Cannot Save FC Configuration after Initial Installation

Hi,

I have followed all requirements mentioned in this thread www.flexicontent.org/documentati ... tions.html and even asked my host provider to do the necessary changes for PHP and MySQl but still, after the initial installation of FC, got the message 'Please open and save Configuration. Then REFRESH and this message will disapear .', I opened the configuration page, make necessary change and click on save but it does not save, instead, I am redirected to Joomla default configuration page!

Have tried more than once to install/unistall but still same issue, cannot do anything!

I forget to mention, we are using Joomla 3.1.5 and FC 2.1.0 (latest version downloaded today).

Hello

i managed to save configuration after, deleting some configuration pages, prior to clicking save,

-- so now you will not see this message asking you to save configuration

-- but the problem remains the configuration cannot be resaved if needed (i think the permissions page is quite big)

-- please try this:
(add to .htaccess):
(if the above already exists then change it to be 3000)

then try to save FLEXIcontent component configuration, NOTE: if saving is successful then you must see:


Message
Configuration successfully saved.

Hi,

I have set the max_input_vars to 10000 and FC is still not saving, seems that it is not because of the max_input_vars that FC is not saving! We have another website www.mauriestate.com hosted on the same VPS and we have installed FC there as well, configuration is saving perfectly, it seems that there is something wrong in our www.golfmediaplus.com extension/plugin environment that is making conflict on FC but we cannot identify what is causing that!

Please help us on this, as need FC to be operational on this website as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for your support.

Hello,

you have Suhosin PHP patch installed on your server (see below)

1. if i delete some variable from the form then it gets saved

2. you have raised all limits quite high,
but you have Suhosin limit:
suhosin.post.max_vars 1000

so i am pretty sure that is causing the problem since FLEXIcontent posts about 1000-1200 variables

please add to your .htaccess
(add to .htaccess):

php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 10000
php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 10000


test and report back here (you can also ask your host provider how to make these limits higher)

Hi,

@ggppdk: You are and will remain the best, that is the main reason that I have always preferred FC rather than any other CCK for Joomla.

You were right about the Suhosin, after increasing it to 10000 as you mentioned, I was able to save the configuration of FC and it seems to work fine now.

Thank you very much for this great and quick support, very much appreciated, I do not regret at all to have get back to FC and it's a real pleasure to have it for Joomla 3.1 now. Again, thank you so much.
