2.3.2 "Taking you back where you were" when trying to update in admin

Logged in as admin I get that error msg if I try to update anything in the system administration.

Also will not install module, just keeps taking me back to modules main interface.... [trying to get backpack installed]

Operating system Linux
Kernel version 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5
Apache version 2.2.14
PHP version 5.2.12
MySQL version 5.0.90-community

Read various versions of this prob already, but none seem to be system wide like this, just in certain modules [gallery, forum etc. as best as I can see].

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

look at your data base limit. It seems it's full.

Only 12 users? full?

I think it's something to do with either the cache or perms to write to certain files, not sure...

Other clues, selecting an alt theme changes it only for the page I'm on when i select it, but reverts to default theme as son as i go to another page.

Changing permissions in groups won't stick either.

Baffled...
Thnx.

The only reasons for that are:
1. Permissions to xoops_data folders
2. full database
3. sessions table in db

So just clear your session table in database!
I got the same error and find some solutions here, on xoops forum.
PS thanks GHIA for that!

1. login into your database via MySQL Admin
2. find "session" table and clear it!
3. Make sure that "xoops_data" folders have write permissions (777)
4. Clear your sessions and cookie in webbrowser.
(5 upgrade to 2.4.4 ;) )

I have the same problem with 2.4.4. The solution posted here doesn't work. I also can't update modules, etc. PHP 5.2.13 MySql 5.1.45. I have been seeing problems with administration for awhile on this site though. 2.4.4 doesn't seem very stable to me at all.

Compare also once the structure of the session table with the definition in the /install/sql/ files.
(Have encountered once that a field had become another type (due to hacking).)
Do you have session data stored in the table, when you are logged in?

I checked that AND dropped the table and re-built it with the original sql. Same problem. Taking you back to where you were for almost everything I attempt in admin.

I mean, I WOULD turn DEBUG on, but when I try it says :"Taking you back to where you were."

Check the FAQ. There is one that explains how to do it with phpMyAdmin.

I checked on that particular message and it is defined in /language/english/global.php and the only place where it is used is in /include/functions.php in the function redirect_header.
There it pops up when the third parameter $message appears to be an empty string.
Problem here is that this redirect_header function is used all over in the files in XOOPS.

Mosttimes it has a fixed message,
redirect_header($redirect_page . '=' . $com_itemid . '&com_mode=' . $com_mode . '&com_order=' . $com_order . '#comment' . $newcid, 1, _CM_THANKSPOST);

but sometimes it is called like
redirect_header(XOOPS_URL . '/', 1, implode('', $GLOBALS['xoopsSecurity']->getErrors()));

That makes me assuming that in that place no errors where registered on the xoopsSecurity object.
But what then the real problem is??

I fixed it. One of the admins set the session from 1500 to 15000000000. I fixed that and everything works again.
