New registrations redirected back to T&C's page

Post by Socialoutcast »

I've just been made aware of the fact that people can't register on my forum any more. Every time someone enters their details and hits the submit button it redirects them to the T&C's page again. Also when you click on the link to register this appears at the top of the page

Code: Select all

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/ucp/ucp_register.php on line 97: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/ucp/ucp_register.php on line 99: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

I have the latest version of phpBB. Any help would be appreciated :)

Do you have any MODs on the board? array_merge is actually on line 99 and there is no foreach at all in ucp/ucp_register.php.

To further assist you, would you please fill out the Support Request Template.

If that is the only MOD you have, you could easily try running a clean set of phpBB files, and see if the problem persists.
You can try uploading all the files (except the "install" folder) from the "full install" package into a different directory on your web server, and just copy the config.php file from your running board.
Browse to the new folder. If the problem goes away, it is the anti spam MOD causing the problem.

I did as you suggested ric323 and was able to register just fine Also the writing was gone so I guess I'll be removing the anti-spam ACP mod. This presents another problem as before I installed it I was getting 10+ spam bots registering each day with sometimes up to a hundred spam posts and I really don't want to go back to cleaning up that mess again on a daily basis. I guess I'll do a search and look for any other kind of anti spam modifications I could try.

Thank you for your help Dicky and ric 323 :D

You don't need any. There are plenty of good new options built in since 3.0.6.

I'm an idiot :oops: I was looking over the includes folder and found a .php file called authorized_url which led me to a mod with the same name. It doesn't show up on my admin panel at all. It included a php file to update the database so I'm not sure how to remove it? Do I just undo the modifications I made to the various files? Will the database need modifying again?

Just do this and you'll have a totally unmodded board that's up to date

*NOTE: Before proceeding backup all files and the database.*
  • Upload all new files from a download of the full version, except for config.php, the /images and /files folders.
  • Go to yoursite.com/forumfolder/install/database_update.php
  • Let that run and then delete the install folder.
  • You now have a new up to date board containing all your users and posts but without any MODs that you might have had installed.
