After importing the data with the fix detailed on another thread I then logon using my user name and password. My user is an administrator on the old ubbthreads 6.5.5. boards. when I log in I get http mis behaving header errors and nothing loads. Without logging in I can see the forums I am supposed to see. I log in the site dies. Would a missing stylesheet have something to do with this. Usually it just loads without the style and images.

Can you provide a URL to your Version 7 forums and what the Apache error log is telling you about the misbehaving headers?

Yes I am testing the conversion on http://www.gamemaster.ws/forums/

I use IIS

it stops loading and hangs here.


btw.. all forums are showing now.. it's ignoring security

Feel free to create an account.. It happens to any user. I just created test with password test..

it gets the error exactly.

Hmm, right now when trying to login I'm getting a CGI error stating that not all headers were sent. Can you check your webserver error logs and see if it's putting any info in there?

all it shows after login is the .css loads, the .js loads and 2 gifs load then boom. sends the generic error message you get. I can navigate everything on the site no issue.. when I am authenticated I go boom.

I use Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6.0, PHP 4.4.2 and MYSql 4.0X

let me know if you want full ftp access rick

Yeah, I might need ftp access to get in and actually do some debugging.

I sent you a private message with access. Do whatever you need to do

Play as much as you want to.. this is a non production server.

Ok, you're fixed. Basically it was an issue when I was trying to do a Location: redirect. I was using the BASE_URL, but really needed to be using FULL_URL. Fixed your site, fixed for the next beta.

If anyone else runs across an issue like this. Line 280 of ubbthreads.php looks like this:

header("Location: {$config['BASE_URL']}/ubbthreads.php?ubb={$results['location']}");

It needs to look like this:

header("Location: {$config['FULL_URL']}/ubbthreads.php?ubb={$results['location']}");

Wow very nice. Yes I was going to say when using the installer I had an issue. Check the install scripts too. when you put in tha abolute and relative URL's correctly it would not validate the site when it tested things as it stepped through setup. If you got it right the site would crash the setup program and not allow you to go further.

That makes sense now. I just thought it was an installer problem.

Is this code in more then 1 spot ? I can log into my administrator on the boards but when I hit control panel it does it again.

Yes, there are other spots I need to fix up that I'm tracking down now, but the initial control panel isn't one of them. I think that, might be related to this:

Ahh ok because it looks exactly like the same problem when it goes to those parts of the program.
