Geeklog Forums

Here is a new one, which I haven't seen before. I have a fresh installation of Geeklog 1.3.7sr1, and it works fine. Except for one thing. When I try to do backups, I get to the backup page, but when I press the "Do Backup" button, my browser tries to get the page Why does it go to www.admin.com? I haven't been able to find this in any script. Before you ask, yes the path to mysqldump is correctly configured: So, what'ss wrong here?

When you press the button, the page is suppose to reload itself and pass via the post method that you want to do a backup. It uses $PHP_SELF for the reload. It looks like your server is having problems recognizing that built-in variable.

Duh!
Well, of course it has problems with PHP_SELF, and I should have thought of that. As for why it has problems, se my comment about endless loop. The question is, is there an easy way to modify Geeklog so that it doesn''t depend on PHP_SELF, but always uses the site name?

Just do a search across the files then replace that variable. You probably should look for $HTTP_SERVER_VARS too because the section of code causing your looping problem uses $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'] not $PHP_SELF. There isn't that many GL core files which use these. Excluding the language files, I would say maybe half a dozen.

The database.php one is easy to fix. Just change this line replacing $PHP_SELF with the name of the URL to that file. Why don't you add this to the bug list so it doesn't get lost.

Ok, i sybmitted a bug request. The fix is: $display .= '<form name="dobackup" method="post" action="' . $_CONF['site_admin_url'] . '/database.php' . '">'; I hope this helps somebody.
