Topic: Multiple servers, mysql woes (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Everything seemed to be running just in our loadbalanced, multiple server test, but now that we've migrated the databases and have a few days of real use on it, something seems to be croaking.
* The scripts are updating the database accordingly
* All cache directories are 777
* The cache seems to be the source of some of the problems.
1. when i log in, sometimes it tells me (& other users) that my password is incorrect... other times it logs in w/o issue.
2. when a setting is changed in the admin/options menu, I get similar behavior... sometimes it goes right through, other times it tells me that the cache directory isn't writeable by php (confused - double checked cache directories)
3. I'm unable to disable the boards... the database is correct, but it doesn't seem to work.
4. I've tried clearing the cache directories on each of the machines to no avail.
5. SQL queries that I don't understand are remaining in the process list & seemingly stalling the database machine. This is what phpmyAdmin looks like:
6. Any help would be MUCH appreciated... i'm struggling to even disable the board at this point 
7. btw, the board was running fine over the weekend... just started to barf this morning... any thoughts?
thanks.

anyone? I'm having a similar problem? Could it be that in the upgrade to 1.2.5 this broke?
What version was the converter originally written for... perhaps I could try it on that version - thanks.

I'm not ready to give up on this forum just yet, because imo it kicks serious ass..
Anyway, I reinstalled yet again on the dev box and decided to see what was going on in the database end of it.
- I can log in sucessfully on my first try... it allows me to enter posts and I can see these if I'm @ this url: viewtopic.php?pid=8, but when I back out to the forum view, the posts don't show.
- the database contains all the data... everything seems to be updating correctly in the DB
- I can't log out, even when I click log out, it shows that I'm still logged in (but won't let me do some actions, for example, within the Admin section)
- i can access all the entered data if I manually go to them via the URL, but the main topic listing isn't updated... nor is the forum list.
Any thoughts?
THANKS ... I really appreciate the help.

I feel like i'm doing something really STUPID, because punbb works on both my staging server & my dev server... I wonder what the issue could be
sigh.
I guess my dev server's a little clogged... I wonder if rebuilding it to mirror my staging/live environment would be a good idea.

might "register globals" have anything to do with it?

anyone? after 2 days, i'm about to give up on punbb
If you could just answer the qestions in the last post it might allow me to further debug my dev machine - thanks

Re: log in problems... searched & can't solve the problem. (16 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
ok... so it's working on my production server(s) no problem, but I just spent the entire day trying to debug the dev server with no luck.
I'm still getting stuck @ the log in stage...
1. I log into the forum, it sets a cookie from the appropriate domain
2. I'm refreshed to the index where i see the logged in menu (with the Administration link)... similarly when I'm within Administration section.
3. when I go to User List / Search / Profile, I get the not logged in menu with the Log in link.
4. when I click the logout link, I get sent to the forum index but my status still shows as not logged in.

in addition to trying what I tried in the first post, I cleared the cache and reinstalled a number of times.
---
I have a few questions...
1. Are there any PHP configurations settings that might cause issues with the login?
(would taking a look @ my phpinfo help in the diagnosis? if so, I can email it to you.)
2. What access does the db account require? I assume those required to create & run the install arent' the same as required to operate the forum on a day-to-day basis.
thanks - any help would be greatly appreciated - @ a loss here

it seems to work just fine with my production server... I'll have to debug the dev server myself...
thanks!

Topic: log in problems... searched & can't solve the problem. (16 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I use phpbb on my forum and I've had my fill! That software has caused so many headaches!
Anyway, I installed punbb w/o any issues on my dev server... it uses the http://dev.domain.com convention but I get REALLY strange behavior when I attempt to actually log in, post & soforth.
When I log in, a cookie is set, I get the log in sucess screen/forward & then it refreshes to the index page w/ the 'login' link & the 'you are not logged in' text. When I click on a top nav link (like search for example) the administration navigation shows up and the logged status shows "logged in"...
When I make posts, they show up, but if I log out, they disappear... same goes with changes to the configuration of the site... they show up for a second and then disappear. I can't add forums, change categories on anything like that.
I thought it was the log in bug, but after searching the forums and trying several techniques, I still haven't had any luck.
I tried:
1. set the config $cookie_domain to:
'.domain.com'
'dev.domain.com'
''
2. I saw the FAQ talking about IE6 problems & the P3P... so I commented the // out of functions.php
3. tried deleting cookies
4. tried reinstalling in a different subdomain: dev2.domain.com
This is what the set cookies look like:
punbb_cookie
a%3A2%3A%7Bi%3A0%3Bs%3A1%3A%222%22%3Bi%3A1%3Bs%3A32%3A%22c26e87249e02895391ab365edb5ae8bd%22%3B%7D
domain.com/
1024
2278361600
29773525
624157696
29700099
*
(this is with the $cookie_domain set to '.domian.com' it shows dev.domain.com when it's set to '' or 'dev.domain.com')
any help with this would be appreciated not sure what else to try here.
I'm using IE6 and Firefox 1.0.1
thanks... I love what I've seen of pun & would like to use it exclusively with my website...
thanks!
