Always logout automatically - Firefox 3

[Informatics]

Dear every1, especially support members.

I just install a new SMF 2.0 RC1 ...

And i move it along to a new webhosting.

The problem is when i login into my forum using firefox 3, i can't login forever, although i've selected forever option on login options.

But, when i use IE8 and Opera browser, its nothing wrong.

So, i just do this steps:
1. Clear cookies on firefox brower
2. Clear cache on firefox brower
3. Change the cookie's setting on my forum
4. Clear the cache of our forum
5. Restart the firefox, even i reinstall it freshly

Btw, this is one sample when i've login succeed:

Code Select Expand

http://MYDOMAIN/index.php?PHPSESSID=bb1002a327ca97a10e28af8ec5f308f7;

i'm just quite uncertain about the PHPSESSID

But, it's same as before... always logout automatically...

Any solution? Thanx.

Are you sure someone else isn't using your browser then clearing your data (Cache, cookies, etc.). If you are also logged out of other sites, then that is probably it.

And when you say you are always logged out, when is it you are logged out? After you close then open your browser, or just randomly?

[Informatics]

Its fresh install No other user than me.

Once again, its always logout automatically when i login as admin nor usual registered member.

Notes: its just happen on Firefox, not on other browser.

Odd... Not quite sure as I don't really use Firefox, but are you sure (Under Privacy Settings) you don't have Firefox set to automatically delete cookies once Firefox is closed or something?

Its happen just on this new site, but not on my another site

Is it possible that the problem have related with the hosting? i think it should not.

Have a look for the PHPSESSID problem...

For login issues..

Code Select Expand

<input name="cookieneverexp" value="true" type="hidden" />
You can put this before </form> in your index.template.php

It should probably start working..

thanx for reply, remember, that its just happen on firefox 3 ...

Yet, Give it a try.

[Informatics]

Still can't login either.

Maybe i should reinstall .. and check it one by one.

Rules: no post anything, just sight seeing and chatting ofcourse

After you login using firefox or other browser, click some pages and then back to homepage.
If i use firefox, it will logout automatically.

If there is no any solutions, our web admin will reinstall it at this wednesday (April 22, 2009)

Thanx for replying.

[Informatics]

Did you try my trick..?

its not working. thanx.

Aah maaan..! I gotta then think of something....will get back to you if i find anything..

[Informatics]

please check it by your self.
i've supplied with user login sample.

[Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)]

Ok, its the PHPSESSID problem for sure..

When you login, it takes you to index.php?PHPSESSID.....

And when you click Home, it takes you just to index.php

So basically it logs you out as the session is not verified for that... (This is definitely the problem!)

Ok, so now time to find a solution..

[Informatics]

thanx F.L.A.M.E.R for your attention... its also confusing me... its just happen on Firefox, not on other browsers.

Its not just firefox.. its in every browser.. I am using Chrome.. It does the same thing..

Have you tried removing the output compression for your site? Use repair_settings.php ?

-Edit-
Spotted one more problem. It is surely the cookies.. Change your Cookie to the suggested one..

The Login page doesnt take the value 60, it gives incorrect password first. And then takes me to a page of login with the infinite minutes of login..

In my site, i've try it on IE8 and Opera 9, not yet on Chrome.
i just got this bad experience on FF3.

I think it should not have related with ompression output or not... because i've tried it on another hosting, its just fine.

Ok, i'll take your suggestion now.
Cookie Name:     
Recommended value: "SMFCookie11".

Queryless URLs: On
Output Compression: Off
Database driven sessions: On

the cookie name i use is SMFCookie11, like the recommended value.

Possible to give me FTP access ? I'll try a few things..?

If i spot anything, i'll let you know...?

-Edit-
Just found something related to the session problem..:-
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=304642.msg2020163#msg2020163

But as the person has done, the recommendation says not to do it so.. It could get messy.. (The problem is somewhat inter related)
