I login from the calendar using ID and password.  This screen shows that I am logged in.  But when I click on Add Event, Edit Event or Admin I receive the following message. "Your Session has expired. You must login again."  I login again at that time and it comes back and says that my login is successful on the select calendar screen. But again if I select a calendar if comes back with "Your Session has expired. You must login again."  

Help!?

FYI, I have been using this since February with no problems.  Also I went to an independent computer to the network and had same problem.

This sounds like your computer is not accepting cookies. Have you installed any firewall software or changed settings in an existing firewall? The same goes for your browser.

I'm having the same problem.  Our calendar has been working perfectly for over a year.  As far as I know, nothing has changed except for some events that we added.

Today, when I log on I get the message: "Your Session has expired. You must login again."  This seems to be an endless loop, and I can't get out of it.

Session folder is CHMOD 777.  Cookies are enabled.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ron L.

It is quite possible that the server administrator has changed something on the server which has changed the permissions of the CalendarScript 'sessions' directory. I suggest you contact their support to see if they can help.

Thanks, DanO.  Since posting my earlier message, I discovered that tfish and I both have our sites hosted at Powweb.  So it seems to be a problem with them.

I've contacted Powweb's admin, so hopefully they will be able to help.

In the meantime, do you have any ideas on which files they might have changed permissions?  

Thanks again for your response.

I don't know about files but I would assume the CalendarScript 'session' directory would likely be effected.

BTW. It is not necessarily permissions, it could be that the ownership has changed instead.

Dan O,

Thanks much.  It appears to be a time stamp issue with Powweb.  RonL and I both posted to Powwebs user forum and found someone with a similar problem with time stamps and there session time with their database.  He came up with a fix that would be temporary until Powweb addresses the time stamp.  The following is the entry of his fix.  Do you know if we can increase the auth time for calendarscript and where we can do it?

//////////////
Well, since the timestamp problem hasn't been fixed, I went in and edited my .cfg file and changed the length of time by adding 100,000 seconds instead of 21,000 seconds I have had it set at for so long and suddenly my databases are working again.

This is the part in my config file:

Original setting:

# The amount of time in seconds that user files are kept in the
# auth directory before the program removes them. 2-6 hours is
# probably a good value.
$auth_time = 21600; # 6 hours (in seconds)

New setting that's working now:

# The amount of time in seconds that user files are kept in the
# auth directory before the program removes them. 2-6 hours is
# probably a good value.
$auth_time = 121600; # 33.8 hours (in seconds)

The time stamp on my hosting provider is correct now and I no longer have your session is timed out.... This is great I can use the Calendarscript again...  

Thanks Ron L for your follow through and working together to get our hosting provider to see the problem as it really was.
