Thread: edit_profile randomly works/doesn't work

Hey all.. started working with Dolphin in early march, started with 5.6 but had nothing but problems so i worked abckwards untill i got to 5.4.1 which was the most stable (or the one that had the least amount of work for me to get working).

I have run into an issue with the profile edit page..

SOMETIMES it works fine.
Other times, it gives me an "Access Denied" error on line 206.

Line 206 is a blank line
the line after 206 simply says "default;"

Now it would be a lot easier for me if this page simply did not work... but it DOES work.. sometimes.. it is random.. but consistant.

it either works ALL the time for ALL the users or it doesn't work at all for anyone.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

What file are you talking about. I am running 5.4 as well because i think it is the most stable as well. There are a couple of bugs that i am working on fixing. My site has been up for three months and I haven't experienced any issues

This is the profile_edit.php file, it opens i make the changes and then when i hit sae .. it gives me a "chane has been completed" and the actually shows the information in the fields.

but if i leave the page and go anywhere else.... it resets to the original information.

I suspect it isn't the profile_edit.php file itself.. but one of the includes..

Well I imagine since the profile_edit page is basically a form allowing you to input and update information in the database, it somehow is not either reading from the database correctly or it doesn't insert the row into the table properly.

Did you look at your database profiles table to see if the information you put in there actually exist?

Did you try and delete all of the profiles out of the cache directory on your server?

I checked the db and YES the info WAS listed correctly in it so i checked the cache and voila that was the culprit.

Clearing the cache folder fixed the problem!

Thanks!

I will have to create a cron to clear that out i suppose.

Thanks for your assistance!

I thought that the cron jobs that were supposed to be setup after the dolphin install was supposed to take care of that. I guess not. I'll double check to see. Anyway once again, I;m glad I could be of assistance.

hmm, there are NO cron jobs executing for the site apparently.. not good i think..

FYI, the problem is caused by the cache files being written by the apache user instead of the admin## user and are write protected (chmod 444).
This prevents the app from overwriting the file. i have setup a cron to clean it out, but i have to figure out why it's being written by the wrong user and chmod 444 in the first place.

I acutally disabled the cache. I am not using it at this time. I change my site up to look like myspace so I allow css, div, etc. It works very well
