unable to sign out

jackmaessen

Using 2.0.18.10
I noticed that it is unable to sign out ( tested in Firefox browser) even when i deleted all the .ini files in the cache folder and after several refreshes of the browser.
Is it possible that it has something to do with my .htaccess file? Should i change something in this?

# compress text, html, javascript, css, xml:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

# Compress .htm, .html en .less
<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html|less)$">
  SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>


# Cache

What do you mean by unable to sign out?

Is there no sign out link?

Does clicking the link not do anything?

Does clicking the link direct you to another page but you remain logged in?

Are you using any type on connection plugins?

Of course there is a signout link, and when clicking on it, it redirects to discussions page; but the name of the user still keeps alive on the screen, and he is not really signed out because you can post a new discussion; so the login session keeps alive. When i empty the browser cache, then you can sign out.
I am not using any kind of connection plugins.

hgtonight

Sessions data is stored in cookies.

Try it on a few more browsers to see if it is a browser issue.

Are you using any type of connection plugins?

This is really strange. In Chrome and IE you can sign out without problem. So it looks like this problem only appears in Firefox.

hgtonight

This is most likely an issue with a plugin you have enabled in FF. Try disabling your plugins one by one until you find out which one caused the issue.

Please report back so others may know.

jackmaessen

well, i disabled all the plugins of FF but it didn't change anything. But i figured out that when i uncomment all the lines of my .htaccess except the compression, FF also signs out. So there is a problem with the cache, the cookie is not deleted when you sign out. But this problem is only in FF. I tested in Chrome, IE, Opera en Safari and all of them signed me out.

what happens if you start with original and remove only

# Default directive
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"

jackmaessen

i figured something out: it is not only 1 line, it seems to be 2 lines who are responsible for the behaviour of FF.
I disabled these 2 lines:

<filesMatch ".(html|htm|php)$">
    #Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, public"    disabled
</filesMatch>

# Javascript
#ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 year"    disabled

Now i can singout with FF. But i still do not understand that this only happens in FF and not in the other browsers...

EDIT:
I tested again and i now have the same problem; can not sign out.
One of the members of the forum told me that sometimes he could sing out on FF, and sometimes not. This is really strange...

The browser interprets headers however they want.

<filesMatch ".(html|htm|php)$">
    #Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, public"      disabled
</filesMatch>

# Default directive
#ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"       disabled

# Javascript
#ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 year"       disabled

This seems to work! I tried several times login and logout on FF and now every time he logs me out.
So it is a combination of lines that should be disabled for FF.
