I'm having constant problems at the moment trying to configure siggen, it seems that every time I try and submit the form it's setting of mod_security which my host set up, this was happening witht he last version, but my host tweaked the rules a little to relax things, but the new version today has just gone completely off the deep end and I don't know why.

My host nicely gave me the mod_security logs for the previous siggen version problem:

===============================================
[Sat Mar 3 14:24:59 2007] [error] [client x.x.x.x] mod_security: Access
denied with code 406. Error processing request body: Multipart: final boundary
missing [hostname "the-banished.co.uk"] [uri

===============================================

(I took out my IP)

I don't know if the post needs looking at or something. But it's gotten considerably worse this version, I may end up having to go backwards because like now, it's near impossible to call up the siggen page.

Seems like I solved this by commenting out the version check code. (Kind of didn't realise till it was too late it was encased in an IF from a var in conf.php, oh well, it can stay commented out XD)

What part of the code exactly?

/roster/addons/siggen/index.php

Code: Select all

if( $siggen_update )
{
    $sc_file_ver_latest = '';

    // Check xent.homeip.net for versioning
    $sh = @fsockopen('xent.homeip.net', 80, $errno, $error, 5);
    if ( $sh )
    {
        @fputs($sh, "GET /files/siggen/version.txt HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: xent.homeip.net\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n");
        while ( !@feof($sh) )
        {
            $content = @fgets($sh, 512);
            if ( preg_match('#<version>(.+)</version>#i',$content,$version) )
            {
                $sc_file_ver_latest = $version[1];
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    @fclose($sh);

    if( $sc_file_ver_latest == '' )
    {
        $functions->setMessage($siggen_locale[$roster_conf['roster_lang']]['cannot_check_version']);
    }
    elseif( $sc_file_ver_latest > $sc_file_ver )
    {
        $functions->setMessage(sprintf($siggen_locale[$roster_conf['roster_lang']]['new_siggen_available'],$sc_file_ver_latest));
    }
}
 

Could be that it's possibly getting an strange result from the server. I dunno, I usually use just fopen or file to get a complete result to array/string. I guess the fsock idea is a way around fopen restrictions though.

I dunno...

Ahh, thanks
