Logout Bug

Hello, the problem is the plugin can’t interact with phpBB admin login:
when you say you login wp side or phpBB side not admin all work ok, then clicking on ACP login you get logout, is a scenario where can’t understand how the problem can come out I’ve try to imagine, based on your report, i’ve try to reproduce, but unfortunately nothing.

More in deep, if phpBB recognize correctly cookies on frontend, when they have been set by a login in WP side, cookies are recognized ok also on ACP. There is no reason why should not.

You say on other post, if i’m not wrong, you are not iframe mode, and also if you login ACP directly, you’re logged out if wp_w3all is installed. But this can’t be. Due to the fact in this case, WP_w3all and WP are completely excluded and separated from phpBB, there is no code about WP or wp_w3all that can interact with if not in iframe mode, when you are on phpBB. wp_w3all just work in WordPress side.

p.s how you have set phpBB -> domain cookie setting?

phpbb works this way by default if you click on <Administration Control Panel> or <ACP> it will ask you to reenter your login info for security reasons before letting you in the admin panel.

as for the blank page i think you must have a bad settings in phpbb or in the
wp_w3all settings. i can only talk for me but mine is working fine.

Correct, I’m “generally” familiar with phpBB, but still not sure why its killing my cookie.

The path, domain and name all seem valid.

Seeing as nothing in the plugin requires knowing the cookie name, I assume you are getting this information from somewhere? I see a few different named cookies for my domain.

I’m grabbing a fresh (new) browser to test cookie creation and naming.

if i may ask what browser are you using ? so i can test it with the same browser as you.

I’m a chrome user 99.9% of the time.

I loaded firefox, fresh, and logged into WP, saw the cookies get created. I was able to match a cookie to the “cookie name” in phpBB.

I then deleted them and did it from the phpBB side. Over the course of say 10-15 times I was able to see this…

100% of the time, if I logged into phpBB first, it created the cookies for phpBB “phpbb3_pnls7”. Sometimes, however, when logging into WP first, it created a cookie for phpBB with a different name, such as: “phpbb3_1bm21”

When this happens, I then have multiple phpbb cookies active in my cookie folder, all set for a year+ expiration. Also, when this cookie (or any cookie without the proper “name”) is created, the whole thing goes tits up when trying to log into the ACP.

I can only guess, and I am only guessing, that something is blocking|stopping|preventing WP and the plugin from creating a properly named cookie.

I did not see it, but is there anywhere I can hard code the “cookie” name that WP_w3all is trying to use to match what phpBB is expecting, and test again?

this should happen, if you have different phpBB installed on same domain: any phpBB install, go to create his proper cookie prefix: each belong to a different phpBB installation.
So the other you see on your browser, should be maybe about some other phpBB, installed on the same domain.

That makes it more odd, the domain is mine, the server space as well, its the only install of phpBB.

Now it IS a shared server, as in hundreds of other customers on the server (different domains and folders) sharing the same IP.

No, this can’t cause the behavior about login fail on ACP.
Nor the cookie issue … or it should be a crazy thing about apache, that i can’t think be possible.
