Enabling Sending Referrers.

Does NuclearMoose even read the threads he’s posting that damn link in? If I see that link again I’m going to gouge my eyes out of my head.

NuclearMoose: I think we’ve determined at this point that it is not a firewall problem, but thanks for saying it over and over again.

(Do I sense some denial here? “Maybe if we just ignore it, it will go away.”) I will guarantee the devs that if they release 1.5 and this problem isn’t given more thought then “obviously an end user problem”, this is probably going to be a lot more wide spread and you guys are going to have a big headache on your hands when the masses get their hands on 1.5 and half of them come flooding into these forums telling you that, yes, they’ve checked their firewalls eight thousand times and they’re pretty sure it’s not that.

Because 99 times out of 100, that’s what it is – a firewall issue.

The suggestion, of course, is that because the demo site you tried works and yours doesn’t (now), it’s something specific to your machine. On the other hand, you’ve had others login to the system who get the same error, which suggests a server-side issue (or a bug).

This started just few days ago for you? A week ago? Two?

A few days ago, the eighth, I believe. Like I said before, it was working, then it suddenly wasn’t. As far as I am aware of, no changes were made to the configuration of the server and no changes were made by me to the WP install between the instances of WP working properly and WP not working properly. I can always email my host and ask them if there were any changes made to my machine between the seventh and the eighth, just to check.

(I’m hosted by 1&1 and use their Premier Professional package, so the likelyhood that it is some strange glitch in their systems seems very unlikely to me, but who knows.)

Mysql 3.23.54
WP 1.2.2
I have installed WordPress aprox. five days ago. For me all this time is impossible to delete a link, or message, or activate a plugin, etc. in my installation.

Oh, that’s weird, I figured this problem was 1.5 specific.

What company are you hosted by jose?

Can you do me another favor jose, and list what plugins you have Activated in your plugin list?

(Mine: Adhesive, dtw_get_links_list, Get Custom Field Values, Spam Karma, StatTraq, Textile 1, Witty Text, WP Gallery, WP Plugin Manager)

Hokay you two, head to https://test.innereyes.com and try and duplicate the problem. Login is “admin”, password is “wptest”. Let me know how it goes ??

Amiantos, if you can, disable all your plugins temporarily and see if the problem still occurs (i assume you’ve probably done this already, but best to be certain).

Jose and Amiantos, you can both temporarily disable your plugins by renaming the plugin files via FTP. Give that a shot.

Jose hasn’t been able to activate any plugins at all, so none are running on his installation. Last time I checked, though, StatTraq didn’t get along with WP1.5, which is why I suggested Amiantos disable all his – just in case ??

for RustIndy:
It works in your site-test ! I have deleted links and activate plugins without problem.

for Amiantos and macmanx:
my ISP is Arsys https://www.arsys.es
and i have the original installation, i’m unable to activate any plugin.

the wptest works for me.

Removed all of my plugins from my WP install, still doesn’t work. ;( I was hoping stupidity on my part would be the problem, but no dice. Great way to clean up your plugin dir, I can just put back what I need… course now my site will be broken due to inactivated plugins not being able to be activated again.

Crap, that was a bad idea. ;(

Oh, phew, they were automatically reactivated, nice. Yay!

(And I left StatTraq removed, but FYI, I never had any problems with it really aside from a blank referral showing up in the logs a lot for some reason.)

Jose, do you have any way of reaching another computer or someone else’s? It would be best if this was a different operating system from what you’re using (Windows vs. Mac OS X), this will mostly distinguish whether or not the problem is server-based. If you can’t get to a different computer with a different OS, then try a different browser (IE vs Firefox). Once you get your hands on one of the above, try to login on that computer and/or browser and attempt to activate plugins.

Amiantos, the plugins should not reactivate, that’s probably part of the problem. If you really want to test without plugins, you’ll have to rename them via FTP. Of course, if that doesn’t work, you won’t be able to activate your plugins. Were you able to recreate the problem on RustIndy’s test site yet? He has a valid point that StatTraq may be interfering. There are a few threads that discuss changes that need to be made to StatTraq in order for it to run properly under WP v1.5. So, it’s logical to assume that it doesn’t run properly under v1.5 and may be causing your problems.

Well, like I said, I removed StatTraq, so it’s gone now.

And no, I can’t recreate the problem on RustyIndy’s test site, it works just fine for me. I can play around with it some more.

I deleted all the plugins from the directory, is renaming them some how different? When I re-uploaded them, they were all set as activated in the configuration, which I assumed is how it should work.

Also: I just upgraded from 2005-01-06 nightly to the 2005-01-10 nightly and the problem persists. Was hoping that would fix it some how.

Is there a safe and fool-proof way to wipe out your WP install (files and MySQL and all) and retain all the posts? At this point I’m desperate to see if I can get it working again… I suppose I could back up the relevant tables using PHPMyAdmin… God, that would be a pain though.
