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

[gianx80]

This is my problem: I have a forum ad I've decided to upgrade from version 1.1.5 to 1.1.7 using the manual process (I've downloaded the upgrade package from SMF official site). After the upgrade, I tied to re-enable all my plug-ins, obtaining this error: "Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and ...". After this, I tried to change browser, to delete all cookies, to empty out all the DB table referring to the sessions, to change the cookies name ... but the problem was still there. Moreover, I backupped my settings file and my theme, I downloaded the normal installation package for a fresh installation, I restored my settings file and my theme ... and the problem is still there. So, now I'm not able to enable or disable packages.

Do you have a solution?

P.S.
The problem remains also with the default theme  and excuse me for my English, but it isn't my mother language.

I would try to run the repair_settings tool ( What is repair_settings.php?), and then check the server setting>>feature configuration from your admin cp.
Please, report here your setting's values about:
- Enable local storage of cookies [?]
-Use subdomain independent cookies[?]
-Use database driven sessions[?]
-Seconds before an unused session timeout[   ]

did you try to run repair_settings.php? 
Can I have a sample of your forum's url? Eg.: is it like www.myforum.whatever.com or simply www.myforum.com ?

[DareDevil1990]

and my forum url is http://www.da-legends.info/

and since i  installed the update i am also unable to logout... i get the same seseion verification error

Try deleting from your browser all cookies first.
If it still doesn't work, open your phpMyadmin (What is phpMyAdmin?), select smf database, click on the SQL icon and run the following queries (assuming that your smf table prefix is smf_ ):

Code Select Expand

REPAIR TABLE `smf_sessions`

And after

Code Select Expand

OPTIMIZE TABLE `smf_sessions`

It should work.

I have tried all the things writen but problem still exists. I realized that if you upgrade your forum (my version was 1.1.6) there is no problem, but if have a clean install then this problem occurs.

Never experienced something like that, as I still didn't install 1.1.7 from scratch.

[DareDevil1990]

ok i did as said it didnt work still geting the same error ...btw is there any way to go back to smf 1.1.6 and dont effect the forum staibilty ?

Last attempt, to empty the smf_sessions table.
Run this query:

Code Select Expand

TRUNCATE smf_sessions;

I've already runned this script yesterday, however these are my settings:
- Enable local storage of cookies [unchecked]
-Use subdomain independent cookies[checked]
-Use database driven sessions[checked]
-Seconds before an unused session timeout[ 2880 ]

Now, I'm going to run:

REPAIR TABLE `smf_sessions` and OPTIMIZE TABLE `smf_sessions`

.... nothing, the problem is still there. However, if you need it, this is the forum url: http://gianx.d4net.org/forum [nofollow]
