Forums - Invalid Session (I've Read FAQ And Posts!)

New Member Joined: May 16, 2009 Posts: 10

I am having an issue on my website with getting "Invalid session". As an admin I can post but all the other regular members cannot post.

I have read this FAQ with no luck - http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/faq-2-.html#70

I have also read the most recent Invalid session post with no luck as well.

My website is http://www.deathbeforedishonor.us. My settings for cookies are:

Cookie Domain: deathbeforedishonor.us
Cookie Name: DBD
Cookie Path: /
Cookie Secure: Disabled
Session Length: 3600

All your help is greatly appreciated! Very Happy

I would check to make sure the Cookie Domain name is correctly spelled and does not have spaces in front of it or behind it. Maybe even change the Cookie Name to deathbeforedishonor and see if that helps at all.

I have. The cookie domain is now: .deathbeforedishonor.us

I've been messing around with this for like an hour. I even used the autocookie program thing.

Have you tried:

Cookie domain:
Cookie name: deathbeforedishonor
Cookie path: /

Be sure to clear your cache and delete all cookies that are for this domain.

Yes that hasn't worked either. I just tried it and before I tested it I cleared my cache and cookies and tried it on a fresh browser.

Found the problem.

It was due to the theme I had on there. The CoD4 one I had on there. I put it to fisubice and it works fine now. So I'm just going to leave it as is.

Thanks so much for letting us know! I am wondering why/how a theme is interruption the forum's session management. If you feel like pursuing it you might contact the author and ask his/her opinion. It could be that the author has heard of this before.

I believe it is because the theme was missing .tpl files. I had to manually copy and paste from say the fisubice folder the files it was missing. I would get errors saying it was missing it or whatever.

That would certainly cause it Laughing

- Thanks!

No problem. Glad I actually helped solved the issue Razz

. I've spent so many countless hours working with PHP Nuke, then Nuke Evolution. Changed from PHP Nuke to Nuke Evo cause I wanted some features. Then I couldn't get Nuke Evo to work so I decided to use Raven Nuke. Besides this theme issue I have had no problems doing what I wanted. So thanks for creating a solid piece of work Smile
