Hi Dudes,

i have the following problem, i am useing vBulletin 3.0.7 and shaved ape hack.
after a couple of days (approximately 14days?!) some users cannot join the board anymore? the board says the password is incorrect and they've nothing changed.

i am also useing the htaccess = user login hack from this board here...
don't know whats wrong, or what could be wrong?

board is running on rootserver on stato, so mysql failure?

pls help,

dont know what do to!

thx sc0pe


// maybe problem with md5 and salt? but why?

try to debug problem, to know if the source to your problem is db driven or code driven.

would suggest u to disable the .htaccess hack addon first & see if your users get same error when attempting to log into forum.
If problem remains, then it's indeed probably some db-driven problem, with "salt" or "password" fields under "users" table (could be u run some query accidentally to overwrite all data with some null or other string - u can verify that via borwsing data trhough phpmyadmin).

if after disabling the htaccess all works ok, then check your htaccess code & make sure that you have 2 md5 functions there (1 inside the other) & that the outer md5 function has input of the 1st md5 of the pass and the slat field.

greets.

thx for anwsering,

this is the htaccess code i use included in global.php

There is something i dont understand, there has to be an sql query that updates the salt or password in user table... but there isnt???

so why there can be such failure?

sc0pe

only thing that comes to mind with code (seems alright), but u might closed your "}" too early:

the "}" AFTER this line:
should not be there, but in the end of the code, after the 2nd if block.
as without this the 2nd part will be regardless of 1st condition.

check that - hope it will solve it for u.
if it will not, i'm afraid cannot give anymore constructive tips/help before you provide some basic debug info like:
* is it working without this code (login to forum).
* did you tried browsing your DB to make sure data is there & not messed up (repating string that could overwritten your data by executing bad query, etc.)

so?

yes, the tag is closed correctly now.
problm remains or was it solved, just curious ?

dont know it right yet, will see it in a couple of days.. will msg in here ;)

okay now, i i can specify this prob even more... this problem apears when i am deleting a crew(team) all users and after it the team. dont know why?!

Shaved? Do you?

sc0pe

i'm having hard time understanding what is it you trying to say, can u try to re-phrase that @ explain it again ?
from what i understood (which is probably not correct, but cannot understand the above sentence so can't tell...) : after you delete a team & all the users in that specific team, those users cannot connect ?! if this is what u meant (i doubt) - this seems abvious, no ? that if user is deleted he won't be able to verify his password & pass htaccess check... :ermm:

anyway repost this one with more details & i'll try to help u out.
greets. ;)

if that is what he means then
it's a weird world there
