Hi All,

I have changed a few defaults on my forum, but they are not saving (via admin_config_system.asp). I press save and all looks good. But I then go back in and the vales (Require Registration: for example), is back to its old value before I saved it ?

I have cleared cookies and re-tried, but no luck ?

Any thought people please ?

Thanks

Must be something wrong with "config.asp".

Two questions:

Are the changes being saved to the FORUM_CONFIG_NEW table?

Have you changed anything in the code or with the server between when it was last working and now?

If they are not, and you're using Access, your hosting provider may have made a change that removed the proper write privileges to the database... though usually you would also see problems with people not being able to log in or post as well.

If they are, then we would need to start looking into why the session variables aren't properly saving.

Thanks both for your reply's.

The changes are being saved in the FORUM_CONFIG_NEW table, just checked.
The database is MS-SQL and we host it ourselves.

I just brought up a VM system thats a few months old, and tried saving the settings on that, and it worked.

Doing a diff on the two config files, I found the following:

***** config.asp (the live one with the issue)
strUniqueID = "Snitz00"
if Application(strCookieURL & "STRVERSION")= "" Or IsNull(Application(strCookieURL & "STRVERSION")) Or blnSetup="Y" Then

***** CONFIG-VM.TXT (VM backup with no issue)
strUniqueID = "Snitz00"
If Application(strCookieURL & "ConfigLoaded")= "" Or IsNull(Application(strCookieURL & "ConfigLoaded")) Or blnSetup="Y" Then

*****

Tempted to copy over the working config.asp over from the VM system to if that works. All the database settings/passwords are the same so might be worth a go do you think ?

The change was made because of this:

Which I asked in the topic below:

Can you post a link to a txt version of your config.asp fileso we can see what you did?
Make sure to remove any database username/pass etc. from the file first.
