 Topic: Only members with sufficient permission can access
Posted: 23 April 2007 at 2:52pm |
Hi,
When a user goes to register they seem to get this all the time:-
Error
Only members with sufficient permission can access this page.
A security error has occurred with authentication.
Please ensure that all cookies are enabled on your web browser, you are not using a saved or cached copy of the page, and your Firewall/Proxy settings are not hiding or masking your IP address.
Is there a setting i can change, I've looked at the other posts, deleting cookies etc, but is there a way this can be done server side?
Many thanks

I'm getting the same error. Created a forum with no generall access then added access to specific members and they can post a message. But they can't reply or read any existing message. Just get the Access denied message.

Hi, I'm using the Access database version and recently upgraded to 8.05 (I ran version 7 for 3-4 years and no problems). The new forum ran fine for the first couple of weeks and then a user said they couldn't register giving the same error message about cookies, etc.
Existing users can still log in but no one can register. As I only had 3 users in the new forum I downloaded the database again and started over. I created users (again) not using the Admin login but as themselves (i.e. register as a user). No problems. A couple of hours later I can't register to create more users.
So I download the database again and start once more in creating users. This time I can't register a single user...instead getting the permissions error.
I've run through the usual checklist, clearing cookies, cache, temp pages, etc. The problem error repeats in Firefox 2.0 or IE 6.0.
I don't have a problem with staying logged in so don't think it is related to the sub-folder problem that is posted elsewhere in this forum.
Is there a way to examine the cookie(s)? I know how to but what to look for? What do I ask my web host?

Sounds like a session issue and the web server is unable to hold the forums session.
This would be due to either using a web farm, balanced servers, or there is a problem with the server and you should let your web hosts know.
You can edit the file in notepad functions/functions_session_data.asp and enable the forum to use the database to store the session, but this is not recommended for the access version due to the extra load placed onto the database.

Thanks for your reply.
I changed the functions/functions_session_data.asp file but to no avail; same error. It must be the web host's server as I run a duplicate site (as backup) from home (which I can access over the internet) and no problems there.
I've sent the web host an email and will report back on my progress.

How much it slows the connection, at which pages and how many times it
makes additional hits to database? For example at every refresh 1
times? Is it significant at ms sql?
I can have 500+ users at forum at a time...
Best regards,

If you choose to use the database instead you would be adding both read, and longer saving writes to each page adding between an extra 2 to 10 hits per page.
As most forum pages are designed to load with 3 or less queries, using the database to store session items instead of the web servers memory adds allot of additional strain on the web server.
If you have 500 users at a time I would highly recommend NOT to use the database to store session items and track users as you would be increasing the demand on the database by around 500% or more and coursing pages to load more slowly.
