Cannot login to back end admincp

Looks like using tools to reset something worked.... for now.

[slinky]

I upgraded to 4.3 and still it won't login to the back end. I tried everything, even disabling addons.

[slinky]

I disabled ajax and that seems to be working. Not a great fix but at least it's working. Good catch Paul - just looked and it's 4.2.2b4. Perhaps the update may help. Thanks.

Well, the colors look much nicer than the deathly bland ones before. That's a welcome change.

I'm still using vBulletin 4. Unfortunately with PHP 5.4 enabled I can't login to the back end...

Thanks Mark - nothing worked except to downgrade PHP back to 5.3. I had intermittent issues with PHP 5.4 that cropped up and this is the only remedy that worked for now. I'll need to move to PHP 5.4 shortly...

I'll solve this debate -- it's a serious design flaw. The fact that it doesn't return the appropriate status code at this late date - 404 - is quite mind boggling. And the proof that it's a serious design...

My navbar_link template appears standard. The only way this will work is to put in a custom URL for the forum as www.site.tld/forums/index because the software tacks on a ".php" onto the end....

[slinky]

Another solution, works even better.

$this->script = "http://www.yoursite.tld/forums/";

[slinky]

OK - That is in class_friendly_url.php -- and there is code that needs to be changed. Don't know if it is a bug but it is on my site in standard breadcrumbs.

Nope - not working. And I'm finding that posts are suddenly "getting stuck." I'll reply and then I'll get a blank page. I'll back out and go to the thread and see that there is a double post....

Great Idea, Mark, but didn't work. Here's the issue. It must be in the navbar_link template:

<vb:if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">
<li class="navbit"><a...

[slinky]

OK - thanks. I guess we'll see if it works, right?

[slinky]

1. The forumhome URL setting is empty.

2. The navbar is styled - but whatever was done worked with 4.2.2 PL1. I upgraded because I thought it was supposed to stop the double posting issue...

[slinky]

I just added that 10 minutes ago and saw it -- but with this prevent double posting or will it just suppress error messages?

[slinky]

As per the latest version I can see - 4.2.2 PL4 the latest. Uploaded all files, overwrite.

[slinky]

I remembered not upgrading to PHP 5.4 because vBulletin 4 would double post. I was told this was fixed. However I'm getting massive double posting issues again and I also had to suppress PHP errors as...

[slinky]

This may have to do with legacy work done from way back in 4.0.x. I overwrote all files with the latest vBulletin 4 package. Take a look at the navigation.

Here's a good one. I can't figure out why adding an extra directory to the calendar results in a URL that works. There is nothing in my .htaccess that would allow this nor does it make any logical sense....

[slinky]

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the update....

[slinky]

Wayne - thanks for the reply. I figured out what happened. I changed my email address here in the forum to a different one that I'm now using to administrate accounts too so that they will receive notifications...
