PHPSESSID problem

Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 7:06 pm

Through the behavior of several bots I checked my site with some tools and I found first that my site isn´t valid anymore because of such warnings:

Quote:

cannot generate system identifier for general entity "PHPSESSID".
<a href="index.php?newlang=english&PHPSESSID=29bcef894f1d95006
general entity "PHPSESSID" not defined and no default entity.
reference to entity "PHPSESSID" for which no system identifier could be generated.

Very bad, I have now urls like this:

account.html?PHPSESSID=f17ea037abc0
- downloads.html?PHPSESSID=f17ea037
- forums.html?PHPSESSID=f17ea037abc
- news.html?PHPSESSID=f17ea037abc09
- topics.html?PHPSESSID=f17ea037abc09

I never had this problem before and I really don´t know why this suddenly changed and which file I can check again. Is it also possible that this has to do something with my web hoster ? Any ideas how to solve this would be great !

This problem is fixed if I comment out that line in includes/nukesentinel.php:

Code:

define("NUKESENTINEL_IS_LOADED", TRUE);


//session_start();

My tools shows nice urls again.

Maybe I should not use this nukesentinel version with my configuration, because it seems some blockers doesn´t work like before.

Comment out what line? The session_start() line is commented out in the later releases of NukeSentinel(tm). What version are you using?

I´m talking about the NukeSentinel version 71_77_230 I had this strange problem.In the next version 231 the session_start line is comment out.

Ah. Well, you need to upgrade to to v2.4.2 ASAP.

Would be better, but doesn´t work with my 6.5 configuration.

It should if you update to the 3.1 patch.

But 3.1 hasn't been updated for 6.5 .. Smile

Really if you can, upgrade to the 7.x series.
I don't know if anyone will manage to get the Patched 3.1 for 6.x - who has the time to update..

I know this.That´s the dilemma with old nuke versions and some specials modules. OffTopic

Officially, no. But, I run 6.9 and I adapted it Wink

Actually all your need is NukePatched 2.9.

Cool
I used 6.9 for quite a while, but since I didn't run that site anymore, I haven't kept it to the latest Patched
