Update from 2.1.10 to 2.2b1 Problem

Dr_Sommer

Ok, new try...

1. I copied the existing forum and DB (2.1.10) and put them together to work, also I changed the Cookie Name and Salt!
2. In the copy I updated the Forum with the 2.2b1 Files
3. I turned debug on with $Configuration['Debug'] = true;
4. I did "myforum.de/utility/update"
5. I got an Success, but this warnings:

6. Forum looked fine, everything ok
7. now I logged out from the Forum
8. Then, when I then press the "sign in" button it pops ups just the sign in div without any Input (as shown here) AND AFTER TWO SECONDS it redirects me to the old Forum to sign in!!!
9. If I rename the old forum folder and try the above once again, I get the famous "This webpage has a redirect loop" error...

I catch this before it redirects with "Firefox Inspect element":

It replaces the location to the old forum!!! Whyyyy!?!?!?
The old forum url is "http://caba.de/CaBaFoRuM" and the new "http://caba.de/CaBaFoRuMtest"

I also tried everything with, and without the .htaccess Files.... no changes in behaviour...

Does somebody know how to stop this replacement? In the config.php there is nothing to find related to that URL... :O

p.s.: I also did delete the old config.php and made the new install setup with db name etc. So it should not be an plugin issue...

p.p.s.: You can test it yourself: go to http://caba.de/CaBaFoRuMtest/ and klick "sign in" or "register"

Dr_Sommer

Hehe... have the feeling, I'm talking to myself...
Just a small Notice:
I also disabled "Allowoveride" in Apache2 to be shure, no .htaccess is messing somewhere else...

Dr_Sommer

OK, Try number 34567...

I did a fresh install of Vanilla Forum 2.2b1 with a empty DB
Everything works fine!!! Login and register also!!!

Now i did just change the database... from the empty one to the, from 2.1.10 converted 2.2b1 DB!!! AAAnnnd there is the Login/Register error again!!!

So something is stored in the DB, that causes this issue... i think... :O

p.s.: could it be something related to the fact, that I was coming from a phpBB Forum??

Try to export the db and search for the URL of your original forum

Dr_Sommer

Ha! So easy and so genius!!! ThX, RJ... :* :*

in the DB Export file I found one entry in "GDN_Comment", witch can be ignored, but I found the critical URLs, both for signin and registry in "GDN_UserAuthenticationToken" !!!
So what the F...inger is that??
Looked into phpmyadmin and it turns out there is an Leftover from "jsconnect plugin"!!!
I used that plugin for some experiments in the past, but its off for a long time!!

If THIS is the answer.... THEN, ladies and Gentleman... how the Germans would say, "Then I wash my hands in innocence..."

Can I just delete that DB Entry??
I'll try that on Monday.... now its so a lovely and Sunny Day... despite that I'm anxious as hell if that is the error, I have to go out to make some sports and get some Vitamin D...

ThX again, RJ... hope this is it!!!
Are You from Germany? If so, let me buy you 3 Beers, just tell me where to find you... I'll come with my Bike... Germany is not so big....

Falls du das Oktoberfest besuchen solltest, kannst du mich ganz in der Nähe von der Wiesn in einer Kellerkneipe am Kicker finden

Ich glaube mir verpassen ein Witz; aber ich werde zum Oktoberfest.

R_J

No joke there, just a short description on where to find me if you happen to visit the Okoberfest

Dr_Sommer

Hahaaa!!! YESS!!! That was it!!!!
This must be an issue of the b1, cause the JSConnect Plugin was definitely off!!

@R_J : Ein paar Bierchen sind Dir sicher, ob am Oktoberfest, oder woanders...
Wenn Du in FFM bist, klingel mal durch...

ThX, RJ, and all you other Girls n Guys...

p.s.: have to correct myself: the URL was found in GDN_UserAuthenticationProvider !!
