In the ACP my Site says... "Powered by Icy Phoenix 1.0.14.14 based on phpBB 2.0.22"
But I download the last version last week called "ip_20071031_11015_cumpatches". Why does my site not change the version to the last one?
Thanx

Because the cumpathes are for people who has got that version before.
You should upgrade to 1.1.0.15c before apply any cumulative patch.

I agree with novice

Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

Sorry for so a stupid question but how I update my site from 1.0.14.14 to 1.1.0.15c ?
I went to DONWLOAD here and found the file! After download it I copied everything over the site root and then the site tried to install everything from begining asking me server, user, etc.
Is that the correct way? Is there a TOPIC here teaching how to update IP to new versions?

2º question... I have my site working in a public domain like everyone here. I would like to have a copy of it workin in my computer localy.
First i copied all the files and then i went to the DATA directory and copy my MySQL database from a computer to other.
The site seems to work but when I enter to any TOPIC y show me error 404.
I know I can backup my datebases from ACP, it generate a file and then when I try to restore it on the other site I get almost a blank page. You can see it here!

Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

remember

you are not installing new site, you are updating !

replace root without config.php and install dir.
in install directory find update_to_ip.php file and place into root too
login as admin and run it www.yoursite/icyphoenix/update_to_ip.php

difus [ Tue 06 Nov, 2007 21:15 ]
Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

second question

do you change server and path in database config table ?

ialvarez [ Wed 07 Nov, 2007 12:20 ]
Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

Thanx Difus for help!

1) I will do it now and tell you later if worked!
2) I did not understand the question. Will you tell me the steps to backup a database y restore it later on a diferent Server?
I did the following:

- First I went to ACP on Icyphoenix and backup DB. (I got a file there)
- Second I went to my clon site to ACP and try to restore it without doing anything else and I got the screen you could see in my post before.

Is there a step I have to do before Restoring?

P/D: My production site is working on http://150.150.1.75:8090/forum (internal IP) and MySQL DB is in 150.150.1.75
and my Backup site is on a different address: http://150.150.1.22:8090/forum and the MySQL DB is in 150.150.1.22
In both cases DB have the same name (foro)

Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

Point 1 solved! Thanx man!
Let's go for the point 2)

difus [ Wed 07 Nov, 2007 18:02 ]
Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

in your case open database and search for 150.150.1.75
after search open this table and edit [ change to 150.150.1.22]

ialvarez [ Wed 07 Nov, 2007 18:54 ]
Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

That was the first thing I did but couldn't find any table with that data!
Do you know the name of that table by chance?

difus [ Wed 07 Nov, 2007 19:23 ]
Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

config table -> server name or server

Corleone [ Fri 09 Nov, 2007 16:52 ]
Post subject: Re: BUG - You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attem

Try this:

forum/common.php

FIND

REMOTE_ADDR (all REMOTE_ADDR)

and replace this by

HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR

Corleone.

ialvarez [ Fri 09 Nov, 2007 18:27 ]
Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

Grande CORLEONE, it worked!
Now tell me... I could read this written in the file common.php

// Obtain and encode users IP
//
// I'm removing HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR ... this may well cause other problems such as
// private range IP's appearing instead of the guilty routable IP, tough, don't
// even bother complaining ... go scream and shout at the idiots out there who feel
// "clever" is doing harm rather than good ... karma is a great thing ...

I don't understand...
What kind of problems may it cause the changes you told me to do?

Thanx!

Post subject: Re: BUG - You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attem

Ok good ialvarez...
first, sorry for my english...

The IP address in the variable "REMOTE_ADDR" PHP is now one of your host (and other)

HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST returns nothing HTTP_HOST returns well and the domain name. The proxy was in place (ip REMOTE_ADDR returns the proxy, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR my ip)

Error réctified, add in the code for the new ICYPHOENIX versions - SOLVED

did you read and try my post #8 here ?

ialvarez [ Tue 20 Nov, 2007 12:44 ]
Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

yes Difus I tried your post #8 on file includes/user_cp_register.php.
My file is modified as you said and it doesn't work...

What I think, it what I said before. My site runs under a ISA Server. And for my site every post come from the same internal IP (150.150.1.74).
Is there any table on MySql that register this IP? May I clean it? What is its name?

sorry
it is too difficult for me to understand your question

ialvarez [ Thu 22 Nov, 2007 20:29 ]
Post subject: Re: You Have Exceeded The Number Of Registration Attempts

I mean... if we got that sign in our site it is because somewhere this site must be registering the Internet Address from where users are written post from or entering from.
Why this site can tell you "You have exceeded....."? Because it register (I think) the IP (Internet Address) from users write from.

If this site register them, it has to be in a table....
Am I clear? Sorry for my english, maybe I can try in spanish!
