Private Messages Invalid Sessions

Posted: Sat Apr 20, 2019 3:20 am

Greetings All,

I am getting "Invalid Session" when sending a PM. It is almost always vie Cellphones. So I am guessing it is a IP6 issue. The forums work as expected. It is just the PM's that seems to be the problem.

Anyone have any ideas on what it COULD be?

Here on RPS or on your own website?
Which browser you are using on your mobile device?
Did you checked the "Cookie settings" in the Forums administration?

This is on my site. Just about any cellphone connection will do it.

Go to Forums-Administration: General Admin / Configuration and check...

Cookie domain: .domain.tld (optional)
Cookie path: / (important)

I have one user (at least only one reported it) that is getting invalid session errors any time he tries to post a PM or forum post. In my case, I think it must have something to do with turning on secure cookie path. The site has been forcing https for quite awhile now, but I just turned on secure cookie path a couple days ago. When I turned it off again, the user was able to post again.

Any suggestions?

Sounds strange but I will test it in the next days with RPS.

I figured it out. Apparently, I had commented out the code to force HTTPS. So, thinking I was forcing HTTPS when in reality my desktop short cut was https I was seeing a secure site but no one else was. Therefore, when I enabled secure cookie path everthing was working fine for me, but others were getting the invalid session error.

Why only one person let me know this was the case is irritating, but once I re-enabled forcing HTTPS and secure cookie path everything is working fine.

Thanks, and sorry for hijacking the thread. I thought it might be related.
