"invalid request" in Configure after upgrade

[pereirar]

Hi.
I've recently upgraded to PHPlist 2.10.5 via Fantastico in my webhost provider.

After this upgrade, when I try to access the "Configure" options I get an "invalid request" error.

Unfortunately, since it's my first post in this forum, apparently I cannot attach images or link to the screenshot... which is a shame, BTW.

Basically, "invalid request" appears below the following text in the configure screen, and no config options are displayed:

Here you need to specify the correct values for your website.
You can use certain Placeholders in your values. Placeholders look like [SOMETEXT], where SOMETEXT can be different. Some useful placeholders are:

* WEBSITE - the address you type for your website
* DOMAIN - the text you type for your domain
* SUBSCRIBEURL - the location of the subscribe page
* UNSUBSCRIBEURL - the location of the unsubscribe page
* PREFERENCESURL - the location of the page where users can update their details
* CONFIRMATIONURL - the location of the page where users have to confirm their subscription

Thanks in advance to anyone who may help me.

Regards
Rui

I'm getting the same error after a fresh install (done myself, no Fantastico).

Any solution for this?

I'm not sure but this could prevent me from using phplists whatsoever.

I'm using LAMP, with PHP5.

Site (sic) unseen, sounds like there may be an error in the config.php file somewhere??

I'd need to see it to understand it I'm afraid.

No ideas?

I tried using the original config with just the database settings modified, still the same error.

Does somebody know a solution for this? Otherwise I'm forced to uninstall phplist and look for some other software package.

Because right know it just isn't working.

[ghc]

Looked into the code a bit further:

I guess the problem has to do with the following bit of code in admin/configure.php

Code: Select all

  if (!isset($default_config[$id])) {
    print $GLOBALS['I18N']->get('invalid request');
    return;
  }

It looks like $default_config[$id] is empty and as a result of that the configure function doesn't work properly.

Like before any solutions are welcome. I really would like to use phplist, it seems superior to just about any free application available.

I'll be away and unable to respond from monday till friday next week btw.

Regards,

Walrick

I am having this same issue with 2.10.9...any suggestions/ideas? I'm on a shared host...have installed 5 times before without issue.

Thanks!

[elrusso]

I've just installed 2.10.10
Same sign "Invalid request" every time I save a change in configuration.
The change is saved, but i have to go back with the browser's "GO BACK" button...

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks...

[elrusso]

I've got phpList installed in a local webserver. When I configured the "website" option in cofiguration, I've inserted the internet URL of my website.
I noticed that "invalid request" stops showing when the "website" option is configured with the same location where is installed phpList. (in my case, a local URL)

[tunnelboy]

Same problem here. Had the message in 2.10.9. Upgraded to 2.10.10 used NEW config file. Same thing. Any chance this bug will be fixed soon?

elruuso: "website" option. I didn't see this option in the config file. What is the variable or define name you're referring to?
