Security check refuses to accept the correct number

Script URL: http://www.salonsupport.hairstylists.co ... /links.php
Version of script: Latest
Version of PHP: 4.3.X
Hosting company: freeola
Have you searched THIS FORUM for your problem: yes
(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try: security

Write your message below:

First of all may I thank the script writer for writing these great scripts and for providing them for free. Thankyou.

My problem is only small, but will interfere with the usability of Linkman.
When trying to post a new link in either IE or Firefox through links.php I fail at the last hurdle of entering the security number.
I can add links manually through the administration panel, and everything else seems to be working fine.
I have searched the forum and found a similar problem with Gbook but not quite the same. When I input the security check number the script reports "Wrong security number. Please try again" but does not change the security number.
Could someone offer me a little help in the right direction?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Seems like you are having problems with sessions, please upload this file to your server and link it here, might give some clues: http://www.phpjunkyard.com/extras/phpinfo.zip

And also this one:

Thankyou Klemen, that does seem to have fixed the problem, however when the spam check is completed the next page says Error: Cannot open Remote URL.

Is that something we can fix too or is it to do with the server?

Thanks.

That is server-side problem, contact your hosting company and ask if file_get_contents() PHP function has been disabled for remote URLs.

Regards

Hi Klemen,
I have similar problem, getting
"Wrong security number. Please try again"
message
Here are my session tests:
http://www.europeanmuseumforum.eu/session_test.php
and phpinfo
http://www.europeanmuseumforum.eu/phpinfo.php
Any clue as to how to fix this.
Manual submission works fine
It seems that it only happens on Firefox, the form does work on IE just fine.
Still would be nice to fix it for Firefox


UPDATE: for some unknown reason, when attempting to add new link,
I see this error now:
Internal script error. Wrong session parameters!
on adlink.php page
And I have not changed anything except running the session tests.
Again , this is only in Firefox.

Where exactly is the script installed so I can test it?

Do you have any cookie blocking add-ons installed in FireFox?
