Topic: bad HTTP_REFERER when adding mini-portal

I am trying to add a portal to my forum, but now I am getting the bad HTTP_REFERER error.

My forum moved from www.website.com/forum to www.website.com/forum.php.   I updated my base_url in the database and cleared out the cache directory yet I still have the problem. I do not have Norton so that isn't the problem.

Am I correct in assuming that my new base_url should be  http://www.website.com/forum.php?

Thanks for any help.

No reason for your base url to have changed. The base url shouldn't refer to a specific file, just the directory your forum is in. Change it back to what it was unless you moved directories.

Ok,

I tried changing my base url to http://www.website.com because that is the location that forum.php is now located. However this did not solve the problem. Is there another way I can find the problem?

Thanks

Ok, I think I found the problem. I didn't see the trailing / that was left in my base_url.   So instead of http://www.website.com   I had  http://www.website.com/

Changing this fixed the problem.
