[Replied] Connect from WIFI router issue

 I have no problem connecting to my chamilo platform from different locations but i have a recurring problem with my wifi router. logging directly with the ADSL without using the router works ok. logging into chamilo from the wifi (same router) result in an error. bugs me. anyone has experienced this?

i dont see any IP to

i dont see any IP to configure in that file... again, my problem is'nt to see my platform. it is there and works great. my problem is not being able to log into my account when connected from my wifi router. connecting directly thru my adsl modem works (and most other connections outside my home, like office, etc.). one thing i noticed, when i try to log in from wifi, i get an error each and every time. in the "who's online" link i can see my account as active though... weird because it is not there before i try to log in!!!

Hi there, I think I remember

Hi there,

I think I remember something similar in the past, but it was bound to using the sessions with the database mode (which requires manual changes inside the scripts). It was because the session had been "cut" in half. This was fixed in previous releases of Chamilo though.

The way you describe it, and knowing the path of the web cycle, you probably cannot recover the cookie from the server. This cookie identifies your session (you get a cookie from your site URL with a ch_session_id or something like that which is your own session ID). So you can post but you cannot receive any data from that server. This might be due to the configuration of your wireless router. Maybe it has some kind of firewall or other filtering mechanism (proxy?) that prevents full access to/from this site.

Either way, it would be nice to have a look inside your browser cookies and check if you effectively receive a cookie or not:

Edition -> Preference -> Private - > Delete specific cookies -> search for your Chamilo server URL there, delete it/them, then try to connect again. If the cookie reappears, this means you get the cookie and the problem is elsewhere.

 yes, i get cookies. i have

 yes, i get cookies. i have set my router to DMZ but still doesn't work. prolly a router problem.

Perhaps locally you aren't

Perhaps locally you aren't connected to the same IP address (for example 192.168.0.5 is not visible from the Internet, but can be a local network address for a computer).

In configuration.php is stored the IP addres that must be used.

The inverse happen when you test Chamilo locally and then you wish to use it as an erogation system in the Internet.
