1.5.6 -> 1.5.7 Can't Login Front End

Post by auciker » Wed Sep 10, 2008 10:29 pm

Can't login into the front end of a site I upgraded. Here's the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /var/www/vhosts/racetime.com/httpdocs/libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php on line 675

Didn't work, and I'm almost positive that our servers are running php5. :(

Edit: nevermind, I just realized that I am in fact running php 4.x. This is my problem now I guess. Thanks for the hit-back. :)

Does the patch say that you need to be running php5 in order to use it? I don't remember seeing that.

Hi all,
I'm having the same problem whereby i cant login after upgrading to 1.5.7.
But i had a good look on the link above by brad and i cant seem to figure out what i need to do to fix the prob.

Upgraded from 1.5.6 to 1.5.7 last night now you can see the front page no probs and you can login to cpanel but you cant login to the front end as a user ....

There is nothing special about my site the only thing is the host is running PHP4.
And suggestions would be great, thanks

You need to go in to your control panel at your web hotel.
Open the file /libraries/joomla/utilities/compat/php50x.php for editing

Add the following code to the end of that file

Code: Select all

if(!function_exists('stripos')) {
 function stripos($haystack, $needle, $offset = 0) {
  return strpos(strtolower($haystack), strtolower($needle), $offset);
 }
}
Save the file

Done

After I used the code and fixed front-end log in problem, I got to even bigger problem: This seems to be a back-end login loop problem. I had to reinstall joomla and now back-end login works fine, but front-end login still down. My servers PHP is version 4 and some.


Any idea how to fix one and not to spoil other?

I'm running PHP 4.4.8

I was getting the blank screen after front end login.

I did the fix to the file as recommended in this thread. No issues and it was fixed. Thanks! They should implement a check for PHP 4 in future versions to make it compatible so we don't have to push this manual fix every time they do an update going forwrad.

I just want to chime in and say also that as a new Joomla user, nowhere did I see anything suggesting PHP5 or else I would have addressed that prior to installing. Please consider adding a check to see what ver. of PHP is running on the host and advise prior to completing the install if such problems like this are going to go to production.

Thanks!

In line 3, should that for sure be "strpos"? Or should it be "stripos"?? Typo? No? ???

I just had a brief recurrence of the front end login problem which I had sorted by enabling php 5 shortly after upgrading from 1.5.6 to 1.5.7 some weeks ago. I don't normally use the front end login and only found out about this recurrence by chance. I sorted it again by disabling php5 and then immediately re-enabling it in the host Cpanel. Our host offers php4 or php5 as an option.

This worked once before so I thought I would try it again and bingo. Don't ask me why it works. :)

Thought I would share this with people in case they experience the same problem. Give it a try.

I upgraded from 1.5.2 to 1.5.7 and had the same login problem
("Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /xxxx/libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php on line 675").
The solution to add to the end of file /xxxx/libraries/joomla/utilities/compat/php50x.php the code
if(!function_exists('stripos')) {
function stripos($haystack, $needle, $offset = 0) {
return strpos(strtolower($haystack), strtolower($needle), $offset);
}
}
worked perfectly. Thank you!

Are you using php5? If not, then add the below to your .htaccess file.

Code: Select all

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

libraries is located in "your joomla root folder"

"your joomla root folder"/libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php

If you did not rename the folder when unpacking joomla "your root folder" would be "joomla_1.7.5" or something similar.

I'm so happy with your solution; this is realy great.

I had not only the problem of not being able to login in the frontend in one site.

In another site, I wasn't able to edit via the frontend. Saving an edited page returned a blank page. This problem is also solved by your solution.

Thanks a lot!!! You did excellent work :) ;) :)
