Greg, I've sent you the upgraded V4.7.5 .sql file which you can import in your database of your V4.7.5 calendar using phpMyAdmin.

Finally, I am back on the case!

Roel, you should find the file you need in your Inbox.

Hi Roel,

Many thanks! I'll take up that offer!

I couldn't ask for more!

But I won't be able to supply the file till the early part of next week as I'm away at a conference till then.

Greg

Hi Greg,

I think it's a matter of clearing the browser cache and maybe deleting some old cookies after a V7.4.5 installation.

I'll make you an offer:
Export your current v4.7.3 database to a .sql file (with phpMyAdmin), send me the file and I will upgrade it for you. Thereafter you can import the upgraded .sql file in your second new installation and then together we will make it work, without PHP Session Expired messages.

Deal?

Roel

I'm still running 4.7.3 and have just tried to upgrade to 4.7.5 but the same (or a related) issue appears still occurs. I get a "PHP Session Expired" message whenever I go to login. I've had to use the Softaculous backup facility to get back to 4.7.3 which continues to run just fine.

I really do need to sort this out. I've now got a second new installation created and want a way of importing all my existing data.

I see that this alone doesn't do it:

1. Do an full iCal export
2. Create brand a new installation of LuxCal
3. Import the iCal data

as it seems that I need to get all my categories entered first and maybe other settings?

What files in installation of 4.7.3 would contain the necessary data?

Hi Roel,

Apologies for late reply. I've been tremendously busy with other projects.
Hopefully, I will have time next week to created a duplicate calendar to which I will be happy to give you access.
I'll let you know as soon as I have it ready.

[Edit]Duplicate because I wonder if some of the issues are related to the upgrade and files which may have been left from the previous installation. But if you think a second completely new installation would help I can do that with an empty calendar immediately.

Hi,

I had the problem when upgrade from 4.7.3 to 4.7.4 with "session expired" error.

I deleted any luxcal cookies into my browser, and deleted PHP sessions on server side.

Now everything seems to be OK.

Edit : and thank you for the Calendar, it's a good product

Hi Greg,

The link to V4.7.2L when you hover the Powered by LuxSoft button is my mistake and will be corrected in a next version. This doesn't harm.
The fact that you get a Session expired message with "== no token assigned ==" in the footer could be caused because of "old" cookies in the browser cache.

I'm certainly willing to help you and with FTP access further analyse the problem. However, if you re-upgrade, the users of your calendar will most probably encounter the same problems, which will be annoying.
Is there no way to install the new 4.7.4 calendar in a test folder, so that I can test without affecting the main calendar? Via email I can explain to you in a few lines how to do this; it's really easy - no Softaculous needed.
Let me know if you want me to do this.

Roel

I've done some investigation and found that in the v4.7.4M archive there is a file at:
pages/alert.php in which lines 51-56 contains:

<footer>
<span class='floatR'><a href='http://www.luxsoft.eu?V4.7.2L' target='_blank'>powered by <span class='footLB'>Lux</span><span class='footLR'>Soft</span></a></span>
<?
if (!empty($note)) { echo "<span class='note'>== {$note} ==</span>"; }
?>
</footer>

And it appears to be called three times from within index.php (and a lot of language files.)

Could this be the rogue file causing the problem?

In order to maintain calendar access I have used the Softaculous "Restore" facility and I am now back running 4.7.3M (as reported by the "Powered by LuxSoft" button) and all seems to be well again.

Let me know if you wish me to re-upgrade and grant you Admin access to the calendar in order to investigate went wrong.
