Excellent, has fixed the problem and also a couple of other niggly issues I had with editing products (adding text and pictures) which worked inasmuch as the upload succeded but it took a bit of fiddling for the site to display the changes. But I'm again. Thanks

Re: [CONFIRMED+FIX] Joomla! 1.0.13 Admin session dies for certain $task values
Using 1.0.13
My host (PAIR) just recently upgraded PHP to
FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE to FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p1.
Apache is upgraded to version 2.2.4,
mod_php to version 5.2.4 (PHP 4.4.7 is also available as CGI).
I am getting "Allowed Memory SIze Exhausted" errors when trying to go into the Admin/Components Install area
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /usr/www/users/myaccount/includes/domit/xml_domit_lite_parser.php on line 194

VirtueMart is also affected by this bug.
The problem is indeed a wrong order of the calls to initSessionAdmin and doGzip at the end of the file /administrator/index2.php.
If we change
BEFOREtoCode: Select all
103 doGzip(); 104 105 // if task action is 'save' or 'apply' redo session check 106 if ( $task == 'save' || $task == 'apply' ) { 107 $mainframe->initSessionAdmin( $option, '' ); 108 }
the problem is gone.Code: Select all
102 // if task action is 'save' or 'apply' redo session check 103 if ( $task == 'save' || $task == 'apply' ) { 104 $mainframe->initSessionAdmin( $option, '' ); 105 } 106 doGzip();
I have posted a Hotfix for Joomla! 1.0.13 on the VirtueMart Homepage.
Feel free to try it. It just contains the updated index2.php file.

It`s working, but....
When i login to admin site there is :
_ADM_WELCOME_TO_JOOMLA
_ADM_USE_A_VALID_USERNAME
next to login and pass fields, also I have a different problem.
When i trying to change content which is include a images, the URL`s are diffrent and images doesn't show.
URL looks like: http://null/ and then is the correct path.
Anyone knows how to solve it?

Re: [CONFIRMED+FIX] Joomla! 1.0.13 Admin session dies for certain $task values
OK --- I have been just getting used to the idea that I had to log back in E V E R Y time I made any change in the back end of Virtuemart! Finally I got Peeeeeeed off with this!!!!
So, I started hunting across the net for solutions. I arrive at these fantastic posts and it seems just Great! Everyone is happy! Nobody has to put up with this loging out of the back end any more! Good!
Except: NEITHER I NOR IT APPEARS QUITE ALOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM HAVE THE FAINTEST IDEA WHERE THESE ILLUSIVE HOT FIX CAN BE FOUND, WHAT IT IS, OR HOW DO YOU EVEN SNEAK UP ON IT?
This is serious--- I humbly implore anone who actually knows of the whereabouts of the zip file or any other FIX for this problem to come out from your hiding places and tell us, spread the word, Many prophets started out with simpler offerings! The world needs you!
Please tell us where the golden fix actually is or if it involved some esoteric dark art/ science/ wizardry then spill the beans please! I beseech thee

Cool! OK I just realized thee actual solution is a hot fix which was posted NOT on this forum but on the actual Virtuemart page. Because it appears that there are many like I, who are really to thick (dumb in Am-English) to get the hang of this fact or are too impatient to look carefully B4 posting stuff up here I have included a link to the hot fix.

Thanks for the fix. For what it's worth, it didn't work for me at first and I was unable to save or apply changes to stories until I turned off tinyMCE.
It now works fine.
Config:
Joomla! 1.0.13 with fix
Joomfish 1.8.1

Re: [CONFIRMED+FIX] Joomla! 1.0.13 Admin session dies for certain $task values
Hello
I have installed J 1.0.13 and virtuemart 1.0.13a then as soon as i login to the administrator and try to add a product i get loggged out automatically so what i did (replaced the index.php and index2.php and joomla.php from the joomla part) and replaced from virtumart some other files (ps_session.php ps_shopper.php, vituemart_parser.php) :
here is the fixed in detail:
http://virtuemart.net/index.php?option= ... ad&gid=371
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg943504
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... msg1074656
before replacing all of these fixes as soon as i was adding products after saving them i got logged out automatically but it was saving the product in the website
Currently what is happening I am not being logged out after adding new products but all appears to be fine in the administrator where i see the product being saved but as soon as i go to the website i don;t see these new products (i see only the old ones, i go back to the administrator and i still see the product i have added but they do not appear in the website)
it does not seem to be happening to the product only but it is also happening if i change anything in the configuration it will not take into affect.
I thought i have fixed the issue yesterday by re-downloading all virtuemart patch kit for 1.0.13a it did update my previous changes and change in my configuration but when i try to add new product and/or change in the configuration it is not being updated in the website.
It is important to note when i have replaced all of the php file it did fix the issue of my user not being loged out automatically after each action after saving in the adoministration of virtuemart a new change but it does not update these changes in the website and also the first time i log in to the website and go to virtuemart i got logged out (like if there is no session) then go back to virtuemart and never get logged out but all my changes are only being saved in the backend not in the website
i even tried creating a new user account gave it super administration rights and still same issue
pls help i have been struggling for a week
thanks

Re: [CONFIRMED+FIX] Joomla! 1.0.13 Admin session dies for certain $task values
I'm wondering if this isn't related to an issue I'm having. Not every time, but a LOT of times, users are unable to login to the site. After clicking login, sometimes they see
http://stonegatehoa.com/http://www.ston ... /index.php
other times they see
http://www.stonegatehoa.com/index.php?o ... task=login
If I remove the task=login part, it will come up w/ the user logged in.
I'm using:
Joomla 1.0.13
CB 1.1
SMF 1.1.4

Re: [CONFIRMED+FIX] Joomla! 1.0.13 Admin session dies for certain $task values
Well, I'm another one...
I installed Virtuemart 1.0.13a on Joomla 1.0.13 and got the infuriating admin logout, so I installed the patch on the Virtuemart site.
Worked perfectly for a few days and I had created a series of products and test orders without problem up to last night.
Woke up this morning and logged in, tried to save a change in VM and got booted out of admin. Log back in and touch any link in the admin site and I get booted out again. I can only get as far as the initial admin index page. The same in any browser.
The only thing I know happened in the night is that I had some emails created by VM about the Paypal IPN transactions (and the order status)...these transactions were only a few days old but they all came at 1:30am this morning...I have no idea if this has triggered a change or is a cause/symptom of the same issue.
I have tried every fix I can find posted on here, inlcuding the patches and file hacks. Most of them stop me being able to log in at all, so i've gone back.
I've asked my hosting provider if there have been any changes made during the night that might have caused a problem...haven't heard back yet. I can still log into the front-end OK.
Any suggestions welcome as at the moment I can't do a thing.
Joomla heroes where are you please

Re: Joomla! 1.0.13: Admin session dies for certain $task values on IIS
Thanks Geraint,Geraint wrote: Some insights (and a fix?)
The problem arises if you have a component that doesn't use a mosRedirect at the end of processing a 'save' or 'apply' task. You can simulate the problem by commenting out the mosRedirct at line 789 in admin.content.php and then saving some content.
This is the warning you get:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Documents and Settings\Geraint\Documents\joomlacode\Joomla1.0.x\includes\joomla.php:4145) in C:\Documents and Settings\Geraint\Documents\joomlacode\Joomla1.0.x\includes\joomla.php on line 800
This is caused by an attempt to set the session cookie (in initSessionAdmin) after the headers have already been sent via the doGzip() at the end of index2.php. If you put the doGzip right at the end of the file (AFTER the call to $mainframe->initSessionAdmin( $option, '' );) then everything works.
Geraint
It seems to work so far.
I got the same issue with Joomfish component.

Do I just install the two files that come with this patch into the joomla directory, although I have to put them into the Virtuemart section?

I had the same problem like you since I used the new cPanel easy apache builder script to upgrade my apache. I could fix the same problem what you have now with increasing the memory_limit to more than 8MB. However I also have since my apache upgrade this login problem with all my Joomla sites on my server. I can't login in the backend. I always receive this login again message like after an time out. Because I never had any problems with running Joomla on my server before (whatever version I installed), I strongly believe it has something to do with the apache build or php configuration. I'm still trying out to figure out what it caused. My 1st guess is that the joomla code for the admin area is still not fully compatible with the latest version of PHP cause my apache uses now only the latest PHP version and no more PHP4 (before I used both on my server).

Re: [CONFIRMED+FIX] Joomla! 1.0.13 Admin session dies for certain $task values
Thanks mikaelfs for your help! However my sites still don't work. I get the same error like with the standard patch "invalid session" . I have the same problem with older Joomlas than 1.0.13 and also with a 1.5rc Joomla site.mikaelfs wrote: Guys,
I posted summary of this problem, along with my investigation and alternative patch at http://tech.amikelive.com/node-41/compr ... omla-1013/
My configuration is:
Fedora Linux with Apache 2.2 and PHP5.2.5
PHP Session settings:
Directive Local Value Master Value
session.auto_start Off Off
session.bug_compat_42 On On
session.bug_compat_warn On On
session.cache_expire 180 180
session.cache_limiter nocache nocache

session.entropy_file no value no value
session.entropy_length 0 0
session.gc_divisor 100 100
session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 1440
session.gc_probability 1 1
session.hash_bits_per_character 4 4
session.hash_function 0 0
session.name PHPSESSID PHPSESSID
session.referer_check no value no value
session.save_handler user user
session.save_path /tmp /tmp
session.serialize_handler php php
session.use_cookies On On
session.use_only_cookies Off Off
session.use_trans_sid 1 1
I tried to change many different PHP settings but with no success.
It is understandable that the development team tries to make Joomla as secure as possible but what sense does it make when even the Admin can't log in? It would be nice to have the option to change to a more compatible session method in case of server upgrades or changes.
I will try today to rebuild apache with the older versions of apache and php. I hope that it will work again like before.
