We are still working out a few issues with the client app and hope to have the project fully operational in the next couple of weeks.

Just join the project and no WU for my Windows/x86. Could it be possible to add the link to server status on the front page?

Sorry about that. I hadn't anticipated so many new volunteers, so the project ran out of work. Should be good now. I still need to automate the work creation process so that this wont happen again.

And yes, I will add a link to server status on the main page. Thanks for the suggestion.

Message 481 - Posted: 10 Mar 2012, 9:54:12 UTC

I know that the project has been running fine for a while now but I am having a few project start up type issues.

I have to constantly re-log into my account every time I back out of the account page (not log out just use backspace to return to the main page to post on the Forum for instance), and then try go back to my account page.

If I go to my account I am asked to log in, even though I have the "Stay logged In" box ticked.
I log in and all OK whilst I am in the account, I then back out so I can go to the Forum to post or read the messages.
If I try to post I am asked to log in again as the system has logged me out when I backed out of my Account page.

I can only add to existing Threads as there is no way to start a new Thread due to the fact that I am no longer logged in.
(This is why I have restarted this thread).

It is getting a bit tiresome to be constantly logging in all the time. My other project are not doing this.

I use Firefox on a AMD Phemon X4 955 computer running Fedora 16 64 bit.

Thanks

Conan

Message 492 - Posted: 10 Mar 2012, 19:46:46 UTC - in response to Message 481.  

Ok. I was able to duplicate your problem. Until I figure this out, here is a short term solution. In fact this is how I normally operate, which is why I never realized there was a problem:

If you never go back past the original log in screen, then you will remain logged in. So for example, from the account page scroll to the bottom and click on message boards, then you can post without the login problem. Every page has the same basic links at the bottom which can take you to your account, the main page, or the message boards, without having to go backwards. I hope that is useful in the short term...

It's odd that this doesn't happen on other projects, since most projects use the same php/html code base. Maybe they have a recent update that I don't???

Thanks Eric,

I will do that, but to me it is annoying for as I said I just go back and forth using the browser not specific links. Been doing it like this for years.

There are one or two other projects this has happened on, but mostly they get fixed or I stop going to my account page on those projects.

Thanks

I can't reproduce the login problem with either the latest chrome or firefox. I stay logged in.

NumberFields.asu.edu is an alias for stat.la.asu.edu (i.e. they resolve to the exact same ip address) so other than looking inconsistent, it shouldn't cause a problem.

That's interesting. Did you keep hitting the back button until it went past the initial login screen (I had to go backwards ~20 times to see the problem)? Another symptom of the problem is if you are logged in and then open a new tab. You will have to log in again, when it should remember that you are already logged in.

I have a mirror image of the NumberFields site on my home computer that I use for testing before I make changes on the official site. The mirror site runs the exact same version of the boinc software, and does not have this problem.

Sometimes this can be a corrupted login cookie, perhaps relating to the old address. Deleting all cookies relating in any way to the project and starting from scratch can clear it.

G'Day Eric,
I don't have to hit the 'Back' button 20 times to get this issue to occur.

For others that don't understand what my problem is (well at least this problem, not all my other ones), I will go through the steps.

I open up the Projects Web page and then click on the "Account" link.
The "Log In" screen appears and I Log In.
I check things in my account and then want to go back to the Main Project Page to check out a few other things, for this I use the "Back" button on my browser.

It takes me a couple of "Back" presses to get back to the main page going back past the Log In screen in the process.

I click another link (say to Messages or Server Status) and look around the web site or read the message posts to see what is happening.

I then need to go back to my account page so I have to click on the "Account" link and it takes back to the "Log In" screen again, and I have to log back in to see my account.

If when I am viewing the messages and I want to post I am asked to Log In again as well.

To create a new thread I have to do what Erik suggested and not use the "Back" browser button but use the links at the bottom of my account page so that I stay logged into my account.

I use Firefox on Linux to do this.

I have just now tried Opera on Windows and the exact same thing happens.

HAve also tried Explorer on Windows and does the same thing as well.

The "Stay logged In" box is ticked on the log in screen but makes no difference.

So three different browsers and two different Operating Systems with the same result.

Thanks

Conan

G'Day Richard,
I clear all my data on my Windows computer each internet session. So there are no cookies to refer to. That goes for Opera. On Explorer I don't normally use this programme at all so there are no stored cookies there either.

it allways happens if i end up on http://stat.la.asu.edu/NumberFields/

for whatever reason.

the browser has a cookie for numberfields.asu.edu - so not usable on the other URL.

This is turning out to be a harder problem than I expected. But you guys have all given me some clues as to where to look. I also posted a question on the boinc projects mailing list, but haven't heard anything back yet.

I think Richard may be right, that this is a cookie related problem. Because the part of the php code where things seem to break down is in a function "get_logged_in_user" which is returning null (instead of the user name). This function happens to be doing some database authentication with a variable "_COOKIE".
