    Brad Farris - 2003-10-24

    I installed flatPHPbook at www.farrisfoto.com/guestbook/guestbook.php.

    I am having trouble with the admin login.  When I login and try to delete a post it takes me back to the main page and doesn't delete the post.

    If I push the config button it also returns to the main page.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Brad

      Hm, sorry to hear about this.

      You could check what version you use. Admin mode was kinda broken in 0.9.6, so maybe that is the solution already.
      Another thing is that some webhosters use load balancing, where requests from browsers are send to different webservers without you noticing. This unfortunately means that the second web server does not know you logged in as admin on the first.

      This e.g. prevents me from deleting posts from my own guestbook here on SourceForge (I can always download and delete the unwanted lines manually).

      To circumvent this problem, I am working on using cookies in the next version, which stores everything connected to logging in in the browser and the server only checks if it is there.

      Hope this helped!

      I have the same problem yet it only goes back to the main page of the guest book when I click on delete post. I am not using 9.6 either. I am using 9.7
