kicked out admin panel constantly

[Jduranti]

Hey guys

I’m trying to set up my forum that I just installed yesterday, I’m running xenforo v2.2.15 on my site gummyshoe.net and every time I do something in the admin panel I get kicked out and it brings me back to the xenforo login page. Sometimes it works if I just reload the page a couple times, other times it requires me to actually enter the login again.



Also while hitting ‘save’ or ‘add’ or whatever I’m working on in the panel, I get errors like “this action could not be completed because you are no longer logged in. Please reload the page.” It’s weird because it will work if I press the save button a couple more times and just ignoring the error.

Resolved! Another issue I’m having is the landing page. When I go to the default url “gummyshoe.net” or whatever, it brings me to the index of files, where I have to click the folder in order to be brought to the real home page, which is found at “gummyshoe.net/forum”




I’m new to websites and would love some assistance fixing this.

Can u try it with different browser?

I have tried it with both chrome and safari on mobile, and I’ve tried it with chrome on web (laptop).

Can u try to change "Home page URL" option from "/admin.php?options/groups/basicBoard/" page? also change "Board URL" option too.

That makes it so that when I click ‘Home’ it leads to the correct page (/forum instead of just gummyshoe.net). I’m assuming I would need to set up a redirect in cPanel to have gummyshoe.net redirect to gummyshoe.net/forum automatically. I’ll keep you updated if that fixes it.

Edit: just adding a redirect from my host fixed that issue.

I’m going to contact my host, maybe that is the issue

If you are being constantly logged out, then yes it's a server configuration issue.

A typical cause is reverse proxy and/or server caching.

By default, your session is tied to your IP address. If your IP address is changing (like you are on a cell network or flipping back and forth between cell/wifi), you will get logged out whenever your IP changes. You can alter that behavior with a config.php edit. See:

If you start the user registration process on one IP, then finish it on another (like if you go on/off wifi), the registration fails and redirects you to an empty registration page (not only does it fail, you lose everything you entered).

Does it require custom code to make it work with reverse proxy? Normal user login and registration work fine, but admin.php login does not.
