[Forum] vBulletin 4.2 & Facebook Error

[Michael B]

To begin with, there were no issues with the forum and the ability to log into it via Facebook. Out of nowhere, users that were logged in already through the Facebook Connect via cookie were receiving the error below. As a temporary fix, I had to disable the Facebook Connect ability in the AdminCP entirely. I double checked the Facebook App ID/Secret and even reset it but to no avail. What is causing this issue?

Your webhost doesn't have its webserver configured correctly to allow your website to store session data. Based on the specific errors, it sounds like you're on godaddy, they're webhosting is sub-par at best, we do not recommend anyone use them as a webhost.

I'm not hosted on GoDaddy but an actually legit known host. I'll contact CrocWeb for this issue then

After speaking with my web host and troubleshooting it when them, the issue is not on their end. They also noted another one of their clients on the same server utilizes vB 4.2 (but wouldn't supply a link...privacy I guess) and they are not experiencing this issue.

Check that the tmp folder path is correct, that the tmp folder exists and it's CHMOD 777

Host's response to that, "We have already verified that."
