ChatBot Spams (Timeout) in chat for all users
Fully customizable web chat created using AJAX.

Im using PHPBB3 and the newest version of AJAX Chat, MYSQL 5, php5 etc.
I finally got this thing sorta working and now my last troubleshooting step is this... Whenever I log in, or anyone logs in for that matter, ChatBot spams this...
For this Ex, Furinex is the user name
ChatBot: Furinex logs into chat.
Chatbot: Furinex has been logged out (Timeout).
ChatBot: Furinex logs into chat.
Chatbot: Furinex has been logged out (Timeout).

And I mean like CONSTANT repeats of this with 2 second intervals. Its ridiculous. All my configs are set to 60min for inactive log logout. How do I fix this, I am so completely lost...
One of you devs :? whatever that means, dude...you're welcome!
Try turning off the IP check in the config, although this does sound more like a cookie or session handling issue. Usually IP related timeouts happen much less frequently.
I recall this happening in an older version when we had to set the session name manually if it was done wrong, however I haven't heard of anyone having trouble with it since. Can I have a link to your chat?
Unfortunately I cannot give you a link to the chat, Im on a Naval vessil in the middle of the freakin ocean :( Anyways This chat thing is on the LAN that I set up for the ship, so I cant link it. Now, Im gonna try what ya said, But I got 1 question. How do you set the session name manually? Anyways, I'll try the IP check config setting first, and let you know how it goes.
Ok. That didn't work. Any other suggestions?
turning off ipcheck does not work...
any other suggestions?
thanks
turned off the announcing of leaving channels in config but that is just a temp fix plz help!
It works when you suppress the timeout messages? Well, that's new.
You sure your browser is handling cookies correctly? I would expect a naval vessel to have some security to deal with cookies.
im not the one on a navel base.... he is... i am having the same exact problem... last night i had to tell the host this which one of you devs told me to do:
PHP requires that you set a path where session data can be saved. If you have access
to the php.ini on this server, please check the session.save_path setting. It should be
equal to your cgi-bin/tmp directory. Otherwise, contact your webhost provider.
could this be a session save problem?
thanks
this appears to be a session save problem.. i asked my hoster to fix it and it works!
I have a phpbb3 and ajax chat installation that is doing the same exact thing. In my php.ini I see my session.save_path to be "/temp", but I don't see a "cgi-bin/tmp" directory (or entry for it in php.ini). Any help?
Thanks,
This only seems to happen when the user logs in without the "Remember Me" login option. When they do check the remember me option it seems to help.
