Why can I not stay logged in?

[Seoman_rus]

I can not solve the same problem. I use IE and Opera, I see my cookies, everything is fine. I have a fine version of php. I tried everything to solve that. I can register, I can log in, but when i go to the next page, forum does not recognize mycookies and sets me to guest!
Could you help me? Forgot to tell: YaBB up to 1.5.1 worked fine for me. The url of my forum is http://seoman.d2.ru?board=;
Forum is integrated into the site but i did not change much. HELP!

Registered into your board and was also logged out. Can you post a link to your phpinfo?

http://seoman.d2.ru/info.php - Here my phpinfo() lies...

Thats the reason: PHP Version 4.0.6

Ok. Administrator of my server does not want to install the latest version of php so I will have to reinstall YaBBSE 1.5.1.....

Dont reinstall 1.5.1 (for security reasons) there is somewhere floating a mod around how you can get the login working with old php version. Just use the search function...

I already know about getpackage.php... I was hacked throw it. So I know what to delete

Thats not sufficient. Dont believe you can add all security fixes manually. Stay on 1.5.3 which is strongly recommended and look for that login fix.

[Seoman_rus]

I do not belive that i can fix it but i can remove unnessesary files
Ok, if i will will find anything to fix login then I will reinstall it again. Thanx

Better move to another host when you cannot fix the login than to downgrade. Your responsibility, you were told to stay on 1.5.3.

Lets end that discussion in this thread here. This is a FAQ thread, open a support request in the other help or in the installer help forum, somebody will help you to find that login mod code.

Edit: This code should fix the login problem for YaBB SE 1.5.3 on PHP 4.0.6:

jo,

dazu stand mal was bei den engländern oben
ich bilde mir ein das es die funktion load_cookie betrifft, war irgentwas einzutragen, ich weiß aber nichmehr genau was, drum poste ich mal die ganze fnkt. her, wie sie bei mir läuft:

Code Select Expand

function LoadCookie()
{
 global $password, $username, $cookiename, $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;

 if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename]))
 {
     list($username, $password) = @unserialize(stripslashes($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookiename]));
     $username = ($username != "") ? $username : 'Guest';
 }
       else
       {
               $password = '';
               $username = 'Guest';
       }
}

You have to replace the function LoadCookie by the above code.

Modified my previous reply, added a description for the login fix for old php versions (should work until YaBB SE 1.5.3 for PHP 4.0.6).

[Seoman_rus]

At last! Thank you very much! Could you ask administrators to use your version for old php?
