Serendipity Forums

I have been using Serendipity, flawlessly for a few months. As of today when I try to "create new user" I get the following error:

Your browser did not sent a valid HTTP-Referrer string. This may have either been caused by a misconfigured browser/proxy or by a Cross Site Request Forgery (XSRF) aimed at you. The action you requested could not be completed.

If this error doesn't show up I am automatically redirected back to the "log in" page.

I tried different configurations with no luck. Also I tried Firefox, Explorer 8, and Google Chrome on three different machines with same error.

Thanks in advance...

Are you running a recent s9y (v1.5.5)? If not, please upgrade asap. See here or search this forum for further info and instructions.

Hi!

Also, usually this error means one of two things:

1. Something on your server configuration or software has changed, rendering PHP sessions no longer properly working (misconfigured /tmp storage, changed server components, new php.ini, ...)

2. You changed your browser or browsers configuration, or added some antivirus or whatever antispy software that no longer accepts the cookies that s9y needs to recognize you as being logged in

HTH,
