I am very aware that this problem is lurking on the board many times, it seems however I may be having a server issue but I am not sure. I have this guestbook on three sites and this site seems to be the one that won't work, all the others do!

I can not get by the security pages in text and graphic mode, I have tried every suggestion and I can't get it to work. Am I missing something? Any suggestions would be GREAT.

BTY: IT works fine in Firefox but not IE 7.

I can't sign it with neither FF or IE7, you obviously have problems with sessions. Post links to these two files here and I will have a look (you will find both files in topic "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING A NEW QUESTION!!"):

URL of phpinfo.php:
URL of session_test.php:

here are the links:
http://www.mjkinsmenfestival.com/gbook/phpinfo.php
http://www.mjkinsmenfestival.com/gbook/session_test.php
http://www.mjkinsmenfestival.com/gbook/ ... _test2.php

I was able to sign in with FF last night butI can't now either, I may have messed with the permissions or something? I'm not sure.

Thanks for such a quick response and I really appreciate all your help.

You probably turned security image off when you signed it?

You have problems with PHP sessions, contact your host and ask them if they can check PHP sessions, they don't seem to work. You can point them to these two files (session variable is not preserved throughout pages):
http://www.mjkinsmenfestival.com/gbook/session_test.php
http://www.mjkinsmenfestival.com/gbook/ ... _test2.php

If you have access to this folder:
/services/webdata/php_sessions
you can check if it's writable by PHP scripts (chmod it to 777).

I have contacted the host, I will keep you posted. I do appreciate the quick response. I love this guestbook and I will keep you posted.

Thanks Again,

This is weird to me. The gd_test.php file works but when I bring up my page I still do not see the security image at the bottom.

The page is http://www.dabassplaya.com/dbpbook/dbp_guest.php

Can someone tell me what I might be overlooking?

I can see the image and was able to sign it without a problem.

I found my mistake. I changed the name of my gbook and forgot to change it in the security file. Everythings works fine now. Thanks for the reply Klemen.

Thankyou for your Guestbook Files. I also am having problems with getting the Graphical security image to appear. When I enable it in the settings file (1) all I see (on both Mac/PC FF 2.00) are the words "Security image"; When I change the settings file to Text (2) I see the number, however if I attempt to post the message without inputting the Text Security number, the error page comes up asking me to input the number again, but it has disappeared.

My guess would be problems with sessions, but can't be of any help unless you upload session_test.php and phpinfo.php files and post links here.

My apologies for forgetting to upload these files for you. They are online now.

http://www.deanwoods.com.au/gbook/session_test.php
http://www.deanwoods.com.au/gbook/session_test2.php

I have also changed their CHMOD each to rw-rw-rw (666), is that correct?

Regards,
Brendan

Just as I thought - your sessions aren't working. Contact your host and ask them to check why yoru PHP sessions aren't working. You can give them the session_test.php file for reference as a simple sessions test.

As for CHMOD - only the entires.txt and banned_ip.txt files should be 666, other files shouldn't be writable. Leave them as they are by default, probably 644.

Many thanks for your prompt replies - powweb.com are usually very prompt also - highly recommended as a webhost, which is where I found your scripts.

Many thanks,
Brendan

Oh, in case you have access to the /var/php_sessions folder make sure it's chmod to 777
