Hello,

I am getting an internal server 500 error in the groups modify function when chosing to modify the registered users. The webmaster and Anonymous user modify works fine. Only the register user group modify throws the error.

I'm running 2.0.4.

I was wondering if anybody has encountered a similar thing?

Thanks

Kolley

Thanks for your quick reply.

Is it really that simple??

What would we lose by losing the ability to use referrers?

Hello,
First can I want to say a big thank you to all the XOOPS developers out there. It's no exaggeration to say it has truly improved my working life!

Having been a hit a few times by the Norton and friends firewall blocking referrers and disallowing registrations problem. I decided to add an emailadmin function to the insertUser call in the register.php file to see how many times my users are getting this problem.

Background: I'm running a popular local non tech site for some friends in a very non tech city. So although there is a client side workaround available on this XOOPS site, it's not much use as these people don't take kindly to being told to reconfigure their firewalls!

I started seeing the problem in September and since then the problem has gradually ramped up to nearly one in every two attempts to register today.

I have changed the error message to let the people know what to do and offered a telephone number, but generally people just leave the site.

I was wondering if anybody out there had a server side work around for this problem. I can only see it getting more prevalent as people purchase new machines with copies of NIS 2004 installed.

I am going to continue to look into the problem myself, but it seems the use of referrers is throughout Xoops...

I'm really posting this entry to see if anybody else has attempted to tackle this problem..

Please let us know!

Thanks

Kolley.

I'm having this problem also. Some people including myself are able to register no problem whereas others randomly force the inserUser() function to fail.

Must be the firewall redirect problem.... Anybody got any ideas for a server side work around?

Arrgh, help. I've been playing with XOOPS for quite some time and think it is a wonderful thing, but this little problem has me stumped.

Any idea how the mysql/blocks debug function, when enabled, is returning an empty html page in the pop-up?

It works fine on my local dev box, but on the hosting server it is not.
