Registration Help

[TimJK]

Hi all, my forum is www.eacruise.co.uk and the problem i have is that when a new member wants to register they accept the rules and then click on "register" and it then brings up and error 403 "Forbidden". I have chmodded to all possible values and still not working.

any ideas?

Check if you have mod_security or Suhosin installed, if you do, your rules may be overly strict or misconfigured, which can cause this.

I have found that by taking away the "?do=register" from the Address bar after clicking on register and accepting rules it then does work, but what will have caused this?

Did you read my post?

Suhosin
Module Loaded Yes

Suhosin can limit the amount of data submitted and encrypt cookies causing problems with several aspects of vBulletin.

mod_security
AJAX Unicode Issue No
Results
The above setting will indicate if mod_security is preventing some AJAX requests from being submitted to vBulletin. If this shows Yes then you either need to disable mod_security or change the AJAX settings with the vBulletin Options and disable Problematic features.

Edit your .htaccess file and add the following code:
php_flag suhosin.cookie.encrypt Off
php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 2048
Note, place this file in your forum root directory.

Done that and this has made no difference at all.

Do you have a link to your PHP Info?

Try setting the following Suhosin variables in your php.ini:


php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 2048
You might need to ask your host to assist you with this.
