Advanced Guestbook Login, Cannot Use Administration Links

Here is a bizarre one.

My advanced guestbook has worked fine.

All of the sudden, now when I login, I get the normal choices:
Private Messages | Easy Admin | General Settings | Style | Templates | Smilies | Password | Logout

HowEver: When I click on ANY of the LINKS, it goes back to the USERNAME/PASSWORD template. (admin.pl)

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I assume we are talking about Advanced Guestbook 1.5 and you say you made no changes at all to the guestbook?

Version 2.2.

Yes I made changes and everything has worked fine for months.

Then this phenomina (sp).

Thanks.

Weird. With you saying admin.pl I would of said 1.5 as 2.2 uses PHP. I believe your problem lies in the LAST_VISIT field of the book_auth table. This problem is usualy associated with updating from 2.2 to 2.3.x and not updating the guestbook. Do you have access to phpMyAdmin?

Yes. I have access. I went into it to delete a spam entry. It works fine.

Here where it bounces to after clicking one of the administrative links: Easy Admin

admin.php?action=show&tbl=gb&session=c83708e5e259debcffc51bb5133f3543&uid=1

Can you tell me what field type the LAST_VISIT field is in book_auth. If memory serves is should be of the type timestamp.

Field Type Attributes Null Default Extra Action
ID smallint(5) No auto_increment
username varchar(60) No
password varchar(60) No
session varchar(32) No
LAST_VISIT timestamp(14) Yes NULL
Check All / Uncheck All With selected:

Looks correct to me. Send me the session.class.php file from your lib folder so I can check it please. webmaster@carbonize.co.uk

Hello Carbonize.

Suddenly it started working again.

I got your last email about upgrading the new version.

Did you do any other work on it after that?

Everything is now working fine.

Very bizarre.

Thanks for your multiple helps.

I don't do any work on the Advanced Guestbook except for the mods I write. I am personally working on an offshoot of Advanced Guestbook called Lazarus.

hey duddes,
I get the same problem. can someone tell me how to solve this.

kind regards

This problem usually only happens when you try to update from 2.2 to 2.3.x. The usual problem is that the LAST_VISIT field of the book_auth table in the database should be of the type timestamp in 2.2 and int in 2.3.x and if it's not you get this loop. This is only one possible cause but is the usual culprit.
