Classified: Installed- doesn't let me log in

[Michael P]

With so many people writing, its hard to understand where to start or what to address or what versions people are using.

Are we talking about upgrades or new installs?

v2.1, the latest doesnt use cookie settings inside the config-inc.php. During the upgrade, these were moved into the database. Once this is done, I recommend you Edit Config from the Admin and check/save your settings so that you get an updated config-inc.php in place.

During the upgrade, did you get any errors? You should have only run it once and it moves the settings from your config-inc.php into the database.

During the install, it would take you through the steps and then ask you for your cookie information.

By the way, unless you need it, I recommend the domain be set to "" (blank).

During the upgrade, these were moved into the database.

For whatever reason, this did not happen during my upgrade but I fixed it (filled in the blanks) via phpmyadmin so things are fine now.

My server has had both Photopost and Classifieds installed previously (though at different sites, I only mention it to remove any thoughts of server issues).

The install I am having serious issue with is a new one:

Where I see alot of issue is when people overwrite there config file when upgrade tells them not to. Then of course the upgrade script cant find any cookie values to enter.

You would need to edit the database settings table and settings 181-183 to place the proper cookie settings.

If this is a vb integration most likely your gonna want this

cookie path /

cookie domain blank

cookie prefix bb

This is a clean install, and I shouldn't have to edit database variables. Even so, I tried the suggestions and continue to have the same problems. So either the install routine is seriously borked, or the setup directions are leaving out crucial information (is a trailing '/' required? Or isn't it?)

Still waiting for even an acknowledgement of these issues from the developers...

I'd just buy install services (akin to blackmail), but the rules for that seems to be for UNIX servers, not Win2K.

I'd LIKE to promote this as a new site feature in the next issue of my magazine, but at this point I'm just sitting twiddling my thumbs and posting rants into these forums. Why this application continues to have issues with something as basic as placing a cookie is beyond me. (ever try to move the URL of one of these installs? Not for the feint of heart)

Okay, got it working (it seems).

Had to add 'bb' to the table. It appears as though the setup is instead placing the cookie value in the paypal db table.

also had to edit showproduct.php

define( THIS_SCRIPT, "showproduct" );

changed to:

define( 'THIS_SCRIPT', "showproduct" );

and changed config-int.php:

define(VB3_INTEGRATION, 'on');
define(VB3_ENHANCEDINT, 'off');
define(VB3_COMMWYSIWYG, 'off');
define(VB2_INTEGRATION, 'off');
define(VBP2_INTEGRATION, 'off');

to..

define('VB3_INTEGRATION', 'on');
define('VB3_ENHANCEDINT', 'off');
define('VB3_COMMWYSIWYG', 'off');
define('VB2_INTEGRATION', 'off');
define('VBP2_INTEGRATION', 'off');

(yeah, added the single-quotes)

Also, clearer explinations in the admin interface would be nice for future additions.
