There are already some threads about the Admin CP not working, but I found out what was the problem.

My forum is: http://bma.forumer.com
It is on server 1. So, the full address is http://bma.1.forumer.com

The Admin CP is on: http://bma.1.forumer.com/admin.php
So far no problems!

Then, I try to log in.

The page tries to send me to http://bma.2.forumer.com/admin.php?adsess=.....
Of course, http://bma.2.forumer.com doesn't exist, therefore I get an error message.

The problem can be seen clearly when looking at the source code.
I'll include the full source code, but without the style elements.

Code:

<html>
      <head><title>Menu</title>
      <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
   <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">

    if (id2 != '') expMenu(id2);
  	}
  	
  	function expMenu(id) {
    var itm = null;
    if (document.getElementById) {
   itm = document.getElementById(id);
    } else if (document.all){
   itm = document.all[id];
    } else if (document.layers){
   itm = document.layers[id];
    }
  	
    if (!itm) {
    // do nothing
    }
    else if (itm.style) {
   if (itm.style.display == "none") {
    itm.style.display = "";
   }
   else {
    itm.style.display = "none";
   }
    }
    else {

    }

    else { pages = Math.ceil( total_posts / per_page ); }
    msg = "Choose a page between 1 and" + " " + pages;
    if ( cur_st > 0 ) { cur_page = cur_st / per_page; cur_page = cur_page -1; }
    show_page = 1;
    if ( cur_page < pages ) { show_page = cur_page + 1; }
    if ( cur_page >= pages ) { show_page = cur_page - 1; }
    else { show_page = cur_page + 1; }
    userPage = prompt( msg, show_page );
    if ( userPage > 0 ) {
    if ( userPage < 1 )   {  userPage = 1; }
    if ( userPage > pages ) { userPage = pages; }
    if ( userPage == 1 )  {   start = 0;  }

Those who can read HTML see what the problem is:

Code:

<form action='http://bma.2.forumer.com/admin.php?adsess=' method='post' name='theAdminForm' >

So I think the administrators have to change the '2' in '1'.
I don't know if this is the same with other servers.

I hope my (very long) post can help the administrators.

Greetz,
Dimitri

You are a GEM Dimitri!!!

Well done mate..let's hope Admin can sort this out soon.

Stratocaster · 07-22-2004, 05:01 AM

Well done pal ! Does that mean that we can not do anything until they change it with the clue and tips you gave them??!

imported_Elyria · 07-22-2004, 05:02 AM

Yeah same here

spot on Dimitri!

guy_incognito · 07-22-2004, 05:03 AM

good work. it appears that it isnt set with the macro (preset abbreviated action). i dont know what the macro is for that, but it shouldnt be action='http://bma.2.forumer.com/admin.php?adsess=', it should be something like action='$admin' or $submit. but i dont really know sourcing that much.

Avernus · 07-22-2004, 05:43 AM

excellent spotting dimitri!

i could have tried a million times and never picked up on that :lol:

good work matey

at least we all know the problem now, hehehe

cheers!

This will not fix the problem! I´ve tried it out by downloading the whole ACP login page with my browser and changing all the wrong redirectings - in my case the ACP is redirected to server #2 instead of #3 - within the HTML code to the right server, but it has no effect! I still can´t login into the ACP and get the "404" error message again. There must be going something wrong, which we don´t see at this time.
But maybe this information would be usefull to the server admins to fix the problem?! So I post it here.

JohnWayne · 07-22-2004, 06:38 AM

Dont want to annoy you Dimitri, but i've already posted that fakt in the other thread here !

guy_incognito · 07-22-2004, 06:39 AM

I have a solution! Be quiet and let them work!

Stratocaster · 07-22-2004, 06:52 AM

Good idea, but it would be nice if they could have it done soon...

SplanK · 07-22-2004, 06:59 AM

yep - i can confirm this error exists on my board as well...
im on server 3 but the control pannel points to server 2

nice work there mate

update:
ive just downloaded the login page, changed the TWO address link that were wrong, and it logs in fine... untill it redirects u to the frame page - seems as though some sort of automatic script has gone belly up on their side...

although anybody notice how reliable the boards are today appart from this small issue??
