New User Register hangs

[wildgeeza]

Hi All,

I'm having problems with users registering on the front end, from the com_user register page.

When you click the register button, a user is created in the db, but the page seems to hang there for nearly 4 or 5mins ., waiting for a server response, before finally redirecting.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Problem Description:
User cannot self register

A bit of an update.

I've had a word with our server techies that suggest there's nothing wrong with the server calls and SQL DB connectivity. - and they suggest it must be some javascript timing out (?) Any ideas where the calls are made? Maybe a MooTools issue?

Also, I timed some of the pauses involved to see if they're always the same.. and they actually all seem to take 7.5mins before redirecting.

I tried a fresh / clean install of 1.5.10 and it does the same issue as a 1.5.14 install...

Any thoughts?

I've given up with an official solution due to project time constraints.

Those interested may like to know that this solution works ok - forcing a redirect after the user has registered. This actually works out a little bit better for me, as I can now have a bespoke "thanks for registering" page.

/plugins/redirect.php
which currently looks like (line 13):
Code:
$mainframe->redirect("index.php?option=com_contact");
