Classified: Installed- doesn't let me log in

agiacosa · January 1st, 2005, 11:35 AM

I just installed Classifieds. adm-index.php says Log In successful but takes me back to adm-index.php. I can't get into the admin section. Please help.

A little information on your setup would help

what integration?

url to install etc

sounds to me like a cookie issue but lets take this one step at a time and I will respond when you give me something to work with

I'm having the same problem having just installed Classifieds 2.02 and correctly edited the header-inc.php:

vBulletin 3.0.4 and vbPortal 3 - Classifieds installed at http://scene-out.com/search/index.php

I'm thinking it may be a cookie problem... from config-inc.php:
$cookie_path = "/";
$cookie_domain = "scene-OUT.com";

criscokid · January 4th, 2005, 11:37 AM

Got the login bit sorted and as I suspected it was a cookie problem...

In config-inc.php I needed to change $cookieprefix from "" to "bb"

It's confusing because when you read the config-inc.php file it says the following:

// Cookie Prefix
// Right now this only applies to UBBThreads, phpBB2 or Nuke; if you have your cookies set to a custom
// prefix, set it here.
$cookieprefix="";

If the developers change this bit of text for future downloads it'll save a lot of unnecessary questions.

Trying to install 2.1

I've installed this program in the past, on other sites, and haven't had this problem where I couldn't get it fixed. This time I'm stumped.

Everything seems fine, but I'm getting the blasted login loop. However, I don't see any cookie references in the config file. I assume since this is 2.1 that's changed?

Anyhow, endless login loop with no idea where to check the cookie config (since I have experienced problems with cookies in the past as I've moved this same app from one domain to another...very similar situation here, only with a fresh install)

Okay, my NT server required this change:

define(VB3_INTEGRATION, 'on');
define(VB3_ENHANCEDINT, 'on');
define(VB3_COMMWYSIWYG, 'on');

to

define("VB3_INTEGRATION", 'on');
define("VB3_ENHANCEDINT", 'on');
define("VB3_COMMWYSIWYG", 'on');

and the member side now works with header integration and login. I can even check my CP. However, still can't login as an admin.

This is where my install is:
http://bbs.subiesport.com/class/

rd2711 · January 26th, 2005, 12:10 AM

Also, default install of

// Path to your PhotoPost Classifieds installation - no end slashes
$PP_PATH = ".";

had to be changed to...

// Path to your PhotoPost Classifieds installation - no end slashes
$PP_PATH = "D:\sites.live\ww2.drivingsports\htdocs\class";

before my end-user side would come up.

rd2711 · January 26th, 2005, 12:16 AM

Also, no matter if I have a blackslash or not in the config files for the data directory (tried a fresh install both ways) I still get this error on the end-user file upload:

Unable to move file [C:\PHP\uploadtemp\php462.tmp] [./data2/1freedvd.gif]

as you can see the latter path *probably* should read

[./data/2/1freedvd.gif]

so that seems to be hard-coded incorrectly somewhere.

Overall, seems like pretty flaky of a code release...even on the install it can't detect the proper paths from the VB install correctly. Gets it close, but not exact (I use "forums" not "forum"). Lots of other apps (even some free ones) don't have this issue, but I know this particular app has had issues like this for all the previous releases (including spelling errors in the install (are they in the code too?)--I was at least able to get it working before though.

Glad to see new features, but sheesh, get the code cleaned and tested. For $100 I should be able to open the install.php, hit a few buttons and be up and running--not trying to figure out what is a bug and what error may be my own.

My directory structure is like this, btw:

/htdocs/class/
/htdocs/forums/

fwiw

Running VB 3.0.3 currently clean of any other mods (with the exception of VBIndex).

I have the same problem after upgrading from 1.8 to 2.1. Login looping and can't login to the admin. vB3.0.5.

Martyn@BB · January 27th, 2005, 07:14 PM

Same issue here (vB 3.0.6, Photopost 4.86 & PP Classifieds 2.1). I am recognised, I get a welcome message, I can post an ad, but if I try to follow the admin link, I get a "login successful" message but get bounced back to the login prompt.

I checked the SQL settings in PhPMyAdmin and it says groupid=6, groupmane=administrators, cpacces=1, which is all as it should be.

Mikan · January 27th, 2005, 11:51 PM

Martyn, check Classified's MySQL table "Settings" and check id 182. Varname is cookieprefix and mine didn't have any value there. I updated that setting to "bb" (without quotes of course) and after that I was able to login.

shelbyforums · January 28th, 2005, 09:38 AM

I checked the SQL settings in PhPMyAdmin and it says groupid=6, groupname=administrators, cpacces=1. Also, I updated cookieprefix setting to bb. Still no luck logging in. Actually, it doesn't even give ma a link to log in, just to register...same for registered members. Accessing the adm-index.php sends me back in the looping login. But also, regular registered members are not logged in so as it stands right now, nobody can log in, nobody can post ads, and I can't get to the admin page. Btw, reviewpost and photopost are working fine.

batmon · January 28th, 2005, 03:58 PM

Use phpMyAdmin and go to your Classifieds "settings" table.

Look for ID = 181,182 and 183

Make sure your Values are correct and Section=13 (my was Section=12)
For 181, value= "/", section=13
For 182, value="bb" (or whatever you defined, same as PPPro), section=13
For 183, value=".mydomain.com" (where mydomain you be your actual domain name), section=13

Then, clear your browser cache, exit browser, and re-enter.

Works for me.

Done but still no luck. I know that correcting those should get me that much closer to having things work but I am still getting the login loop. Also, why is there no login prompt/link? All I have is "Home", "Search" and "Register". And why did the upgrade not carry those settings over? I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks for the help so far.

I'm experiencing the same problems - and to be honest after reading most of this forum have refrained from asking as the 'official' line doesn't always seems to be very helpful.

I own Photopost and Classifieds and expect a script to work... not see a release and then find that I have to edit database... alter files - after all this isn't 'Open Source' - we paid for it.

Unhappy you bet...

shelbyforums · January 28th, 2005, 04:57 PM

I doublechecked the settings in phpmyadmin, made another correction and things seem to be working fairly well now. I can log in and get to the admin page but when I log out Classifieds does not log me out. I'll try deleting the cookie again and see if that helps. batmon, your advice was very helpful...thanks!

Worked perfectly. Thankyou very much batmon.

I tried that earlier (during my other barrage of posts) and it didn't help the situation. (though mine is a fresh install)

How often do the "official" support guys check in here? It's now been 48-hours and not a single "yes, we're working on it" ...? I really would like to get this feature added and I don't always have the free time I have (er, had) availble this week...ugh...
