Progress Report:

Thank you to everyone that supplied information to me to help track down the problem with the galleries. It is a bit more common than first thought. I have two possible culprits that I am working on. Hopefully by end of day today or tomorrow at the latest (it depends on whether or not the paying work places demands on me) I will get them back up and running. Thanks for your patience.

Steve

I have saved (and removed) the previous messages now that I have made a major change to the photo galleries. I'd like to start fresh and see if this change has made a difference in your ability to login to the galleries. Same request applies as earlier as far as information to include in a message. If you already posted your information, just let me know and I will refer back to that data. Thanks!

Thank you Steve for getting the bugs out of the photo galleries. It's nice to be able to post pics again

*EDIT* Can I upgrade to Exployer 6 from my 5.5 now?

Which major change was that? What was the issue in the first place? How was it solved? Just curious.

Nothing you would see on the front-end...

ColdFusion (the application server I use here for development) was having issues setting the cookie when a session was initiated. Each session in ColdFusion is tracked using two pieces of information, CFID and CDTOKEN. (you can see these values appended to the url when you login to the galleries). In order to track the session (i.e. move from one page to another and remember who is logged in), ColdFusion must see these cookies from page to page.

Among other things, behind the scenes I changed from using session variables stored in server memory to client variables stored as cookies and database entries.

Any more technical questions?

So in other words, after this change if we bump up our browser security level then we'll see funny little messages asking us to post here again? (Not to mention tell the world which software we've stolen lately ) Ah crap, I've gotta go, I think the Microsoft cops just pulled into my driveway lmao.

I can log into my gallery now, finally!

I loaded about 8 pics and not all at one time. Well on the last pic, and it was just one, I got an error message

This is what it said:

A unusual error appears to have occurred. This may indicate that the database is currently unavailable or there is a temporary problem with the F150online site.

A message has been sent to the site administrators making them aware of this problem and we will take action as quickly as possible.

Please return to the previous page and try again in a few seconds or try to reload this page.

If the problem persists, you may voluntarily notify a site administrator on how the problem occurred.

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and thanks again for using F150online!



Please Help!
