2.0.9 Fresh install all menus redirect to main page

[nightw0lf]

Hi I have used SMF before but I had no such problems
I do fresh install many times I also asked my host to reset my account because of that but still the same.

1 Upload the smf 2.0.9 (tryed with beta and other versions) tyed also with other forums all working fine i mean ALL I tested worked 100%.
2 Install... all ok
3 logout. (i am already logged in)
4 login. PROBLEM redirect

if in step 3 I dont use log out and keep clicking on ANY menu i get redirected in the main page.
I tryed some expiriments with this

on querystring.php I changed this

Code Select Expand

$scripturl = $boardurl . '/index.php';
to this

Code Select Expand

$scripturl = $boardurl;

and now

ALMOST everything working fine I was acually happy for a moment but some places still use redirect to main page (at least not all)
example link

DON'T do this. Remove index.php is prone to all kinds of issues.
Run repair_settings. Something might not be correctly set at install, leaving you with bad paths.

Also, for your description, it seems that you might have some issues with PHPSESSID on the URL. That usually means that you have mod_security running and, as usual, it's messing things up. Ask your host to disable it and try again...

I dont want to do this I was trying to find a "why" but thank you for pointing a possible reason I will contact and come back to tell what happen.
REALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER!

PS: that captcha will send me to doctor

Oh, another thing. It can be that your PHP configuration doesn't "like" sessions in the URL. Can you get us a phpinfo?
What is a phpinfo() file?

[nightw0lf]

you can check right here I just added it.

Hi was this helpful not?

[margarett]

I'm not totally sure, but you can ask your host to disable
session.use_only_cookies
in php.ini
(although it I tried it locally and could not reproduce that so it's likely not the cause)

My recommendation is for you to ask your host to disable mod_security

[nightw0lf]

thank you I can contact him tomorrow because its sunday, I hope for the best thank you for your time Mr.

most hosts work sundays just so you know

[nightw0lf]

The problem has been solved with some mod_security disabled, thank you for your time and help this issue can be closed.
