page not found when users try to log in

ok Raven I have an interesting problem for you. I have installed the platinum version of phpnuke on about 50 different sites and numerous different server types with little to no major problems that couldn't be fixed by some minor changes. But this one has me stumped. I installed it on one that now you can register fine, but when you try to login you go to the dreaded page not found. no error and when you refresh the page it goes back to the login page like you never entered anything. its not a cookie or cache issue, I have removed the htaccess file thinking it was that, no luck.

o but admins can login fine so that makes it even more confusing lol

Appreciate any help you can give.

Are the users actually in the nuke_user's table? What version of nuke? Any modifications?

yes the users are entered into the nuke_user table and appear in the latest registered users block. The version is a highly modified version of 6.9 called Platinum. I believe its a server issue. I will pm you the login info to the server. if you can take a look at it.

I have just discovered something that may be endemic with later versions of IE 6.x. When using a header() with Location, as in
header("Location: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]");
produces a Page Not Found. However, using
header("Location: modules.php?op=xxx&op2=yyy");
produces desired results. Now is this a fluke or what? I am almost positive that the former worked and is actually the correct way. But IE (6.0.2800.1126) appears to no longer accept this. What are your findings?

Works both ways for me on local win/apache test site with php 4.3.9
IE Version 6.0.2900.2180 Build 62900.2180

It sure don't here Laughing

I also see that my IE is still reading xpsp2 even though I reverted to xpsp1. Gee; do you think something isn't quite right? ROTFL

You mean i have to edit 10 versions of Nuke Patched? Ack !!

I'm just saying that that fixed it for me. I'm off to test another site now.

I am a little confused. which is my usual state lol, but even more so at the moment. I am assuming you are referring to this issue, but I do not believe this is an IE conflict, but some type of conflict with the server setup. Were you able to login to the site by changing a header line or reverting back to SP1? If that was the case then why would it not happen on all the other sites? Thanks for your assistance.
