English User Help / Installer Help / An Error Has Occurred! Invalid referring si

[dennismcd]

Same old story you think you've cracked it and every things gone perfectly during the install.

Then wham!

An error occurs which has no support on the site and has you foaming at the mouth with maddness. Because you know other people have got it to work with no problem at all.

Does any one know why I keep getting this error message?

An Error Has Occurred! Invalid referring site.

Do you use redirection?  (cjb, etc.)

If so, you'll either need to modify the code, and make it less secure (:/), or not use redirection.

No I'm not using re-direction

and $sourcedir is pointing to the right Dir.

It doesn't make any sense it works for another website of mine but not this one and they are both running on the same server (different accounts).

I'm going crazy and people in the office are getting scared.

Please provide a URL for the site that does not work.

Before applying the following patch, please realize that it DECREASES THE SECURITY OF YOUR FORUM.

Subs.php, remove:

Code Select Expand

   $referer = parse_url($HTTP_REFERER);

   if (strpos($HTTP_HOST,':'))
      $rhost = substr($HTTP_HOST,0,strpos($HTTP_HOST,':'));
   else
      $rhost = $HTTP_HOST;

   if (strlen($referer['host']) && strlen($rhost) && strtolower($referer['host']) != strtolower($rhost))
      fatal_error($txt['yse306']);

tried that and got this

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/preview/allnew929.com/webroot/live-feed/yabbse/Sources/Subs.php on line 1

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clicklog() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/preview/allnew929.com/webroot/live-feed/yabbse/index.php on line 56


I think I might look for something else. Thing is more work than its worth.

Hmph.  Your problem is your host...

You didn't modify the file properly btw... you messed something up on line 1....

Attitude plays a role when receiving support for free software.........

Hopefully you're still willing to use this forum's software... I've emailed you a patched Subs.php.
