Topic: Heaps of strange things

Okey there is somthing really wrong with my forum which i just got installed.
For some reason nothing seems to refresh after i've made a change. Is there something i have to do?

Also when i login as administrator and then view a page it no longer shows me as logged in but then again sometimes it does.

What could be wrong should i start again?

If so how do you remove the contents of a postgresql database so that is back to being empty again?

Info it's a fresh install of the newest version of punBB

Php is version 4.3.1
postgre 7.3.2

Could you post a link to the forums in question?

I thought it might have been my browser but issue happens with both Firefox 1.03 and IE6.

Clearing the firefox cache seems to allow me to see any cahnges that have been made but if i change anything else it goes back to square one.

Thanks

Re: Heaps of strange things

My issue sounds slightly like http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=7229 except that it happens in firefox and IE...

If anyone could help out a poor university student *Displays empty pockets* :-) that would be greatly appreciated... if actually prayed I?d put you in my prayers or something

Re: Heaps of strange things

I can't login at all. What are you cookie settings in config.php? Try changing cookie_name to something else.

Re: Heaps of strange things

Changed cookie nmae issue still persists. I do seem to get this error a lot "Bad request. The link you followed is incorrect or outdated." origernaly i thought this was just when clicking on things that i had already deleted in admin (like i said when i change anything including but not limited to write a post reply to a post edit a reply delete a reply log on, log off the changes will not become apparent untill i clear the browser cache) i just got the error when trying to post a reply.

this is my config.cache

<?php

$db_type = 'pgsql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'pubforum';
$db_username = 'xxxxxxxx';
$db_password = 'xxxxxxxxx';
$db_prefix = '';
$p_connect = false;

$cookie_name = 'teambcookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = 'e6fde9c4';

define('PUN', 1);

Re: Heaps of strange things

Just for fun, try setting cookie_domain to:

$cookie_domain = '.ballarat.edu.au';

Re: Heaps of strange things

YES! I know what the problem with this is I think! big_smile
I had a problem like this on a board of mine. I think the issue was with mod_cache not being configured properly or something along those lines.
I'm taking a look at the HTTP requests and that seems to be exactly what's happening: the action of whatever happened before is being cached and re-played over and over./

Re: Heaps of strange things

ok thats a start so we are talking about mod_cache in the Apache sever correct? What should it be configured to?

ps. I re intalled the whole forum onto a mysql DB and the issue still exists so i am posistve now that it is somthing outside of punBB (not that i ever doubted Rickard's superam programing power :-P)

Re: Heaps of strange things

Erm, if you can, disable it first and see if that helps?
