Issue with admin.php

Hi everybody,

I have an interesting problem (at least I think it's interesting). My guestbook at http://www.middleeastfacts.com/guestbook/ seems to be working fine except for one thing that the guests can't see. When I go to admin.php, I log in and it's fine (I get the blue admin screen with all the options). When I try to click on any of those options, I get kicked out to some thing like this: http://www.middleeastfacts.com/guestbook/admin.php?action=template&session=f40edd4d1b828fbcedb1cd156ef068b1&uid=1. Another topic http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1711 has the suggestion of replacing the old v2.2 session.class.php and that works, but is it a good solution? Can anybody propose a better solution?

Also, I know that there was a security issue with the admin login in version 2.2. Was the fixed for version 2.3.1?

Thanks!
Steve

I don't think replacing the file with the 2.2 version is a good solution. One should never go backwards. I believe the problem is with the database. The database for 2.2 had more tables and rows which the upgrade file didn't remove.

Somewhere in this Forum are instructions to run in PhpMyAdmin to fix the problem with database. (I haven't tried it; don't know if it works) A search for Admin AND loop should find it.

You might want to ask Carbonize if the script he created could be used for this. I don't know, since you already upgraded.

Maybe try what I posted :

No. People should follow Carbonize's instructions here or use his script:
