Administration problems with fresh install
Asked Modified Viewed 4,091 times
asked
I have just installed the latest version of php-fusion (7.02.03) on a sourceforge project page. I followed the instructions found in the readme and everything seemed to go OK. However I encounter some strange problems, of which some are scattered around the forum, but don't really seem to be related. After logging in and *trying* to do a DB restore, I just get kicked back to the homepage, leaving me with the following problems:
- Pressing refresh creates duplicate entries of my account name in the 'Who's online field',
- I cannot go back to the admin panel,
- I cannot logout.
The only 'solution' is to remove all cookies and other webhistory (at least on Firefox just removing the cookies is not enough). I tried four different browsers (Opera, Firefox, Konqueror and Rekonq) and they all seem to suffer from this problem. I haven't tested if the DB restore function is the only thing, but I suspect not because sometimes it also happens without doing that... Anyway it seems that cookies/other cached webcontent+admin panel seem to be the main problem here.
Any help would be appreciated

You trying to restore your backup or just do a fresh installation?
answered
My end goal is to move the site, but I haven't done any of that yet so these problems occur with a fresh installation.
I noticed that with Opera, I can't even reach the admin panel after logging in (ie it goes straight back to the news.php page).

Be careful, because that file can be changed since that post.
Only noobs have this problem.

Thanks, but assuming you mean this file; it's exactly the same as the file in the release archive?

Alright good news! With the help of Korcsii we found a solution.
The problem seems to be that for some reason php-fusion fetches the 'wrong' IP address. I'm not sure where these addresses come from, perhaps from SF.net internally, but they seem to be continuously changing. This constantly invalidates the aidlink (ie. the part after aid= from the admin pages) and things become messy.
Anyway, the fix is actually quite simple: open maincore.php (in the root directory) and change the line (latest release at line 80):

And everything is OK again :)
So many thanks to Korcsii for the quick support.

This is not a good solution for most of the servers.
At first - can contain several ips

At second - spoofing

Hmm...
Well the first was easy to fix, but some Googling left me with the impression that there is no better alternative to avoid spoofing. So any suggestions are welcome...
