If you're getting the error about an invalid username, close all your browsers, open them up again, log out of the forum, then log back into the forum and attempt to log back in to siteadmin. This should clear up your problem.

What if you have done that and it doesn't clear it up?

Try opening a new window, going to the forum, logging in, and then on that same window; go to site admin.

When you put in your username, it's case-sensitive I believe, so if I put in hazokis, it won't work, but HazokiS will.

I'm having the same problem. Trying to log in to site admin nets me the following:

Notice: Undefined index: username in /home/space/siteadmin/public_html/everything.php on line 528

Notice: Undefined index: username in /home/space/siteadmin/public_html/everything.php on line 550
Username not valid!

And yes, I've checked case sensitivity.

Also attempting to log into the Web-FTP address gives me a "Login Failed" message.

methinks you have bad software. There is no way you should be seeing an error about missing username unless your browser does not support http digest authentication. In which case I humbly suggest to upgrade your web browser to something made this century.

Firefox, Opera, and even MSIE6+ do support it.

If you think you are stuck
http://siteadmin.comicgenesis.com?&logout will force a logout, remember to actually hit CANCEL, then click login or go back to plain siteadmin.comicgenesis.com

I used to get the Invalid Username response, now it's coming up saying that my software is too old, even though I'm using the latest version of Firefox. When I try to log in with IE, it doesn't work either.

I'm using IE7. I tried logging into siteadmin this morning using both IE7 and Firefox and both are now giving 'cannot connect to site' messages. The Web-FTP address is, however, working this morning. I'll try again with siteadmin this afternoon with both browsers.

screenshot please

As a reminder, please don't go "it does not work" that is completely unhelpful. Copy and paste the error message, or take a screenshot and attach it to the forum.

EmergencyExit · Post by **EmergencyExit** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 7:22 pm

I get:

"Your browser is broken, please use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera or something that supports HTTP Authentication!"

Once it gave me a bunch of code too but it's not showing up this time.

As far as I can tell all my stuff is up to date and I have nothing that should prevent it from working. I tried it in both Firefox and IE.

EmergencyExit · Post by **EmergencyExit** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 7:33 pm

Ok wait, I'm not entirely sure how but I got it to work. I just tried the process again basically and all went well. I even closed it and tried again the simple route of just clicking the link and it worked. I think doing the whole process in the same tab helped. Or something. Anyway hooray for me at least.

Post by **Kisai** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 8:37 am

yeah pretty much in the chat we determined that IE and Firefox were sending two completely different things to the server, so I had to put in a "if no username, try alt method f*ck you IE"

technically IE is doing it wrong. But I digress, originally Apache was doing the authentication, not PHP and it was handing both fine so I had assumed they were still working.

Linkara · Post by **Linkara** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 3:47 pm

Yeah, I'm using IE6 and getting the "use a browser that supports HTTP Authentication!" message.

You should all be using Firefox anyway!

Ah good. I should just blame my job whenever I feel like being a dick online.

That was sarcasm.

When I log in using v9.2 of opera I now get the message

Your browser is broken, please use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera or something that supports HTTP Authentication!

The same error occurs with the pre-tabs version of IE on this PC. Is the problem on my end? I've had various other errors this week but I cant figure this one out. All I want to do is update my newsbox and I've tried so many times ;_;

and yeah, Trades, you should try the public service, where you have to deal with professional arseclowns on a daily basis. keep your chin up!
