I can not register a new user. I am getting an error:
Quote:
i tried to play with permission, cache and any other solution form this forum but it doesn t work. does it have to do something with sessions?
i am using user profiles 1.51

thanks for any help!

If the message appears after a certain time (eg 30 seconds), then I think it is a server message and indicates mostly an overloaded server. Too many websites share the same server and are generating to many demand for power on the processor. It can then no longer complete the requests in the presetted time. Other pages may have the same error or load very slow.
For this case open a ticket at your hoster.

any luck here? Experiencing the same issue with the new user-profile module...

ok found out the reason for this.

In the user profile module, if you have more than one step in the registration, you cannot have do not save selected for the first step and save for the second step. You must have save selected for both steps.

I am having this same message now. I was receiving the error that the captcha code was invalid. After much reading here, I upgraded from 2.3.2b to 2.4.2 and now I have the "process has been expired".

Checksum came up clean, all files confirmed.

The error comes up instantly so none of the symptoms mentioned about server load.

After upgrade, I updated the system and profile modules.
Profile is 1.55.

I checked that the settings are to save after each registration step. I've changed them back and forth and found no difference.

The captcha was always displaying properly, as it is now, just can't get past the first page.

I checked using the phpinfo file and this is the GD result:

GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
FreeType Version 2.2.1
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled

I'm out of ideas at my level.

This can be a sessions problem.
Verify that your browser has cookies enabled.
Repair and/or clear the sessions table.

Thanks.

I cleared the sessions table. Cookies are enabled. Same result.

Also tried disabling protector module but same result.

Other suggestions welcome.

Hi
Did you make a server upgrade, so check some entries in your php.ini and post here:

1. session.save_handler (example, files|files)
2. session.use_cookies (example, off|off)
4. session.use_cookies (example, on|on)
3. session.use_trans_sid (example, 0|0)

You should check the local vcalue and the master value.

You did not set the session length in you xoops administration to the value 0 = zero or?

Hi and thank you for the suggestions. Information follows.

In site preferences,

Use custom session - yes
Session expiration - 30
Session name - xoops session

I cleared cookies and then tried to register again and found I had two cookies from the site: XOLOGGERVIEW and PHPSESSID.

Here is the session info from phpinfo:

session
Session Support enabled
Registered save handlers files user sqlite
Registered serializer handlers php php_binary wddx

Directive Local Value Master Value
session.auto_start Off Off
session.bug_compat_42 On On
session.bug_compat_warn On On
session.cache_expire 180 180
session.cache_limiter nocache nocache
session.cookie_domain no value no value
session.cookie_httponly Off Off
session.cookie_lifetime 0 0
session.cookie_path / /
session.cookie_secure Off Off
session.entropy_file no value no value
session.entropy_length 0 0
session.gc_divisor 100 100
session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 1440
session.gc_probability 1 1
session.hash_bits_per_character 4 4
session.hash_function 0 0
session.name PHPSESSID PHPSESSID
session.referer_check no value no value
session.save_handler files files
session.save_path no value no value
session.serialize_handler php php
session.use_cookies On On
session.use_only_cookies Off Off
session.use_trans_sid 0 0

Difficult ...

The next step i would do:

1. Try to repair the databse tables in ex. phpmyadmin
2. Deactivate one module one thing at a time, ex. rename per ftp

Maybe you can check is the problem inside the database.

In some cases modules they are not up-to-date (i mean old versions for old xoops versions) bring or come to clash. Did you try or did you has a chance to install a clean new xoops system to see if xoops, the server or anything else the problem?
