Tripod Help

[Carina]

Hi!

In the "swedish section" here I have been writing about a problem of mine. I have created an account (free) at www.tripod.spray.se:

http://medlem.spray.se/carinaost/yabbse/index.php

It was easy to set up the YaBB-forum (I´m using ver 1.4.1 - safe mode) but I do experience some difficulties with it.

When you try to register a new member you get the following information:

2: Cannot add header information - headers already sent
(/data/members/free/tripod/se/c/a/r/carinaost/htdocs/yabbse/Sources/Subs.php ln 1157)

If you then go back to YaBB the new member is there, but you get this annoying message!

Also, after posting, you are redirected to www.tripod.spray.se.

I´ve been reading here and I can see that some of you people have the same problem - at lycos. But I don´t find the fix for these problems that one person here gave a link to. Anyone knows where to find a fix?

What does that have to do with anything?


Make sure there are no lines after the ?> in Subs.php.

I have the exact same problem (on Lycos) with often getting tossed back to the tripod/lycos "free web page" signup screen.  It doesn't always happen, which is odd, but it makes forum admin/signup almost impossible to do consistently.

I checked subs.php... it was okay as far as the ?> having no lines after it.

I suppose I may have to save up some pennies and get a cheap pay-host instead, heh.  Setup was simple and the forum system is amazing, IMHO, I just suck at getting it to work well under Lycos/Tripod.

The "headers already sent" issue might disappiear when you disable output compression in the board setting.

For the redirect problem read here:

Please note that lycos does *not* run PHP but something own called PHP4U.

I will give the "disable output compression" a try, as well as looking into the redirect problem.  I'm downloading the board-mod program now from the post andrea sent me to.  Thanks andrea!  

I also guess I didn't get the distinction between PHP4U and PHP... I had foolishly thought it was just a more capable PHP run by a big-name host... now that I've actually checked more into it, I see just how correct you are!  

Ah well, you live you learn.
