CMSMS 1.6.6 - Browse to insert image still brings up login page

[Rolf]

I haven't heard anything new since my last post on Oct 12, where I copied the site to a subdomain so we could turn on debug mode and they could investigate further.

Urr  I'm sorry jmires, but I didn't read your post of Oct. 13th yet! I was waiting for a reaction from your side...
Perhaps I accidentally unsubscribed myself for mails from this topic. By coincidence I saw your last forum post yesterday on my mobile phone.
I'm on it again 

@Graeme,
If you have the same problem, please provide us with information from your website which could lead to a solution... Or lead to reproducing this issue.

Grtz. Rolf

Okay, that helped!!! 

Debug display of 'End of include':(0.320548) - (5065748)
Debug: (0.320685) - (5023852)

No session found.  Now check for cookies

Debug: (0.320749) - (5023852)

No cookies found.  Redirect to login.

and now...

[Graeme]

Thanks,

Does this many there are lots of users out there that can't insert images or is it limited to those on the latest version?

No, I really don't think soo... If that was the case the forum would flooded with questions!
A few people have these problems and at the moment it looks like the server settings are the problem...

I am suddenly seeing this problem after upgrading to the latest (1.6.6).  Everything was fine in 1.6.5...

Let me know if I can provide more info to help.

Hmm  

Any info which could lead to reproducing this issue is very welcome!

Please put your System Information here.
Any errors in the error_log?
Any errors when debug is on?

Thanks Rolf 

[Rolf]

It seems that problem is in permissions for writing webserver to session.save_path directory, or in existing that directory (usually /tmp). So my advice is to check/change ownership/permissions for that directory or contact your hosting administrator to do that.

Thanks for your reply, Theo.

If that is the case you could also try to create a new folder in the root of the site with the FileManager, named f.e. 'sessiontemp'
Add into (or create) the .htaccess file in the root of the website:

Code: Select all

php_value session_save_path "sessiontemp"

The new folder is created by CMSMS so it is the owner, writing shouldn't be a problem then [ I hope...  ]

Jmires, Graeme and Merrony, please try these possible solutions and we will wait for your reply.

Regards, Rolf

Hmmm...

I'm more puzzled than ever now.  Today there is no problem.  The only thing I have (knowingly) done is to Clear the Cache.

I seriously doubt the directory permissions theory - mine is set to /tmp and that has drwxrwxrwt permissions - so anyone can do anything in it.

(Do you really want all the CMSMS System Info put in here?)

I cannot do this exactly as you suggest (because I running CMSMS on lighttpd), but it worked when I change save_path in php.ini.

Doesn't matter how it is solved, aslong as it is solved  I hope this will work for the others as well! Letting the host CHange OWNership is the cleanest solution.

I find this solution by turning on the debug mode in config.php (there was a warning message on the end of page), and this could be also the reason why you cannot find this problem so easy

Reproducing wasn't an option, debug gave errors but nothing which lead to file permissions or ownership (See post #16)

I'm more puzzled than ever now.  Today there is no problem.  The only thing I have (knowingly) done is to Clear the Cache.

I saw this behaviour on the website from Jmires and like you said, the problem isn't facing every time.

I seriously doubt the directory permissions theory - mine is set to /tmp and that has drwxrwxrwt permissions - so anyone can do anything in it.

Permission (CHMOD) is something else as Ownership (CHOWN) of a file. But you are right, the combination is strange. But what do we have to loose  There isn't much to work on.

(Do you really want all the CMSMS System Info put in here?)

Yes, please. You can use the copy function and you can take the urls out of it, if you want...
There are a few people having this problem and nobody has reproduced the problem yet. Soo everything which could lead to a solution is welcome...

It looks like you have to set all folder permissions to 777  Fileowner issue... ??? http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... l#msg44063

Current PHP Version (phpversion): 5.3.0 Success

CMS Made Simple doesn´t support PHP version 5.3.0 yet... http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/about-link/ #6. What are the system requirements? This could be creating problems...

For now, Rolf 

[utopia]

I have been looking into this problem and it seems the issue is the browser URL that is generated for the filepicker when you click the browse button. It ends up looking like this:

http://www.site.com/modules/TinyMCE/fil ... type=image

You will see there are two ? after the PHP file. The check login script is looking for a URL parameter called "sp_" but there is only "?sp_". I therefore altered modules/TinyMCE/templates/tinyconfig.tpl by finding this line:

var cmsURL = "{$rooturl}/modules/TinyMCE/filepicker.php?{$urlext}&type="+type;

and replacing with:

var cmsURL = "{$rooturl}/modules/TinyMCE/filepicker.php{$urlext}&type="+type;

Seems to work for us.

[Rolf]

Thanks for your input, Utopia. And welcome here on the forum

Looked into the SVN on this...

Oct. 3 2009 Calguy made changes to this file Rev. 543
Changelog: "v2.4.5 - Modified to work with session.use_cookies = 0"

Code: Select all

var cmsURL = "{$rooturl}/modules/TinyMCE/filepicker.php{$urlext}&type="+type;

This changed file was included in the 1.6.6 (base) release...
So, please check if this file is in fact on your server, perhaps something went wrong during the upload...
