I can see your blog..? Fixed?

Anyway, it looks like you set $author somewhere to "Sérgio Lima" (in a stub file or the like) which then gets used as the user ID(s) to restrict posts to.

Could that be?

btw: very nice bug/problem report! :)

My blog yet is with problem

I received this message

Bad Request!

The parameters of your request are invalid.

If you have obtained this error by clicking on a link INSIDE of this site, please report the bad link to the administrator.

Go back to home page
Additional information about this error:
Illegal value received for parameter «author»!

What's the link that causes this error message?

And on which URL does the first (similar) error appear?

Hi,

Thanks for your atention :-)

The error is dead :-) but in epyphany (only in this) I received this nessage in any url:

Bad Request!

In IE, fiefox e galeon itś all ok

Very strange!

PS: Excuse my poor english, I Brazilian :-)

It appears than that Epyphany sends either an "author" cookie or something else, that gets recognized by b2evo.

I could not reproduce it here, but it may depend on which domain b2evo is running and what cookies you have set there.

Can you put the following script in your blogs folder, where also admin.php is and execute it through Epyphany? (save the code below as foobar.php for example)

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Search for "author" therein. Can you find something?

If it's possible, I'd like to have an URL to that file to take a look at it, too.

Hi

I put the file in my blog...the url is:
http://www.sergioflima.pro.br/blog/blogs/conf/foobar.php

And I found this:

xmlrpc
core library version xmlrpc-epi v. 0.51
php extension version 0.51
author Dan Libby
homepage http://xmlrpc-epi.sourceforge.net
open sourced by Epinions.com

With the cookies turn-off the admin.php don't get loguin!

thanks

Thanks :-)

So, have you deleted a specific cookie?

Because turning them all off would not allow you to login (as you've said).

No, I don't deleted any cooky. I only turn-off the cookies.

I think that is a bug in Epiphany.

Thanks

Hi.

i ran into the same Problem using firefox:
firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2006 mozilla.org
i denied using cookies for my own blog page and now it works.

this is kind of a nasty bug, because if anyone visiting the site will see the error, he/she will ignore it since he will not recognize what that means.

--edit
works means: i am able to view the site, but indeed, i am not able to login anymore.

I just experienced this same error. I upgraded to 1.8.6, it worked on Friday. I came back to work on Monday and was getting the "Illegal value received for parameter «author»!" error.

Turning off cookies is just not an option for me....but I ended up going into Firefox and deleting the "author" cookie for my site and that fixed the issue. I'm not sure if there will be any other consequences because of deleting that cookie, but I imagine it will just get re-written when needed.

The error came back for me, but I think I figured out what was happening. I had installed pmwiki on my site and apparently that creates an author cookie which is somehow conflicting with b2e. I'm not sure what the long-term solution is, though.

$cookie_domain / $cookie_path would be a solution. Both apps are probably installed in different paths, so use this path in the cookie setting(s).

Thanks blueyed,

There was a file in pmwiki called author.php which included the variable $AuthorCookieDir. That was originally set to / so I changed it to another path and that seems to have cleared this problem.

Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom!
