Changes by: Anonymous user Date: Wed 06/25/03 at 05:37 ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- ...and finally after some digging into the code, I found the nature of the problem. Silly me! The trouble is caused by using 'localhost' in your group type definition! So don't do that. So nothing to do with PHP4, apache versions, distro's etc. Just a config screw-up. =================== BUG #2382: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: roncordell Project: Savannah Submitted on: Thu 01/23/03 at 08:37 Category: Site Admin Severity: 5 - Average Priority: Normal Bug Group: None Resolution: Works for me Assigned to: villate Status: Closed Effort: 0.00 Summary: Administrator Unable to Approve A Project Original Submission: With the CVS code from 1/22/2003, an administrator is unable to approve a submitted project. Steps to recreate the error are: As a user, submit a new project. As an administrator, go to the Project Approvals page. You will see there the list of projects that have been submitted for approval, where each project item is a link on which to click. Click on the project to try to start the approval process. An error is reported that you do not have permission to access the page. It appears also that the site no longer shows the administrator tasks on the left navigation pane, so it is as if the administrator is no longer logged into the session, as if the objects that indicate user status have been dropped somewhere. I'm completely new to PHP, so I haven't found the problem.

I encountered the same problem on a RedHat 9.0 machine, running apache 2.0 and PHP4, but when I installed on a Debian, running apache 1.3.27 and PHP4, the problem didn't occur. The only other difference was that the Debian machine had a DNS entry, the RedHat didn't. However, the problem is in the Location HTTP header somewhere. I'l try to figure out where exactely. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue 01/28/03 at 03:42 By: villate OK, thanks for the information. I'll take note that there is something PHP3 specific in the admin interface to try and make it compatible with PHP4 in future versions. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon 01/27/03 at 15:14 By: roncordell I think I found the problem - I can't read. The README says that Savannah has been targeted for PHP3, and *NOT* PHP4. I compiled and installed PHP3 (3.0.18) after removing PHP4 (4.0.6), and this issue has been resolved. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu 01/23/03 at 14:41 By: villate Yes, that might be the reason why the server is loosing your administrator cookie. Please tell me the URL of the page where you selected [Manage/Edit Project Registration] to see if I can track down the problem. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu 01/23/03 at 10:44 By: roncordell Further investigation looks like we are getting a new session when selecting the project to approve. I don't know why this would be happening. However, I noticed that the normal URL on the browser is http://machine.domain/savannah/admin/approve-pending.php But when I select [Manage/Edit Project Registration] the URL changes to: https://localhost/savannah/admin/groupedit.php?group=rcs The SSL access logs show the following: [23/Jan/2003:15:28:10 +0000] 127.0.0.2 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/my/ HTTP/1.1" 12960 [23/Jan/2003:10:28:10 -0500] 127.0.0.2 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/css/savannah.css HTTP/1.1" - [23/Jan/2003:10:28:10 -0500] 127.0.0.2 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /images/savannah.theme/icon.png HTTP/1.1" 312 [23/Jan/2003:10:28:10 -0500] 127.0.0.2 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/images/savannah.theme/leopard.png HTTP/1.1" 5111 [23/Jan/2003:15:28:29 +0000] 127.0.0.2 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/admin/approve-pending.php HTTP/1.1" 10028 [23/Jan/2003:10:28:29 -0500] 127.0.0.2 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /images/savannah.theme/icon.png HTTP/1.1" 312 [23/Jan/2003:15:28:36 +0000] 127.0.0.2 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=102 HTTP/1.1" 5 [23/Jan/2003:10:28:39 -0500] 127.0.0.1 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/admin/groupedit.php?group=rcs HTTP/1.1" 7347 [23/Jan/2003:10:28:39 -0500] 127.0.0.1 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/css/savannah.css HTTP/1.1" 4913 [23/Jan/2003:10:28:39 -0500] 127.0.0.1 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /images/savannah.theme/icon.png HTTP/1.1" 312 [23/Jan/2003:10:28:39 -0500] 127.0.0.1 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/images/savannah.theme/floating.png HTTP/1.1" 19773 [23/Jan/2003:10:28:39 -0500] 127.0.0.1 TLSv1 RC4-MD5 "GET /savannah/images/savannah.theme/valid-html401.png HTTP/1.1" 3607 Note how the address changes from 127.0.0.2 to 127.0.0.1.
