Hi Forum

I put the forum on a IIS 7.5 2008R2 server with SQL Server backend, a ssl (https) and asp.net framework/websites. Everything is working fine except for the administrator. when i log in and go to the admin control panel, issue start to happen. I get a security alert error

Your Admin Login Username and Password are not secure

I have a good password, according to the rules and tried new ones, but nothing worked. Its still shows no matter what i do.

Another issue is the Membership Admin. I navigate to that screen and i lose all CSS and images do not load. I looked at the Delete image and its pointing to a non-existent director ".../dforum_images/33delete.png". This directory and the image are not even in the zip file download - web_wiz_forums_v11.10.zip.

Can someone shed some light on these issue? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
Brian

Sorry keep hijacking my own thread. Also part of this admin woes is the issue of deleting members. It errors out every time i try.

 Error

Gah - looks like i remove the "d" and "33" from the delete url and the image is there in the forum_images folder. Okay so why the messed up url?

<img src="<% = strImagePath %>delete.png"

the strImagePath is messed up.

Good morning

 I get a security alert error 

Your Admin Login Username and Password are not secure

I have a good password, according to the rules and tried new ones, but nothing worked. Its still shows no matter what i do.

Have you changed the username from administrator, if you don't then you will always get this messages regardless of the password?

However this is just a warning and has no effect that I can see on the rest of your problems. :-(

It may help WebWiz if you can do a view page source for the page that you have linked to and look for the line that loads the style sheet, 

<link href="css_styles/dark/default_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

It is about line 17.

If this is corrupted in the same way as the image links it may indicate something useful to those who know the code better. 

Bye

Ian

"I have a good password, according to the rules and tried new ones, but nothing worked. Its still shows no matter what i do."

I think you are on to something with it being corrupt - yeeouch! I looked at the source and the file is all screwed up, with numbers randomly everywhere.

<link href="
13
css_styles/default/
17d
default_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I replaced the file, with no luck. I'll start replacing the includes to see what works.

Nothing seems to be working. Replacing the includes and the actual file itself. 

Is there a WebWiz developer on that could shed some light on this?

Take a look at the doc and head element - wow!?!?!

Good afternoon,

I appreciate the response

I did change the password and indicated above

If you look in admin_menu.aspx you will see

If LCase(strLoggedInUsername) = "administrator" AND lngLoggedInUserID = 1 AND blnDemoMode = False Then
   
 %>  
 <br />
 <table class="errorTable" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" align="center">
  <tr>
   <td><img src="<% = strImagePath %>error.png" alt="<% = strTxtError %>" /> <strong>SECURITY ALERT!!</strong>
    <br /><br />
    Your Admin Login Username and Password are not secure.
    <br /><br />
    <a href="admin_change_admin_username.asp">Update your Admin Login.</a>
  </tr>
</table><%  
End If

at around line 108.

So it is not the password that is the issue but the user name.

A long time ago I got into trouble when IIS took the first byes of the file as byte order encoding 

Looking at your page source, the ab at the very start of the source looks like a byte order mark, sorry but that is are far as I go.:-)

I don't know enough about the WebWiz forum to really help but as I see the code, both the admin pages and the use pages get configuration information from the same include file 

includes/global_variables_inc

which confuses me as to why you user pages work but the admin ones don't.


Bye

Ian
