login trouble

[kurgan]

There seems to be (still in 1.1) a bug in the auth/cookie system

if you have been logged out you have to delete the cookies to be able to log back in.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's not true...it's not an issue for me here at home OR work.

[kurgan]

I and all the people on my board have that problem all the time

We are constantly told : no such username...

then we delete the cookies, and it works?

Try this fix I posted on another post to help a user with an log in problem.

I had the same problem till I installed the new subs.php version 1.1.3 and ssi.php version 1.1.1 then it fixed itself.

Here where I think the problem is thou, exact problem I had! If you are running the Perl board and installed the PHP board at the same time, make sure in your Forum's Prefrences and settings that each board has a diffrent cookie name. If not, that will screw your login with both boards. Make sure you installed the above updates first thou. Then I think everything will work. (also delete your cookies before going back to your site and login in.)

Good Luck!

(slightly edited to fit you problem)

Hope this helps?

Ill try the updated versions..

I do not have another version of yabb installed, so that is  not it.

[kurgan]

It looks like it fixed it.!!!

thanks!!

ad then again, no it doesnt quite work..

it will let you login, but once you click on any link the new page will appear as being a 'guest/logged out' screen

multiple users have problems on my site..

from what I can see the problem arises, when you hve chosen 'stay logged in' and the later manually logs out, this apparently screwsup the system?

[kurgan]

additional info:

it looks lik what happens is that two expiretime cookies are stored, but no uabbpass and yabbuser cookies?

after nuking the cookies and doing a re-login I get one expiretime cookie, and a yabbpass, and a yabb user

major headache!"

has this been fixed in 1.3.0? becaue it works fine from here, its only on other boards...

[Jeff Lewis]

It happens for both of you guys?  What forums?  Have some links to try?

[BloodThirsty229]

Nemisis was reffering to me before. It turns out that my PostNuke was changing the YaBB SE cookie. I even changed the name of cookies for yabb. So all I did was just remove postnuke and reinstall YaBB SE and I haven't been getting those errors anymore.

http://dimension-22.com right now I only have the forum on there because I can't use PostNuke anymore so I have to find something new.

[kurgan]

I have postnuke installed as well

YaBB SSI is very functional with a little bit of editing you can make it like PostNuke, Just take a look at my site, YaBBNuke baby!

Ahah! i think i have found a answer to why its happening and a solution to the problem.

It seems to be boards that are not using the REAL url to the scripts (i.e. redirections and sites in frames) that this is happening on.

To fix it: Go to tools>internet options> privacy >advanced and check both the checkboxes in there. works for me.

I cannot even get into my admin menu to fix bugs or view the error log.... had to go into phpMyAdmin just to do that.....

1) I log in, page comes up....
http://www.quitmeth.com/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=login2

2) I click ANY link to go to that page, INCLUDING my admin section, and the system brings up the login screen again, LOGIN or REGISTER....

QUESTION:  Which of my local backup files (sources) should I upload, to overwrite the fouled up ones, such that I don't lose current data (members, messages, etc)??

This needs to be solved immediately,  
so please reply ASAP .   Thanks.
