targeturl HELP

[micuk79]

I 've just installed mylounge redirection script . but it shows error when new users are registering subdomain. Could anybody help?

my register page:

http://www.essaycanada.com/myred/register.php

php version: 1.4

Which server software do you use
server: http://www.netfirms.com

Is php installed as cgi or as module?
I am not sure

What is the url where we can have a look at your problem?
http://www.essaycanada.com/myred/register.php

What is the exact problem?
it shows : target URL is not valid .


also I need to know how to use index.php in my root folder.

Thank you very much

I seems that netfirms doesn't allow remote connections to other sites (this part of the registering uses "fopen").

So what can I do with it ? Please help

Are you familiar with php? You could exclude the target url proof functions in register.php.

Could you please tell me how to modify it step by step .... in detail .

I am not good at PHP programming.

Thanks for your help

Those parts are in register.php and members.php and look like:

Code: Select all

$metatags = spider($targeturl);
if(!$metatags) {
   $error4 = "$text_40";
   }
$forbiddenstatus = check_forbidden($targeturl);
if($forbiddenstatus == 1) {
   $error4 = "$text_216";
   }

They are a few times in there, so you should search for the words "metatags" and "forbiddenstatus" to find them.
Just delete these lines (make a backupcopy of the files first!).

Good morning...

I successfully registered an account using the url you provided.

Bizzar.essaycanada.com

Now... Here's the problem. After successful registration, I hit the home button, and it took me back to www.essaycanada.com/index.php. This errored out. Where is your index.php page?

Looks like a settings issue. In the root of your webfolder for essaycanada.com, you should have index.php and in that index file, there is a link to the main page of your website (usually main.htm) This way, if the redirection fails, you have a page to fall back on.

I forced a www.essaycanada.com/index.htm and it sent me to www.essaycanada.com/phpbb2/index2.php.

What you want to do, is rename index.htm to main.htm, use index.php instead, and change your settings slightly. If you want, you can even tell index.php to forward people to that phpbb site if the redirection fails. I'll track down the line of code here in a minute.

hope this helps a little

After re-reading what I said, I think andel did something different with his script. You need to go to your admin page, leave the domain the way it is, and change your starting page to = /phpbb2/index2.php

That should forward you to the correct page.

Hope this helps!

It seems it is the wildcard problem. Netfirms.com doesn't allow me to redirect subdomain to anywhere else. BUT..

is there anything i can do to enable it ?

Thanks
