I upgraded to 1.7.4, then a user told me he can't log in and to see what's wrong I wanted to log-out. Well, I can't.
Neither on the index page nor in the cpanel.
Is this a version bug or can/shall I do something?
Also, I upgraded after my site obviously was hacked (browser hijack when going to the gallery from the cpanel on or calling up the index.php page - since it was only with this gallery and only that sites and neither ad-aware nor spybot nor mcafee could find anything I assumed it was the server/gallery that got hacked. The upgrade fixed that except when you just call the galelry directory itself (not index.php).
Can someone suggest what to check to fix that too?

Hello,
I am having the exact same problem.
It is an issue with the sessions that 4images creates.
In other words on a server running MySQL 4.1.21-standard and PHP 4.4.4 it won't create a session and allow you to login or out.
I did a MySQL check and got this error;
arctic_imggal.4images_categories OK
arctic_imggal.4images_comments OK
arctic_imggal.4images_groupaccess OK
arctic_imggal.4images_groupmatch OK
arctic_imggal.4images_groups OK
arctic_imggal.4images_images OK
arctic_imggal.4images_images_temp OK
arctic_imggal.4images_lightboxes OK
arctic_imggal.4images_postcards OK
arctic_imggal.4images_sessions
note : The storage engine for the table doesn't support check
arctic_imggal.4images_sessionvars OK
arctic_imggal.4images_settings OK
arctic_imggal.4images_users OK
arctic_imggal.4images_wordlist OK
arctic_imggal.4images_wordmatch OK
Also a link to my gallery http://www.arctic-monkeys.com/4images/
I also am aware that I am running an old template which doesnt support many of the new gallerys features (such as the captcha) so people can't register at the moment. But I can't login to change the template at the moment.
Thanks

Hi,
But I can't login to change the template at the moment.
What...
update the templates with ftp.... :wink:

I understand I can update using FTP but I'd rather have the ability to login first ;)
I wanted to change it back to the original 4images template.
-
I am sorry but what do you mean with update the template?
I have uploaded the files in templates/default dir but not the template dir I am using (chicque_black).
Wouldn't make sense to put that into the chicque_black dir would it?
The site that had the template (chicque black by Nova) is hacked too.
Is that some organised attack or what?

rename your template pack folder to something like MYTEMPLATEFOLDER_bak an then upload the default template pack and rename the folder from default to MYTEMPLATEFOLDER...
or use phpmyadmin or something like that to edit the settings directly in the database...
@Gwydion
Please do the same!
When you have change the Template to the default Template Pack we will take a look on your sites...

It has nothing to do with the template at all.
It is something to do with how 4images writes it's session data.
I have several pieces of software which run using session and I have no problems, only with 4images, it just wont let you login on that setup. I sent you the MySQL check which prove it.
Anyway I did what you said and changed the template.
I now get the errors shown below which must not show on the other template I was using;
Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp/sess_0d3539e318e5574a290a13556055759d, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
Thanks
I'll also supply information about PHP aswell;

please make a tmp folder in your root folder (http://www.arctic-monkeys.com/4images/tmp/) an chmod it to 777...

I don't think you quite understood the problem which had arisen here.
The session data is not written to the tmp directory in 4images, it is written to the tmp directory on the actual servers root. Making that tmp folder and chmodding it would not have worked one bit I don't think.
Anyway I rebuilt Apache and PHP aswell as building it with some different options. I couldn't for the life of me understand why it suddenly worked but it did.
It is something to do with php.ini and how it allows 4images to write to the tmp directory on the server.
If you do some googling it is apparently a bug in PHP.
Thanks for your help but if people are having problems try rebuilding PHP and Apache and see if it works.

If I simply rename the default template folder to mytemplate what good would that be? The template would be the default template then and not mytemplate.
I have also tried to change the standard template in the settings to default (this folder contains the 1.7.4 files) but logging out isn't possible either so I don't see why the renaming template stuff should work.
I agree with that the problem doesn't seem to be the template but some php stuff/bug in 1.7.4

Then you have not Problem with 4images, right? (o:

You will become no Support without the URL and without any error message... Sorry...

Hello;
just trying to help a bit.
Have you tried to create a folder called "sessions" with CHMOD 777 in your site root?
I am french, and in France, persons that are hosted by the ISP free.fr have to do it, unless sessions do not work.
Creating such a folder, as:
http://www.arctic-monkeys.com/sessions/gived good results.
Sorry, I do not know if it is THE answer, but perhaps have to try...
-
Sorry, forgot.
The link to the gallery (http://manawydan.net/thedemonsjumble/index.php)
There is no error message, as described in post one - I simply can't log out. Don't know whether I would be able to log in, at the moment I can't log out, that's it.
I can also not say what registered users or guests would see after the upgrade, because I am always seeing the page as admin.

first try this thread to update you templates:
http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=13755.0
i can't register on your site and i think that is the new captcha function which make trouble...

It WAS a problem with 4images because PHPBB and my File database both run using sessions and they had NO problems at all.
It is a compatability error with PHP 4.4.4 and 4images.
The problem has been fixed in PHP but the version number hasn't changed.
4Images was unable to write to the /tmp directory on the servers root, not the websites root because of the problem in PHP and 4images.
Simply update Apache on your server and rebuild PHP 4.4.4 and it will work again. You can do this in WHM by clicking Apache Update.

1. update template
thanks for the link but what should I do with it? The link goes to a thread where the change(s) is(are) listed - what does that mean to me? I don't do templates. Should I change this part now back to the previous version?
Heres a detailed list of what changed in templates.
search_form.html
Code:
<input type="radio" name="search_terms" value="all" checked="checked" />
{lang_and}
<input type="radio" name="search_terms" value="any" />
{lang_or}
is replaced by
Code:
<input type="radio" name="search_terms" value="any" checked="checked" />
{lang_or}
<input type="radio" name="search_terms" value="all" />
{lang_and}
well ok .. and now?
2. captcha
Ok, for all who have similar problems and no idea about captcha (as I had):
Q: What is CAPTCHA?
A: A CAPTCHA (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human. (you can find more info about it here)
Q: How do I enable/disable CAPTCHA or how do I control it?
A: You can control the CAPTCHA system in your config.php by inserting the following configuration variables above closing ?>:
$captcha_enable = 1;
etc. (http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=14690.0)
Ok, so I added this to config.php, set to 0. Since I have no idea whether or not it's necessary I aadded it to config.new.php too.
Result: zero, nada, null, none.
I still can't log out.
So, please - what the heck is wrong with my gallery? Or the new version? Or with me that I don't get it? *desparate*
