or if you can't do this with this forum anymore: mhopf(at)mark13.org

People who were moderators before are still moderators. And those who weren't, still aren't. That includes me and I intend to keep it like that, just keeping an eye on the technical side, with the exception of removing spammers. :D

About dawnrazor.co.uk. We will keep that domain and I intend to host the forum under http://dawnrazor.co.uk/forum/ instead of http://dawnrazor.org/forum/ in the near future.

I will also write down some instructions for my wife and the current moderators on how to keep this forum online should something happen to me.
(Ie. plan crash on my way back from Budapest, or even worse: on my way to Budapest!)

Oh, and because we now have a frame on dawnrazor.co.uk which embeds dawnrazor.org (where the site only temporarily!) we have the same condition as at newgolddawn.com which has a frame embedding 534072.xobor.com... :oops:
