Core Features Error

[harlemS]

Hi guys, I just upgraded from the RC2 release to RC3 and decided to check out some of the new feature choices, however every I try to power on or power off a option on the "Core Features" menu, I get an error. that says "Your Session Has Timed Out" Is this a known bug? Ive tried logging out and logging back in and user more than one account and still nothing. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Go to Administration Center » Server Settings » Cookies and Sessions and turn on database driven sessions.

What theme are you using, out of interest?

What theme are you using, out of interest?

I'm trying to create my own, using parts from the default curves theme to build off of.

[Arantor]

What template(s) have you modified?

[harlemS]

What template(s) have you modified?

Just the SMF Default Core Curves Theme

Go to Administration Center » Server Settings » Cookies and Sessions and turn on database driven sessions.

I did what you suggested, however the problem is still there. It's not a big issue with everyday use, but I wanted activate some of that stuff in the core features menu. Did also try switching themes, to a official one, but the error still happens.

yes, yes, which FILE(S)?

Though you say it fails on default theme. So, what are the settings in Cookies and Sessions?

Just indextemplate.php so far.

Database driven sessions are deactivated, browser caching is deactivated, and timeout is set to 2880 seconds. local storage of cookies is disabled, & subdomain independent cookies is also disabled.

[Arantor]

Activate DB driven sessions first.

Activate DB driven sessions first.

Just reactivated DB driven sessions, and i'm still getting the error.

[Arantor]

Now with it still enabled, log out, then log back in.

Sorry my reply took so long, but I was on the way home. Anywho I tried it again after logging out and I still get the same error. I did do an upgrade from th latest version of smf 1, so could that be causing it?

[Arantor]

It shouldn't be the cause, no.

* Arantor is confused.

Try enabling subdomain independent cookies next, then log out/log back in.

Still getting that same "An Error Has Occurred!
Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again." error.

Did you delete the Cookie after switching to DB driven?



(Oops I'm supposed not to try and answer questions)

SDR: That's a very, very good question. Logging out and back in should fix it, but you never know...

I actually used a completely different browser just to make sure it wasn't a cookie issue. Ill try again though.

Update, Yep still doesnt work.

I tried all of the above, and have the same problem still.


Here is what I do remember. Core Features was working in v2.0rc2 - not in rc3. I have used ModernDark and the Default theme (WITH success v2rc2, WITHOUT success v2rc3).

My error log shows absolutely nothing oddly.



Best,

OK... so I have run the database checking utils:
Maint -> Forum Maint ->Database -> Optimize

Maint -> Forum Maint ->Routine -> Find and Repair any Errors

I have also checked (long check and repair) all tables using MySQL directly (none found)

Still, same problem.

Best,
Robert
