Geeklog Forums

I\'ve decided to do a fresh install of Geeklog 1.3.8 just to check up on it and it seems I am having a very difficult time at logging in. My entire server setup is the absolute same (Apache, PHP, MySQL) except now a new database for 1.3.8. When I enter the credentials (Admin - password) I can see that I am logged in under whos online but my admin panel never comes up. In fact the login box is still there and it is as if I am not logged in... Also, after a few attempts the whos online block goes back to guest users 1 and an attempt to login presents me with forgot your password. I see others are enjoying it and I never thought something like this would happen but it did. Can someone offer me some insight on this? Thank you

I was actually waiting for the first post like this The cookie handling has changed slighlty in Geeklog 1.3.8, thus you may experience problems when you still have the old cookies stored in your browser. So tip #1 would be to remove the cookies for your site and try logging in again. If that still doesn't resolve it, then tip #2 would be to set the $_CONF['cookiedomain'] variable in config.php to something like where "example.com" is your domain (notice there are two dots). bye, Dirk

Thank you Dirk, that solved the problem! I am in... Thanks again

I\'m seeing the same problem (among others). I\'ve set cookiedomian properly, but still get bounced back to the login screen. Besides that, I can\'t seem to get php to fire up sendmail (though I\'ve verified that sendmail is working form the command line). Apache 2.0.46 under OS/2 4.5.1 PHP 4.3.1 MySQL 4.0.1 under NetWare 6 SP3 Geeklog 1.3.8rc1 Any ideas? Something I can do to check to see if everything should be working (status, etc.)? Thanks! Lewis

And I am having the same problem. I am hosting the test site under my own machine and my cookie domain name cant be .site.com because its \"localhost:8090/geeklog-1.3.8/public_html\" so that didnt work and now I am still stuck. Sendmail says I am sending a message and norton antivirus checks the outgoing message for viruses but I am not getting any emails. wats goin on?

You can set \'cookiedomain\' to \"localhost\". Also make sure that you include the port number in the site_url variable. bye, Dirk

Hi Here is what I have in the siteurl: $_CONF[\'site_url\'] = \'http://localhost:8090/geeklog/public_html\'; The index.php file is in the public_html directory. Is this path correct?

Looks okay, as far as I can tell from here ... bye, Dirk

I went through everything...its not letting me log in. I put Admin and password and its just clicking away but nothing is happening. What else can be wrong?

I have the same problem. Heres Whats going on with Debug on.
---- DEBUG ----
loginname [Admin]


passwd [password]

not sure if this is normal.
My Brain Hurts Now haha. Rockstar n' Halo will fix that

I had the same problem when I first installed Geeklog. I thought it was just my computer settings.

To fix it I dumped all cookies and temp files then closed my browser and rebooted. Worked fine for me. The next time I logged in the admin panel was there.

Tried that. HAHA that was the first thing i tried.
Iv tried Everything in the forums. I know cookies work.
They work for phpmyadmin. It must be how geeklog
works on sending them. Iv tried differnt browsers
Explorer/safari i dont even recieve a cookie.
i even turned off the encryption feature nuttin is working.
I am using A fresh install/updated version of panther.
Could this be the cause. I dought it thou.

The Cookies Are Being Sent

the .local is one out of many attempts to set the url.
I have a router/dsl modem with port forwarding set to
my server. So That shouldnt be the problem cus
im getting cookies from geeklog.net its self. Maybe im wrong.

Hello,

I believe this is noted with the developers but am not sure. It seems Geeklog doesn't like a machines name. e.g. it doesn't like "mymachine" but it loves "127.0.0.1".

In other words, unfortunately at the moment and I am not sure if Geeklog has addressed the issue, you'll most likely have to network with your IP address and not your machines name...

So "mymachine" doesn't work whereas "192.168.0.24" would be good for a network setup. This includes "localhost". Simply do not use your machines name and neither use "localhost". Supplement them with either your loopback "127.0.0.1" or a network IP like "192.168.*".

Good luck!

The Rendezvous name for the server may cause the problem here. See this thread.

bye, Dirk

Alright well i got cookies to get accepted.
Yet only Cookies for LastVisit n' LastVisitTemp
are being accepted/sent. the only way i could
get them was to not set the:
// Make sure this is the correct URL to your site, i.e. to where Geeklog's
// index.php file resides (no trailing slash).
$_CONF['site_url'] = '';

with

$_CONF['cookie_ip'] = 0;
$_CONF['default_perm_cookie_timeout'] = 604800; //604800
$_CONF['session_cookie_timeout'] = 7200; //7200
$_CONF['cookie_path'] = '';
$_CONF['cookiedomain'] = ''; // e.g. '.example.com'
$_CONF['cookiesecure'] = 0;

this is the only way i get a cookie.
even with my httpd.conf up with a server name.
im running out of idea's im close to ending the problem
with a little help. thanks for the help.
(edit)
could this be caused by the way Apache handles cookies
now. I'v tried it with usertrack on n' off it has the same effect.
After this is all figured out im going to make an OSX package
for this stuff.

Alright so i found out what the problem was
I HAD DEBBUG ON. LOL...
I dont know that it is a feature to prevent login when debug is on. Either way it should be documented. I guess it is now.
ha. So all is good time to make that OSX Installer Package.
