Link messed up

Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2005 7:26 pm

When someone replies to a post the link that is being sent is wrong.

For example:

http://http//www.mysite.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=22#22

For my site this should be:

http://www.mysite.com/html/modules.php?......

does anyone know where this information is set and how I can change it so the correct link is sent?

using php-nuke 7.6 patched 3.1

Well in your configuration (preferences) you have to set your site url.
So it will be:http://www.mysite.com/html

If its the Forums, check the settings in the Forums Configuration

OK, got it.

In the forum configuration I changed the 'Domain name' to "www.mysite.com/html" instead of "http://www.mysite.com/"

Thanks guys, you're the best.

I go to the admin page and click on the Forums icon which takes me to the forums/phpbb admin page. Then, in the modules administration I click on forums then under "General Admin" i click on "Configuration" this brings up a 'General Configuration' page, on which is the setting for Domain name. I had this set to h t t p : / / w w w .mysite.com. This was sending a link similar to this: h t t p : // h t t p ://w w w.mysite.com/modules........

When I changed the Domain name to: ww w.mysite.com/html a link was sent similar to this: h t t p : // ww w.mysite.com/html/modules.......

(without the extra spaces, of course)

This is the correct link for to the post on mysite. I realize you know all of this, just explaining what I did.

Thanks for all your help.

Here is another link problem. For some reason no one can get the results of a poll. When I click on the "Results" button ( I am using Firefox) I get this message

Quote:

Alert!!

Redirection limit for the URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.

the link is:

http://www.clanfga.com/modules.php?name=Surveys&op=results&pollID=1&mode=&order=0&thold=0

Cookies, popups, java, javascript all enabled.

I have another webpage with a poll on it, the link to this poll is:

http://doulos-usa.com/html/modules.php?name=Surveys&op=results&pollID=2&mode=&order=0&thold=0

I am able to get the results of this poll. But not the other one.
Any ideas?

I'm having this problem as well...Firefox reports:

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The URL is:

well nice link but its restricted...
the error has a million reasons and the internet is full with it..

some say this ...as sample :

Quote:

In file1.php, I have a header("Location: file2.php"). File2.php has some fuzzy logic that tells it to call header("Location: file1.php");
That's where the limit is reached because of the loop!

another one says this ..:

For me it was also a redirect problem. I think if you trie to redirect more then 2 times server-side Firefox throw's you the error.
In the case of google-adsense, maybe the .js file tries to redirect a couple of times so that's why your getting the error.

So this is just 0,1% of all "so called" fixes...

I'll open up the surveys to non-members...that's probably why it's restricted for you...of course, you could always register! Smile

Ok, I don't think it's an actual re-direct, but more of a header setting:

Snippet from survey's index.php

require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);

...

if(!isset($pollID)) {
include ('header.php');
pollList();
include ('footer.php');
} elseif ($pollID <= 0) {
Header("Location: modules.php?name=$module_name");
die();
} elseif($op == "results" && $pollID > 0) {
if (isset($tid)) {
Header("Location: modules.php?name=$module_name"); // SecurityReason Fix 2005 - sp3x -> Now should be OK.
}
include ("header.php");

PollID is definitely set here as I test the URL with a PollID of '0' and it goes to the main listing of polls. I set it back and it's the error page.

but as it shows...Header("Location:
in the fixes its mentioned also...

I'm trying to see why we are re-directing in the fix.

If the PollID is set and > 0 and $tid is set, then why not just continue with the survey result instead of re-directing?

It's the re-directing that's causing my survery results to die.

When I try a localhost survey, the code works...online (live) it does not.
