You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Huh, this time it kept me logged in.

Which means you must do the manual log in.

Nobody

When I got here this morning, I too was logged out. I didn't think anything of it, but it also didn't remember me. Other than having to input my password manually (oh! the horror!), I had no problems though, and it accepted my log in the first time.

I'm on ie 6, I do believe.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I don't know PHP very well, but from what I'm reading, PHP keeps its session data (i.e. cookies) in the directory session_save_path(). It looks like the files in session_save_path() are getting clobbered. Thanks, HostRocket.

No. What seems to be going on is that the "Buffistas Home" link is pointing to "buffistas.org", while the session cookie in your browser was set by "www.buffistas.org" (and is only sent back to that site). If I hit the "Buffistas Home" link I get logged out, but if I type www.buffistas.org by hand it works.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah-ha! I thought it was just me. Considering I just sent a half-finished email, it seemed entirely possible I had logged myself out.

Up with the sun

I had the same problem this a.m.

BTW, I didn't know before that in guest mode you can't see user profiles. It's a nice feature.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Paul, what was the $SERVER_NAME in the php_info that I sent you?

Once again -- no code has changed. It's the server config that's bouncing around.


PaulJ - Apr 23, 2003 7:35:09 am PDT #3900 of 10000

I don't know, ita. I don't have it here at work.


Megan E. - Apr 23, 2003 7:44:25 am PDT #3901 of 10000

Just logged in again with no trouble.

Give me a yell when you get to it, could you?

The host name shouldn't be hardcoded anywhere, so once you're logged in to buffistas.org, everything should work properly.

I'm just pissed they keep changing things (like whatever broke the e-mail) and being so blasé or dismissive about it.
