[RP 3.0] Has anyone had any luck doing a fresh install with vB3 integration?
 

Fresh installation for a client with vB3 integration and cannot get into the admin section. Everything works from the front end, but when clicking on the admin link, I get taken to a reviewpost login screen. At this screen, it accepts my admin username/password, but then kicks me back out to the frontend AND logs me out.

So cookies are working in the frontend but not the backend (if it is a cookie issue at all). I have deleted cookies several times.

All parameters asked for during the installation process are correct 100% (same result after 3 tries).

I installed the latest photopost and classifieds with vB3 integration as well today w/o any problems.

Has anyone had any luck doing a fresh install with vB3 integration?

This is the number one problem people have in Photopost

Whats your cookie prefix?? Should be bb by default.

I run VB3 right here

I also did a clean install with VB 3.5 on my test site

Check the cookie prefix and VB license number make sure its not customer number. If either of these two are incorrect you will not be able to get into admin

OK,

I used phpmyadmin to look at the settings. The cookie prefix setting was empty... somehow I think when installing the application, that setting is not taking properly because I am 100% sure I put bb each time.

Anyways, once that was done, the admin section is accessible, thanks.

I did note in the database settings that the version number is 2.91... that needs to be fixed.

Also note that the integration being done is with vB 3.0.8 NOT vB 3.5 beta/RCx... you might want to try an additional test installation with that version and see is you can replicate what I am saying concerning the cookie prefix.

Did not have any issue with a fresh install this is right in the install file

foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $id=>$setting) {
$setting = stripslashes($setting);
$setting = str_replace( "\\", "/", $setting );

if ($id == "id11") {
$len = strlen($setting)-1;
if ( $setting[$len] == "/" ) $setting[$len] = " ";
$setting = trim($setting);
}

if ($id == "id6") {
$len = strlen($setting)-1;
if( $setting[$len] != "/" ) $setting = "$setting/";
}

$id = str_replace( "id", "", $id );
if ( is_numeric( $id ) ) {
$setting = addslashes( $setting );

$query = "UPDATE {$rp_db_prefix}settings SET setting='$setting' WHERE id=$id";
$resulta = mysql_query($query, $link)or die( "Failed MySQL Query: [$link]:$query<br />Error: " . mysql_error() );
}
