Getting error "Session verification failed ......" - ideas?

strange · May 14, 2006, 01:23:28 PM

Whenever I try to do almost anything, log out, log into the admin panel, post a topic.. I get the error:

"Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again."

Clearly I can't log out.. and everyone else on the forum is also having this problem. I recently installed 4images 1.7.2.. a web image gallery deal.. and an image creater to resize images into thumbnails, but I don't believe those are part of the problem.

Sorry if this post has been posted already, I'll look around but I couldn't find it.

Thanks a lot,
Noah

Strange,Please specify your SMF version,PHP & MYSQL Version.

Also check This Topic To see if that fixes your issue temp.

I'm not positive but i THINK i'm on php4.5...... and i don't know my mysql version. any way to find that out?

I'm running 1.0.7 SMF.

Well have you tried following the instructions in the topic link given?

strange · May 14, 2006, 01:32:27 PM

I'm doing it right now, but I still need to know how to find out my mySQL version.. for you.

If you have cpanel,it should display it but for the moment it is not required.

I do but I personally don't have access to it.. I'm hosting it off a friend who isn't available right now. I tried the thing in the thread you linked me to, no change.

Try replacing sources & removing any mods.

strange · May 14, 2006, 01:36:18 PM

Would that mean me logging into the admin panel? or physically deleting them from the ftp?

And what sources? .. sorry, I'm a little noobish here.

1. In admin panel
2. Delete the directory called sources in the forum - And replace it with ones from download page

i cant get to admin panel..

J. Williams · May 14, 2006, 02:02:49 PM

Well if you have FTP Access,Delete the directories marked sources & themes(backup this if custom) and then replace them.

strange · May 14, 2006, 02:23:02 PM

should i delete them and replace them with the ones ibacked up? or completely new ones?

J. Williams · May 14, 2006, 02:24:09 PM

If you have mods installed,I don't recommend it. Replace them with the ones that are completely new.

strange · May 14, 2006, 03:08:11 PM

i don't think i had any mods. i just replaced them, they're uploading right now.

i'll let you know if it works

Strange,Since none of the method work. My conclusion is bad php configuration on your host.
