 Topic: HELP - I AM TOTALLY MIFFED!!
Posted: 17 May 2004 at 9:36am |
Hi all,
I hope someone can help me... I am trying to put up a forum on a Secure Site - (SSL 128, its a https://site) - BUT I have uploaded everything and it seems to work fine, the only MAIN issue is that you can't log in??
I have tried to log in the Admin Panel and it keeps saying insuffient Permission - I am completely confused!?? There is no reason why it should do this, I have set Read, Write & Delete settings on the server??
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! I have set up a few of these forums and would say I am not a newbie, but this has completely stumped me??

This sounds like a cookie issue. Do a search of this forum fopr cookies.

Thanks -boRg- for giving me that idea  , and taking the time to answer 
But it seems everyone blames XP or some sort of cookie corruption?? Well I should expand on what actually happens.
- I have deleted EVERY single temp internet file including ALL cookies - Then restarted my computer
- I have used a different computer
- I use AVANT browser, also tried IE6
- Have took it down and uploaded it again.
- Have downloaded the latest copy of WWF and uploaded that - Still same problem
- I use the same forum on my other site, and I log on VERY regulary on that and this site - AND never had a problem??
- The new forum is on a HTTPS:// - SSL - Secure Server
- It has a dedicated IP address
Well thats about as much as I can think of, if anyone has any ideas it would be very much appreciated. Or if there is a Senior Member who I can post a link to so they can see first hand.

I have an SSL cert on a customer site and have tried logging in and using the WWF ... and all works OK.
WHat is the hosting setup? Eg is there a server farm / load balancing occuring?

You haven't searched correctly on this as I have written what prevents cookies being written in 100's of posts.
Things that stop your site from settings cookies include, URL masking, IP masking, domain masking, frames, etc.
Also try another browser like Mozilla to workout if this is an IE issue.

Thanks again - I shall do a thorough search and take some time reading the older posts.
I have asked the hosting setup question to my hosts, and as I am using Avant browser that should mean its not just an IE issue - Shouldn't it?
Dunno how you answer all these questions, my head would be spinning  - Thanks again

Also I have just had this back from the hosts
"tell him there is not a server farm or load balancing, just a win2003 server so it could be permissions that are causing this"
Does that mean I should shout at them to sort it out??

It could still be an IE issue.
Advant uses the IE engine, just a different interface, so would be the
same as testing in IE. Try downloading and use a different browser like
Moizlla Firebird, http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/, it's also a much better faster browser than IE anyway.
I don't see how this could be a permissions problem, but rather some
issue with either cookies or the ASP session keeps getting reset.
