Need Help - Unrecoverable Error

WarDog · August 16th, 2012, 08:52 AM

Chuck,

Running vB4.2.0 PL2 & 5.1

I was in admincp and click on forum settings and added this [http://mysite.org/classified/data] in the data box.

Now I get this error "We're sorry, but the system experienced an unrecoverable error. Please try again later." I cant view the classified ads and I cant get back into the admincp to delete that url I put in the data box under forum settings.

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

You had to have changed something else I would think without knowing it as changing a url would not crash a system it would only make your images non viewable if the url is wrong.

You can try editing pp-inc.php and finding this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

change it to this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You should then after making the edit and uploading the changed file be able to tell me what the true error is.

Chuck I didn't change a URL, I added one in a blank box in forum or form settings in admincp.

I made your edit in pp-inc.php but ended up with this error:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

There is your error plain as day thanks

It appears you put a url in the box where it asks for the forum table prefix

You can fix that by doing a query against the classifieds settings table or manually entering the proper variable whichever is best for you.

UPDATE cp_settings SET setting='' WHERE id=83

That fixed it Chuck

I seen that earlier in the DB in settings 5 and 83. I wasn't sure which one to change or should I change one or both so I didn't change anything thinking I might muck up something.

Thanks a hundred times over and you have a good day.

Yeah you have to be careful when changing things. You physically had to actually change that setting to that url which is what mucked up things. Those are two separate things in the program no idea why you where trying to change the data url in the forum settings in admin.

To tell ya the truth I've had some complaints from members about when they are not logged in and goto the classified home page and login from there they get this error:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

--I cant figure this out and why it's doing that.

Maybe if your using vbulletin a whitelist thing or some other feature that doesn't allow redirect urls outside vb. Not sure I use vb4 and do not get that with my site so it could be a setting your using.

You can ask vb as that is something coming from there coding. If it is a setting that is in conflict we might be able to set a global setting to tell vb to turn it off.

Is the classifieds url different than the forum more info would be needed on your setup for me to suggest something.

I have nothing in a whitelist. My site is pretty well like your reeftalk site.

When you login from classifieds hompage it redirects to

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and then the VB error is displayed. It should login user and return to classified homepage.

I don't know of any place I have something turned off in vB 4.2.0 --Do you have any suggestions for me to look at?

I can not say as I am not an expert on every last vb option here. The error your talking about is from vbulletin and there seems to be lots of talk there about this

Thanks Chuck, I'll get a support ticket to vB about the matter.

Chuck S · August 16th, 2012, 01:51 PM

Did you try what they suggested in the thread I linked you on their site? There seems to be many threads on the search term Invalid Redirect URL

Under site url info in vb admin

make sure your forum url is set.

make sure you set always use forum url as base url to yes

all the component urls empty

That is how I have things setup.

Yep, I've got it set up just like you say.

My website root is

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

a member can login from any forumpage without problems. Everything is redirected as it should be.
It's only when you goto

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and login you will not be redirected without getting VB error. While viewing error you can click a tab to forum or photo gallery it really makes no difference. You can click classified tab again and bang you're logged in.

Chuck S · August 16th, 2012, 02:19 PM

Yeah well I can not say that is there error so they should be able to respond. I can only say how I have mine setup.

WarDog · August 16th, 2012, 02:24 PM

I understand...

Chuck S · August 16th, 2012, 03:44 PM

yeah its probally something simple. It has to be because of some setting in vb.

Hello,

I'm sorry, but we do not support modifications. You will need to ask the developers of Photopost to help with the error you are getting on their pages.

I knew this crap was going to be the case when I sent the support ticket. Screw it I'll just live with it!!!

Chuck S · August 16th, 2012, 04:25 PM

LOL they are unreal aren't they. They are the most unfriendly company I know of. They do not even know the meaning of customer service. The question you have has nothing to do with a mod.

I will look at your settings to compare them to how I have things set if you want but I would need that info.

WarDog · August 16th, 2012, 04:33 PM

Thanks Chuck, I just sent you login info via your contact us form.

Chuck S · August 16th, 2012, 05:03 PM

Your issue was very easy once I saw how you set things up. It was starring you in the face and you did not see it.

Your forum was installed on

http://www.yoursite.com/forum

your classifieds was installed on

http://yoursite.com/classifieds

Those are two entirely separate domains which is why vb was yelling at you. That thread I noted earlier went into that. You had said they where installed on the same domain so that is why I said ask them.

They still are the worst for support.

Just an FYI coming soon for classifieds once I wrap up Reviewpost anytime

New plugin system !!!
