I hard coded my sites in posting.php

well have tried the fixes and for some reason, some mozilla users (not all) are still having the issue. They have deleted their cookies and still can't post or pm. Read somewhere else that you should have domain set like

Code:

.mysite.com

not

Code:

mysite.com

Is this true?

"Read somewhere else that you should have domain set like .mysite.com"

I´ve read this too long time ago but if I remember correctly this was about other (cookie) issues with a stand alone phpBB forum. At that time the version 2.0.21 wasn´t released. However, I ´ve never used this with dot before and I don´t have any issues.

I upgraded to .22 a few weeks ago and now I have users complaining about this, although personally I (and a few others) have not seen the problem (and I use Firefox).

I will try changing my cookie name to match my site name, but why in the world would that make a difference? Confused

Currently I have

domain: mysite.com
name: phpbbmysql (or whatever the default is, I can't remember)
path: /
session length: 3600 (the default I believe)

This is probably old news to some of you, but this phpBB knowledge base entry helped me understand what phpBB is trying to accomplish:

I may be onto something here (or not). In posting.php, I decided to find out exactly what was happening to cause that error. In posting.php, I added debug code to:

Code:

// session id check introduced v2.0.22
if ($sid == '' || $sid != $userdata['session_id'])
{
$error_msg .= (!empty($error_msg)) ? '<br />' . $lang['Session_invalid'] : $lang['Session_invalid'];
}

so that it looked like this:

Code:

// session id check introduced v2.0.22
if ($sid == '' || $sid != $userdata['session_id'])
{
$error_msg .= (!empty($error_msg)) ? '<br />' . $lang['Session_invalid']." x - sid=$sid -- userdata_sid = ".$userdata['session_id'] : $lang['Session_invalid']." {else} - sid=$sid -- userdata_sid = ".$userdata['session_id'];
}

Changing that in posting.php worked for me. Thanks for the fix!

OK guys I'm very new to all this..
and I'm struggling..

ok I understand what I need to change but where I do that I have no idea.

I'm using Nuke8.1

I'm assuming I go in to the control admin pannel. go to Preferences. then to general. and adjust the top 2 forms

Site Name: FairPlayGaming
Site URL: fairplaygaming.org.uk

as I use a splash screen will I have to add the sub directory to get to the nuke root

fairplaygaming.org.uk/site

BTW I have also amended the script as Raven posted above..

Still no joy Sad

Thanks for your time

fpg-merlin · Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2007 3:58 pm

I've also just notice this on private messages

Warning: main(includes/bbcode.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/fairplaygaming.org.uk/public_html/site/modules/Private_Messages/index.php on line 68

You'll need to go to your Forums Admin Panel to change the cookie settings there.

Looks like you're also missing hte includes/bbcode.php file
Then, I haven't used phpNuke 8.1. It is another untested, buggy release. I hope you didn't pay money for the no-support that FB offers.

fpg-merlin · Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2007 4:18 pm

Thanks.
I changed the cookies there no joy

No I have the includes/bbcode.php

should they be in site/forums/includes/bbcode.php or site/includes/bbcode.php
I see 2 includes folders

yep paid for it £12 and nice intro to Nuke with 2 days experance lol.

What I did notice was the forums admin pannel didn't have configeration page. Is that normal for Nuke?

montego · Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 6:51 am

If you are only two days into it, I would strongly recommend you dump that garbage and pick up RavenNuke from this site here. You cannot get better support!

fpg-merlin · Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 9:10 am

we can all post now it kicked in this morning after checking the cookies last night.
So thanks for that the only problem we have is a missing file I think.

We have a lot of errors showing in the private messages

My web site is not in my public_html as I constucted it whilst my old site used that folder, I just costucted it in a sub folder and use a spach screen to rediect to the new site.

have set on my config:
server cookie: fairplaygaming
name: fairplaygaming.org.uk

although my path is: /fpg/html/index.php

I'm asuming that because my site is not at the server root(public_html) and is 2 folders back, this is what is causing the problem.

To that end would it cause any problems with RN, if I was to move the site forward to public_html

montego · Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2007 7:03 am

If you move the site forward, you simply need to change the Site URL within Preferences and the Domain Name within the Forums configuration to match your new path.

Just remember that in Preferences the URL must have the "http://" in front, but in Forums configuration, leave OFF the "http://".

In addition, if you are using the .staccess file (CGIAuth) for NukeSentinel protection of your admin.php file, you will need to also fix the absolute path to that file in .htaccess.

Only about 10% of my users are having this problem and it only seems to happen when they are trying to change there forums profile, they are able to post in the forums. I did read above that changing the cookies didnt help one person until in the morning. I changed they last night but have not had any of my 10% on this morning to tell me if the problem is still there. I will update you guys as soon as one of them comes around but it being Turkeyday it might be tomorrow before I can update you guys.

Thanks for the help

Hi guys,

I had the same problem and I think there is some kinda check on the cookie settings especialy on the "Cookie domain" setting ...

I changed this setting to everything and it didn't work until I changed it to the real domain the site in on.

Hope this helps you guys ...

The Problem is still there for my users.

The 10 % of your users with this problem need to clear cookies and cache and possible they should try it with an other browser too.
