Upgraded my localhost and I'm not finding any issues with any vBa products. :)

The only problem I am having is I cannot log in via the portal, it says that " POST requests from foreign hosts are not allowed. "

Try logging in via the portal, does it work for you?

Is anyone else having this issue?

[Brian]

Hmmm... I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the fact that you have your forums on a subdomain... Would you mind submitting a support ticket so I can have a look?

[error]

I'm having the exact same problem, and yes I also have my forums on a subdomain.

It worked before I upgraded to 3.0.4.

Thanks

Try looking in your forum/includes/init.php file for this:
// referrer check for POSTs

And right above it add this:
define('SKIP_REFERRER_CHECK', true);

Would this statement from vbulletin have anything to do with it??

"we have altered the code in order to prevent POST requests being made from off-site forms, preventing malicious and mischevious self-submitting forms from affecting vBulletin installations."

[Brian]

Yes. That code is recognizing a domain name as being separate from a sub-domain.

[Zachery]

You probaly shouldnt kill it totaly, not 100% sure if this will work

if (defined('VBA_SCRIPT'))
{
define('SKIP_REFERRER_CHECK', true);
}

Instead

[Brian]

Didn't think about that... I tried defining 'SKIP_REFERRER_CHECK' in login.php, but that didn't work for some reason. I'll look into a better method, but either should work fine for now.

[error]

Well I upgraded to 3.0.5 and it works without any modifications.

Thanks for all the help Brian!

My upgrade from 3.0.3 to 3.0.5 was flawless as well.

Zach! That didn't work...

Bryan, is it possible to have it like also check POST from foreign hosts BUT take login from the main page?

Thanks :)

I don't see another thread on this problem - I'm having it in 3.0.7 as well.
I'll try your correction in a moment, but it seems like it would be nice to have something that doesn't break the feature in vB (no externals) - I haven't ripped vb apart yet to figure out the code, or I would try.
I am technically not on a subdomain, but I'm guessing it's detecting some conflict in the way my webshost serves me, so this may be affecting quite alot of people (?)

[Brian]

Look in your login.php file for this code:
//define('SESSION_BYPASS', 1);


Add this right below it:
define('SKIP_REFERRER_CHECK', true);

And see if that takes care of the problem.

I'm getting conflicting reports - I can't produce the error myself, which is making me wonder. But several users report that (after that fix) they no longer get the error message, but are logged out when they move from portal to forums (after having signed in at the portal).


Any other ideas?
(btw just bought your gallery script, looks pimp so far, very nice work on it all)

Have you tried the suggestions posted in the FAQ forum about logging in problems?
