Not registering? Not logging in?

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 11:00:39 AM

I have my own little forum creating service at www.3smf.com
Somebody requested a forum to be created, and I installed it via Fantastico. Before you say anything about Fantastico, I know it's not good to use blah blah, but please listen.
I created the forum ,which can be found here: http://www.3smf.com/colmoreband/index.php

A few days before, I created another one, found here: http://www.3smf.com/ikorp
I could log in perfectly on /ikorp before, but now it won't let me. It says "Please fill in a username."
On the new forum I just created, I get the same thing, even when I put in correct details! Also, the registering does not work. I go through the process, then it goes back to the homepage of the forum, but the account is not registered.
/ikorp is 1.1.8, as I have only just updated it.
/colmoreband is 1.1.7 as I haven't updated yet, as I cannot log in.

Anyway, I hope I can get this resolved. (By the way, I can log in to my support forum perfectly!)

Strange... Tried in /ikorp and noticed it does the same, regardless of what I put in to the username box...
And I tried with all 3 available logins... ( 2 on Index, and 1 in action=login )

Have you changed something in them just before this happened?

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 11:43:21 AM

Nope, haven't touched anything at all. The strange thing is, my support forum was also installed via fantastico. :S

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen · April 21, 2009, 11:46:05 AM

Could there be something obviously different between your support forum and these others?
An advert, a statistics script, something? I'm pretty much guessing, I give you that - but this was the first thing that came to mind...

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 11:47:18 AM

Hmm... I don't think so - they both have the same adverts on it. Nothing else :S

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen · April 21, 2009, 11:54:45 AM

If they are _exactly_ the same... Why not try if copying your working forum's files over to one that doesn't work correctly would fix it?

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 12:36:07 PM

I don't really want to do that, as I do not want to be doing this for each forum I create. =[

Have you tried installing manually instead of using fantastico?

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 12:58:50 PM

As I said Nas, I am installing them via Fantastico De Luxe. This is because of my download limit, and I cannot afford to keep uploading files for each forum.

EDIT: I've only done 3 installations so far, not including the support forum, and I didn't have any problems with the first two.

Marcus Forsberg · April 21, 2009, 01:00:19 PM

Can't you upload a zip file and then extract it once uploaded? I'vde done that many times.

* Nas remembers the first time he uploaded SMF to his site. He uploaded the files one by one.

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 01:03:05 PM

How would I extract it once it's uploaded?

EDIT: Nevermind, I wouldn't want to anyway. I want to do it this way. Maybe this is happening due to the mysql changes? Or something lol?

Marcus Forsberg · April 21, 2009, 01:03:51 PM

Depends on your FTP client and if your host uses cPanel.

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 01:19:18 PM

I do use cPanel. Read my edit please =]

Marcus Forsberg · April 21, 2009, 01:20:55 PM

Have you installed any other forum since this occured?

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 02:42:52 PM

Nope. I deleted the forum (the band one) and reinstalled, but still had same error.

Marcus Forsberg · April 21, 2009, 02:44:16 PM

I still believe that you should try without fantastico and see what happens.

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 03:15:39 PM

Yes, but I would gain nothing from it, as I am trying to figure out what is wrong with the current installations using Fantastico.

I registered for these forums because I am experiencing the same issue. It started about 2 hours ago and I haven't been able to access my board. When I try to post, it blanks everything out and throws errors. So I tried logging out and now I can't log back in. I tried creating a new account, and it errors on me as well. There have been no posts since this started so I assume it's not an account issue.

One thing I know, my board is out of date. It's version 1.1.7 (I know, really old). Was there something rolled out by SMF to make the older versions no longer function?

phpMyTony · April 21, 2009, 03:54:18 PM

Did you create that forum with fantastico? And no, they woudlnt make it so it wont function.

No
