DarkAngelBGE Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hey guys, has anybody of you got a forum login problem in the past? I just redid my comp, reisnatlled firefox and made sure cookies are enabled. However, when I close the FF window and restart it I am logged out. On other forums I frequent the cookies work OK, so I wonder if our forum code is faulty.Has anybody had similar problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Same problem with me, it is very odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I too have this problem when I log in through the main forums, but the WFG cookies saved when I logged on in the comment section for a 0ad screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Alright, so this must be a coding issue then. I will have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarivs Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 That is weird. Until I deleted all cookies, everything was OK. But now I have same problem.I looked to the cookies.txt file and spotted this line:.wildfiregames.com TRUE wildfiregames.com/forum/ FALSE 1161987071 wfg_member_id 781Is it correct?I thougth that it should be like this:wildfiregames.com TRUE wildfiregames.com/forum/ FALSE 1161987071 wfg_member_id 781 orwww.wildfiregames.com TRUE wildfiregames.com/forum/ FALSE 1161987071 wfg_member_id 781 Don't you think?If there isn't mistake in Firefox? What version do you have? I have 1.0.7-1 Debian package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 same problem here - it doesn't save my session passwords anymore...Likewise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm getting the same thing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 The weird thing is that it works alright with IE for me. Does it work in IE for you guys as well?With the FF webdeveloper extension one can see all cookies on a website. The cookies get set properly, but when you close the FF widnow and then come back to the WFG forums all cookies have been cleared in FF. Now that is really weird.

Dnas Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hmm... maybe it's...I do remember (from one of the 14-page articles I read when I tried to write a photo album without knowing MySQL and sessions and stuff ) that IE doesn't honor some settings of sessions or something like that (or maybe that was screwiness with caching... my memory is bad), so you have to mess with workarounds and add some lines of code and stuff...Maybe something got added that tells the browser to change its cookies and IE doesn't honor the setting?No idea what kind of setting or anything would do that though... I barely know enough about sessions to do a login (since that's all I needed).Dunno, just a fairly random idea.It's weird though... sometimes I get the error, sometimes I don't... it's mainly with the private forums though.EDIT: seems to be fixed on this compy... but that could just be the cookies on this one.

DarkAngelBGE Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 It is fixed for you? Nice. Have you deleted all cookies and then logged in and it worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 The login and cookies functions were working fine until today. What did you do, Tim? What did you do!? The world's going to end, I swear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 It is fixed for you? Nice. Have you deleted all cookies and then logged in and it worked?*deletes cookies**goes around board*Yup. All good.(Note to others: try deleting cookies from both wildfiregames.com and www.wildfiregames.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I had it too, I just had it again, might be because the new cookie hasn't been downloaded yet, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarivs Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 When I type http://www.wildfiregames.com and then click on "Community Forums" I'm not logged in. But when I type http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum I'm logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 @Belisarivs: Odd... I'm getting that too...Oh! It's because the first method sends you to a URL without the www. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I think I have found the problem.Simply, without the www. you will be logged outRandom, but putting it in fixes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Alright guys all delete your cookies now and re-login. It should be fixed. @Morgan: Changed the cookie domain and path. They were both set to an empty string. I am not sure why it has worked with those settings before.

Lorian Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Nice one, thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 The reason why I changed it in the first place is that the login/logout on the 0 A.D. site didn't go hand in hand with the forums (because of the wrong cookie domain). That has been fixed now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebula Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I got the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Henning you need to logout and then re-login. Your cookies have to be cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebula Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks I have done that, and it's working now, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Had another problem today. In Firefox any page would say "Bad Request" at the top and mention something about a cookie and had a large string on nubmers and letters.Manually finding the wfg cookies and deleting them fixed it.
