ufcwyjst Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) Hey Folks, Really strange, I'm trying to login to my admin site to fix some info on my new PHPBB. I try to login and it takes me to http://www.delphiforums.com/ when I try to login as an admin??!! I'm obviously logged in because when I go back to the forum, I have the option to logout. I was thinking that perhaps it was a problem with the PHPBB theme but it is one of the themes that is a verified for general release... http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=255014 ... and now, even if I want to set it back to a default PHPBB theme, I can't...lol... I can't even get to the admin site as it takes me to the delphi forum location. Anything to check or just reinstall? Thanks!! edit: the site is: www.kodoclan.com/forums Yes, I've cleared my browser cache, cookies, etc. In Firefox I get the delphi forums, in Internet Explorer I simply get a "The page cannot be displayed" "Cannot find server" message. Thanks! Edited September 26, 2005 by kodo Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Welcome to the forums. I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Hang tight and someone should be able to answer soon. Quote
TweezerMan Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Welcome to the forums, kodo! I'm not sure exactly where the problem is, but something in your forums isn't set up right. When I click on the "Log in to check your private messages" link: >http://www.kodoclan.com/forums/privmsg.php?folder=inbox ...that script is returning a redirect to the following URL: >http:///forums/login.php?redirect=privmsg.php&folder=inbox I believe Internet Explorer quits here with "Cannot find server or DNS Error", as 'http:///forums' isn't a valid URL or domain. Firefox continues however, by deciding to help you find the page you're looking for by submitting a search request for 'forums': >http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=forums The URL passed to Google is an "I'm feeling lucky!" query - Google searches for "forums" and you are instantly taken to the first link in the search results. That link happens to be the Delphi Forums. That's about all I can tell you, as I don't really know that much about phpBB forums. Quote
MikeJ Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 It looks like your redirect that happens when you attempt to access a page that you need to be logged in for (but aren't) is missing the site name info (causing what David sees above as well as the problem with accessing the admin section, at least if you are not logged in). For example: >$ lynx "http://www.kodoclan.com/forums/admin/" Looking up www.kodoclan.com Making HTTP connection to www.kodoclan.com Sending HTTP request. HTTP request sent; waiting for response. HTTP/1.1 302 Found Allowing this cookie. Allowing this cookie. Data transfer complete HTTP/1.1 302 Found Using http:///forums/login.php?redirect=admin/index.php&sid=61ce62fbefc6d6c68cc9b74e6e41663e Looking up Unable to locate remote host . alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. You can see the redirect to the login.php is missing the site name in the URL as David mentioned. This appears to be the case with anything that redirects to the login page. As for how to correct that or where phpBB stores that, I'm not as familiar with phpBB, so maybe someone else who's experienced with phpBB can expand on that... Anyway, Kodo, welcome to the forums from a fellow Kodo rider... Quote
