What was done before the problem appeared?
Nothing, it used to work just fine


What was done to try to solve the problem?
Nothing yet, I will just replace all relevant files if no solution can be given



De.scription and Message

I tried to add another google bot a minute ago and got this error

Not Found
The requested URL /forum/admin/admin_bots.php&id=1&pending=1&data=ip&action=add_pending was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at http://www.black-fusion.com Port 80

I will probably go ahead and replace all bot related files but I am posting this as reference in case anyone else has this problem.

I will post back if it worked or not.

If you get this error when trying to add bots try the following fix

Open includes/sessions.php

Find:

Code: Select all

if ( !empty($SID) && !preg_match('#sid=#', $url) && !defined('IS_ROBOT') )

Replace With]if ( !empty($SID) && !preg_match('#sid=#', $url) )[/code]

Save, Close

Note: This is for anyone who has tried to upgrade or done any changes to sessions dealing with bots. You could also try this if you haven't but this is what fixed mine

Nice Work Frost!!!!

That bug has been a pain in the yoohoo since day 1.
I installed 1.4.1 with a fresh install and got that problem.
That's something you can add to the fixes for the fresh installs.

Not sure if it's another bug, but the pages count goes up by 2 when adding or ignoing pending bots

I notice the master download hasn't had this bug fixed in it.

Helter or whoever has access, should put this bug fix in the download so others don't have to worry about it later.

sorry, i missed this thread...what does this fix?

When you add pending bots, it works for a while, and then you eventually get the error Frost posted above.
Once you get that error, the pending bots page is totally useless until you do the above fix. Then you can back to adding pending bots. Unless there is a better fix.
