Hello everyone!
I have Gossamer Links SQL 2.1.0 & vBulletin 3.8.0 and have been pulling my hair out trying to make the logging process work. I am close to solving the problem, but need some help as I am not the best programmer. There were two solutions presented, and I got stuck in both. Here's how far I got in each scenario:
1) http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...?post=291684;#291684 -> I followed garrynz's instructions, and what happens is when I try to log in, it just goes to vBulletin's login_links.php page and stays there. The page is also completely empty. However, if I manually go back to Gossamer's add.cgi page, I'm now logged in. This means everything except the redirecting part works.
2) http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...?post=291523;#291523 -> I followed aus_dave's instructions, and I am having the exact same problem that Evoir had, where vBulletin logs me in, then goes back to Gossamer's login page, where I'm supposedly still not logged in. However, if I manually go back to Gossamer's add.cgi page, I'm now logged in, just like the first scenario above. This means everything works, except now I get redirected to an incorrect place.
I believe I followed all the instructions correctly, EXCEPT the following which mentions SSI that I couldn't fully understand: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...?post=294977;#294977 -> Can someone please give me more details on what I need to do? Here's what I did:
"<!--#include virtual="/vb.php"-->" -> I thought I was supposed to put this within the login.html template, but after I did that and tested it out, when I view the source of the actual login page, the "<!--#include virtual="/vb.php"-->" part still shows as is. I presume that this means that it isn't being parsed as a script and is being presented as HTML instead. Also, I put the vb.php in the same directory as the add.cgi file.
I think I'm missing something simple here, so any help is greatly appreciated. If someone can point me in the right direction (especially regarding the SSI issue), I might be able to solve the rest myself. Thank you in advance!
