hello,

i really have a serious problem. im running a website based on XOOPS for my world of warcraft guild under www.wowcore.de.
some guild members or visitors cant register because they have norton firewall. 60% are using norton firewall over here.
they also tried to register on this site. all with the same problem like me.

can anyone help me fixing this ?

Hi,

Welcome to Xoops.
With the search available on this site (on your right) type the following words to find the solution (look in the XOOPS Faq for example) :
norton firewall

Bye,
Hervé

Install Browser Check on your site (you could place it in a subdirectory "bcheck" of your XOOPS directory), have the people who are having the problem report which tests fail, and post those results here.

Why am I having problems logging in and posting when my firewall is on?

in the faq it says that the users will have to add my site to "trusted" ... but seriously no one will do that. they want to browse the site and they dont want to add a unknown site to "trusted"

i installed brwoser check.
my results.

Referrer-H The URL of the referring page can be read. (host name) FAIL

Referrer-HS The URL of the referring page can be read. (host name + script name) FAIL

Referrer-HSQ The URL of the referring page can be read. (host name + script name + query string) FAIL


lol it`s exactly the same here... it says with norton "could not insert forum post"

Still in the XOOPS Faq, you will find something to deactivate the referer check. Search for this.

If you're willing to reduce your site's security slightly, you could use this hack to disable the HTTP_REFERER check.

thx 1000times man. good answer
to the creators of xoops. u should think about changing the code to make it norton compatible. norton is the biggest firewall everywhere. never seen a cms having problems with this :/


thx for all the help
