[Problem] Adding bots and Deleting inactive users

[bariq]

Hi,

Iam having 2 problems on my site

1) Iam getting regular bot visits from google to my website and they index the site. Now a days when i try to add the pending bots then iam getting an page not found error. I used to add pending bots before without any problem. Iam running my site on a windows box and there are no permission problems. So can anyone help me out?

Is there a particular limit to the number of bots addresses/ip's being added?

I noticed that the SID is missing from the page url when i click add bot link.

Iam confused... pls help me out here

Following is the url for the bots management and the error message.

http://www.mytikas.org/portal/admin/index.php?admin=1




2) I cant delete inactive users from the inactive users screen. When i check the checkbox beside the username and click the delete button i get a page not found error.
http://www.mytikas.org/portal/admin/adm ... ode=delete

I have checked that the i have the admin_users_inactive.php page but it still i get the page not found message.

I get the same page not found when i try to edit the bots too. Both pages dont have the SID in the url.

Iam running integramod 1.4 with all the patches on a windows box.

Any help appreciated.

Turn debug back on for more detailed error messages. See if this sheds more light on the problem.

Personally I suggest only turning it off on a board that is final.

Setting the debug on (portal/includes/constant.php - debug=1) didnt helped in isolating the problem in anyway. When i try to delete inactive user or add bots i get the same page not found msg.

URL that shows up is http://www.mytikas.org/portal/admin/index.php?admin=1

Any ideas yet ?

Is there a way in ACP where i could have disabled the sid to be linked to delete inactive users and add/edit bots ?

How about the CHMOD ? are they all OK ?

Thanks for the response. well permissions are ok. Its a windows box. I used to delete inactive users and add/edit bots before. All of a sudden after i added a link which doesnt need sid for the bots to index my site, this problem started. Now i deleted that link from the menu but the problem still stays.

Is your site hosted on a dedicated server, or shared? If dedicated, do you have terminal service access to it?

Windows does require specific permissions for the IUSR_{computername} account. When you compare the CHMOD permissions on the install instructions page, make sure that for every file listed to CHMOD 666 or 777, that IUSR_{computername} has Modify/Write priviledges.

If you don't have terminal service access, check with your host, to see if they can change the permissions for you.

i think that Fubie or Found it have a chmodder done if u can't do it give them the Chmodder to work with

hi jason and ilia, Thanks for the pointers.

But if its a permission issue then the whole php page cant be accessed not selective access. Here is a example:

http://www.mytikas.org/portal/admin/adm ... 33c8928cd0
shows me the list of the inactive users

but when i try to delete one inactive user after selecting the check box
http://www.mytikas.org/portal/admin/adm ... ode=delete

I get page not found <img>

Both functions are accessing the same php file. so any other ideas ?

Hi Iliia,
Its not half uploaded file, well i uploaded the files many times but no luck in fixing the problem.

I posted the url's to show the way sid is being carried with the first and there is no sid in the second.

finally sat today to do some debugging of the code i have as its not going anywhere and the problem was still there.

well this is what i found...

users_inactive_body.tpl

Take a look at the "&" after the php file...

<input>
<input>
<input>

now changing the above code to this, replacing "&" after the php file with "?" solves the problem

<input>
<input>
<input>

why was this code working normally before? if something.php&mode is taken as a whole filename and something.php? is taken as filename and parameter.

I know nuts about php, i just used my asp knowledge to figure out whats going on.

cuz in php if u want to use variable via url all u need is to give to the php file the variable and their information exemple for this topic we are using ! viewtopic.php file and with the variable t=139 T it's used in php for topic ID so we are in viewtopic.php file where "?" T topic ID is 139 .
