SECURITY ASSIST LOGIN

Hello i am having trouble with the security assist 2 feature. I am testing this site locally on my computer using local host and phpMyadmin. For some reason when i use security assist 2 to create my registration system, i cannot login. When i test the registration page it did update the user in the database, but when i test the login page it just goes blank after i submit the user email and password. I did use the User Authenticate to redirect it but it just shows up as a blank white page, or sometimes it says it cannot display the page because of a php error. Is this because i am testing the site locally? Help would be greatly appreciated!

a blank page means that a php error is occurring but error reporting is turned off.

to turn error reporting on, add the following code at line 1:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>

once we know what the error is, we will be able to troubleshoot the cause.

i added the code to document and when i tested in browser i got this:

Deprecated: mysql_pconnect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /Users/George/Desktop/put stuff/Connections/test.php on line 11

After i clicked login i got the same blank white page with the same error on it :
Deprecated: mysql_pconnect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /Users/George/Desktop/put stuff/Connections/test.php on line 11

any ideas??

in the php.ini file for your testing server, you will need to disable the deprecated error level.

to find where the php.ini file is located, create a new file yin your site named phptest.php and add the following code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

then view that page in the browser, look for the Loaded Configuration File, this will give the path to the php.ini file, in that file, find the error_reporting setting, and set it to:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED


you will need to restart the server after making the change.

i did that and still it goes to the blank white page, not to my index.php.

although when i click login now, when i go to my database i can see a new entry from the username that just logged in with a date. so it appears to be sending it to the database i just don't know why it doesn't redirect me to my index.php like i wanted

does this mean its working? if my database has an entry with a date on ?

send a copy of your page please.

A log in page should not insert to the database.

A login page looks up the entered information to check if it is in the database or not.

When i click login with my information, i get a "page cannot be displayed" error code after the progress bar. Right now the login.php is all default settings link to my user table in my database. There are hidden fields that only appear if the person is logged in, invalid username or password and i don't even see any of those, jus a page cannot be displayed error code.

See PM

On the login page, the code for including other files is set to virtual:

for example:
<?php virtual('/Connections/test.php'); ?>

this should be require once instead:
<?php require_once('Connections/test.php'); ?>


This is caused by a setting in your site definition.

I nthe site definition, the setting for "Create Links relative to" is set to Site. this will cause DW to use the virtual function on include files. change that to Document so that DW will use the require_once function instead.

you will either need to change that setting in the site definition, then delete the security assist pages and recreate them, or go through each page and change the include file lines to use require once.

Thanks
