#90 Cant change admin options
When I try to change admin options I get an error. I am using version - 1.94-RC2 -
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /chat/admin.php could not be found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Everything else works fine. can register new members and all else is fine. I just cant set up the admin options.
Thank you,

Please try the site admin section/error log and are if there is a more specific explanation. It could be the sessions disabled on newer php versions, but not sure.
We need more info to hunt down this behaviour.
Can you provide a link?
Can you separately install rc4 or even upgrade your chat to latest?

I can not see any entry for an error log.
I do not know if I could manually upgrade to a newer version, I am not very good at website building, and this is my first chat ever.
Thank you very much for your time, and let me know if there is anything else I an do for you.
I should have been more clear?
I get the error when I try to change "configuration" under admin area.
I can change any value, but when I try to hit "save" I get the error that says
"

When I look in the directory, I do see the file chat/admin.php
Thank you again.
Why don't my newest answers show here?
Because you were posting as anonymous, so they were awaiting for moderation.
Is that it? No more answers or are you busy?
Please let me know.
Yes, sorry, busy like hell with a new job, moved with family to a new country, my laptop is broken, so it will take a while to get back on track.
But be sure I'll get on and let you know.
Thanks.
Wonderful Holidays meantime ;)

Same problem here even with RC3. Tried multiple machines and internet programs (IE and FF). Says admin.php can not be found however I have it in RC2 and RC3 right were it should be but no dice.
Try RC4 and see what you get.
Latest php>5.3 versions might have security mods enabled that causes that. Anyway, prior versions were not compatible with php 5.3 and above.
LE: sorry, RC3 is the latest released. I was confused! Huhh

Make sure you DON'T use single quotes in any field in the config area. That should be fixed in RC3 only.

First poster, read your chat lurking. I made some suggestions and comments.
Second poster, you can also look there and see if any applies.
That will only be visible for the next 4 days.
I don't understand why you post anonymously, how do you get notified then? I think I will restrict posting to reg users here, so I don't waste my time.
All the best!
Ciprian , Hope you and the Family have a great holiday, and thank your for your time. I'll let you know if a new version helps the problem.
Thank you! All the best to you too!
Where is a link for RC4?
Ooops, my bad. You should read RC3. See? I haven't been there for months now, and I'm old ;))

This is from the FAQ:
10Q.
I cannot make any changes in the admin panel. It says it was successfully updated, but when I check back, nothing changed.
10A.
a. A reason could be if you use the ' character in a field, without commenting it out with a backslash .
Example:
If a room name is called Men's Room, you have to comment it out with \' like this: Men\'s Room.
But I strongly recommend you avoid ussage of the ' (use ’ instead) or \ chars in your chat setting values.
b. There is something wrong in your database (c_config table) like the order of the fields or types/sizes of them.
c. You’re using a wrong config/config.lib.php file or admin/admin5.php one - if you upgraded (make sure you replaced the old one with the new released one).
First poster, please make me admin in http://worthlessopinion.com/chat/ so I can check myself. Let me know.
No single quotes anywhere. Checked all permission settings per manual install instructions. Nothing works. RC3
I'm not sure which one of you is posting. 2 anonymous with two different setups. How can I help...
Sorry to be doing this as anon.
I didn't know it mattered, but I have signed up and will use my user name from now on.
My apologies.
It's ok. Usually it doesn't matter, but in this case, you were two in the same topic ... you can imagine I wouldn't know who's posting when... ;-)
One question: during the setup, did you change the table names? they should be like c_config not config. rename them back to leading c_ prefix, except for bot ones. If you install (or reinstall) RC3, keep the default table names.
I have not changed any code anywhere. everything is as installed, and I used the auto install. I believe the problem could be because I am not running your newest version, with my php 5.4.23.
I will install your newest version and let you know what happens.
I will not be able to do it right away, so it will probably be after the holidays before I get to it.
Meanwhile, I hope you have a good Holiday, and thank you for all the help.
And, I am no longer anonymous !
Peace.
Still can't save admin settings. Tried Cpanel auto install. Tried manual install. Get same message. Tried IE and FF. No luck.
Happy New Year!
You're Worthless1? Did you install 1.93-RC3, keeping the provided/default table name format?
