Could this have something to do with the header information that gets passed (I think that's what I read was the problem) that seems to prevent some people from signing up, when they have Norton Security (or other firewall software preventing it from passing)?

It does not help anymore, because:

"The requested URL /modules/xoopsfaq/index.php was not found on this server."

Some og my users have norton security installed and cant't log in. How can I help them?

Thank you.

Try reading this :

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=24566&forum=7&post_id=109955#forumpost109955

and this

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25099&forum=7&post_id=109818#forumpost109818

Both are topics relating to this issue. It boils down to a security check built into XOOPS to ensure that your browser stores where you have visited (web page redirection). Many Firewalls block this - especially Norton, so you have to either tell them not to for every site (not very practical) or disable the HTTP_REFERRER check in the XOOPS code. Read the two posts above and all will become clear. A word of warning though - read the WHOLE posts and not just snippets of them - and I'm afraid they are quite large.

If I recall, one of the core developers, perhaps Dave_L, has changed this for the next version\patch - but don't quote me on it - I may have misunderstood. Its easy to do yourself though - I managed it!

If, by chance, it is nothing to do with that, then its probable that its an IIS permission. I had right bother with it using Windows Server 2003 and IIS6. Anyway, you have to ensure that the IUSR[SERVERNAME] permission and IIS_GUEST (or whatever its called - can't quite remember) have permission to read and write to your folder. Check out www.iis-resources.com for more help on this area - they are superstars just like the XOOPS community.

Have fun

Thank You very much.

They got their Norton Firewall configured to use my board. I did not change change anything from the XOOPS code.
