Topic: mod changing admin name (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I know I saw a post about this already but I can't find it now. But anyway I made a mod account and then went to User List, clicked on the Admin name and was sucessful at changing the admin's name with mod powers. You can't change the admin password but changing the name is still annoying.
I'm glad all my mods are IRL friends. I can just walk over to their house and hurt them if they mess with that bug but it sucks for other people that has punbb open to public. 8(

UPDATE: Problem fixed. It was Firefox. I opened up IE (which I hate using) and I was able to change options without getting the http_referer error.
I wonder what in Firefox needs tweaking....
Mad respect to Rickard. Thanks for the help!!!!

I got the http_referer error trying to make your name an ADMIN so you'll have to use my name. Check your mail. Thanks for the help so far.

Email would be ideal since I'd rather not have my IP posted in public.

Nope, never used Opera.
WIN32 (WindowsME)
Firefox 0.9.3
Apache 2.0.50
MySQL 4.0.20a
PHPMyAdmin 2.5.7
PHP 5.0.1
PunBB 1.1.5
Nothing else running except systray, explorer and dialup adapter.
I just woke up, going to try and tweak some stuff again in PunBB. If I can't get it working sometime today I give up on this untill after the weekend.
Time to bust out the caffeine again. 8)

Take it easy on me I'm a newbie! 8)
Reinatlled PunBB again (like the 6th time, LOL), logged in as admin.
Then I clicked on 'admin', clicked on 'show info' next to PHP (is this the page you wanted me to check?). Did a quick search for _SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] but nothing poped up. So I manually searched the phpinfo() page and still didn't find it. So next I looked for 'admin_index.php' on the page and found a reference to 'admin_index.php' under Apache Environment and PHP Variables but nothing about HTTP_REFERER. Couldn't find any reference to base_url either. I looked under the PHP Variables and found my IP listed in many places on there but there wasn't a _SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] anywhere on that page.
I then backed out and went to admin>options>base url and its the same I entered at install:
http://00.000.000.00/bbs (my real static IP instead of zeros ofcourse) and even when I install PunBB as just localhost while offline I still get the same bad http_referer.
When I try any of the admin options (Categories, Forums, Users, Options, Permissions, Censoring, Ranks, Bans, Prune, Maintenance, Reports) I still get the same bad http_referer message.
Oh and and this 6th reinstall I had a 'Guest' user that registered on 1969-12-31! ROFL! And it has my admin name registered twice. I'm totally confused about all this. Sigh. 8(

Re: INFO: Bad HTTP_REFERER (180 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
When I log in as admin and go to admin/options or other admin features I get this:
Bad HTTP_REFERER. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source. Please go back and try again. If the problem persists please make sure that 'Base URL' is correctly set in Admin/Options and that you are visiting the forum by navigating to that URL.

PunBB 1.1.5
WIN32
PHP 5.0.1
MySQL 4.0.20a
Base URL: http://00.000.000.00/bbs
I enter PunBB through http://00.000.000.00/bbs (keeping IP private for obvious reasons)
I am not using a firewall or any anti-popup type software, the only icon in my system tray is the dialup icon. CTRL-ALT-DEL shows all that is running is the server software (apache/mysql), systray and explorer. I have nothing blocking HTTP referer. I am using Firefox with the popup option in it turned off but with Javascript and Cookies enabled.
Also I am not behind a router, hub or any other hardware. Just a direct connection to the net via dialup.
What am I doing wrong?
