Geeklog Forums

My site work fine until yesterday.

At this moment I can't login as Admin or as a normal user
I'm using mozilla, Oper, Galeon and konqueror and nothing...

error.log say

"Failed to set session cookie"
access.log don't register anything

(both are chmod 0777 and also logs/ )

Where I must find the trouble?

I update the site to 1.3.9rc1

Any ideas?


PD: I read all the FAQ and the forum questions about the trouble but I can't find where to solve the problem (in the config.php? in lib-xxx ?)

register in php.ini is on

I need help

This is the last time that I reinstall geeklog

Support is horrible and nobocy can tell me where to search about the troubleshooting

I can run with minimals troubles phpnuke, postnuke, xoom, tikiwiki and others but geeklog is the worst about support and help

tnx in advance at alls

I have to wonder how you come to this conclusion after having asked 2 questions (and you did get an answer to your previous question about the weather block).

The message "Failed to set session cookie." indicates that PHP's setcookie() function returned an error. Which, according to the PHP manual, indicates that output started before the setcookie call.

In other words: It sounds like you have whitespace at the beginning or end of a file somewhere (typically config.php or lib-common.php). Which is also coverd in the FAQ that you said you have read ...

bye, Dirk

Not whitespaces at the end of the config.php nor lib-common.php

Before the posts I read all the FAQ and search inside all the sections., but I can't find anything

I'm not so stupid to make a question w/o read the documentation

When I asked about weather plugin I really did not read the config.php of weather and at that moment I suppose that a hacker or an intruder came on inside my site and sent that advertise about the uninstallation

That was my first installation of geeklog and of course, I newbie about the structure and configuration

Then, after watching all over the site, I make a question because the answer is not here

At this moment I didn't know why after a week I couldn't login as admin not as normal user
not whitespace, not register off of php

I'm not aware of any other login problems besides those mentioned in the FAQ.

I guess a URL to your site would help ...

bye, Dirk

Let me know if you need any thing

It happen after timeout

That's the access.log

User tried to illegally access the content syndication administration screen.
Obviously the who is online block say that the Admin is logged in

You definitely have extra whitespace in one of your files.

I'd suggest you check config.php and lib-common.php again one more time. If you did edit any other files (lib-custom.php, maybe?), then check those for whitespace, too.

If that doesn't help, you could try and upload all of Geeklog's PHP files again. The problem doesn't have anything to do with the theme, so you can leave that as it is.

HTH

bye, Dirk

No. Not whitespace.
I edit it via pico and via ftp
There aren't blank spaces after ?> nor config,php; lib-common.php and lib-custom.php

When I reisntall all it work fine but after a time (when the system log me out) nobody can log in

I had a little chat with your webserver. And this is what it sent me:
There are two empty lines between the Content-Type header and the actual content. One is required by HTTP, the second comes from your Geeklog install. And that second line is causing the problems (as explained above and in the FAQ).

I know that it's hard to track down, but it must be in one of the files on your site.

Did you, for example, transfer the files in text or in binary mode?

bye, Dirk

At this moment I'm reinstalling all

But I suppose that the trouble is locate in the different structures of the stories table btw v.1.3.8 and 1.3.9

The old have 7 index and the new only 5

When I copy the old to the new I make a drop table. Then,of course, I copy the structure of the "old"

I know that it is important but may be the cause of the troubleshooting?

Not sure what you mean. The stories table hasn't changed between 1.3.8 and 1.3.9 and the number of indexes on that table certainly has nothing to do with your problems ...

When upgrading from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9, you should run the install script in upgrade mode and it will handle any database changes automatically.

bye, Dirk

Did you, for example, transfer the files in text or in binary mode?

I transfer the tar.gz via midnight commander and then untar it via shell

Yes the first time, but when the system crash (don't work) I copy the mains tables to another DB and make a flush to reinstall all.

Stories tables came back with 2 new indexes

I can announce that the whitespaces exists !!!

It was in the weather plugin config.php

Well there was at least in my case too.
Similar situation. error.log says "Failed to set a session cookie" and I couldn't log in.
In addition I got this Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent (output started at /ww/ww/plugins/stats/language/english.php and guess what ... there was additional white space at the very end of this file. Yes sir there was.
So in such cases: "Always look for a white space ..."
