Need help with goforum.cgi and IkonBoard

Can't Post

I've done that, create a "comments" user, then logged-in and posted, not problem. I then entered "comment" as "forum-user" and "forum-pass" but it is still hanging up at line 377. Still I get Error message: "Unable to get session ID out of cookies!" In other words, dying at line 416, when it tries to login-in on this session ID issue.
Oh, I am using Ikonboard, as you can tell from where it is hanging up. What do I do to overcome this? I've reviewed my "user defined" choices such as forum_url, etc. several times. Thanks for any help
edit by dave - moved thread and changed title.

Are you able to login to the forum yourself with the username and password you created? Is their an option in Ikonboard whether or not to use cookies or does it always use cookies?

If you set debug = 1 in the script it shows you the output from the forum when it tries to create a new thread. Does turning debug on show any relevant errors the forum may be producing?

Dave, finally got this working. I had a friend who knows perl look at the script. He changed it in two small places. Says Ikonboard likely updated this script after the goforum.cgi was written. Email me at jgary@wnrf.org if you are using Ikonboard and having similar problems and I can email you my corrected script.

Ok, attached is the goforum.cgi file, corrected for Ikonboard 3.1. I don't which lines my friend changed, but I imagine it had to do with login-in, lines 377 and following. On this changed file, you still have to set the $Bin and forum_url and create a "comments" user in Ikonboard, with a comments password.

I copied-in your new goforum file. I'm using Ikonboard 3.1.1
Still getting error:
"Unable to get session ID out of cookies! "
"at /goforum.cgi line 378. "
** Using a good username & password
Ideas?

I just sent you a PM. It seems like ikonboard uses different cookies depending on your setup. If you could respond to my PM we can just confirm that and I can update the code to work with all the different cookie names that might be used.

In the Admin/CP of Ikonboard, did you set your Options/Settings, Board Options, Cookie Settings to something unique? I did. If it is left blank, the goforum.cgi program doesn't hand things over.

Yes -- I did name my cookies. In fact, I believe Ikonboard instructs you to do so in the configs.

I think I've got it fixed. It appears that the BSessionID is
named something different on every site, so line 379 of goforum.cgi may have to be changed for some or all of the sites you put this on.
The change isn't hard, so I'm feeling kinda bad that it took me a week
to troubleshoot it. This is what to do to the old script.
1) When you set the program to report errors on the debug mode, look for something named xxxBSessionID=[long string of characters], where the xxx is two or three characters, For instance, I got was:
wiBSessionID=f2afa05278abeaabba994d54beeca0c3;
2) I find the script on the server and edit line 379. It looks like
this:
if ($cookie !~ /lmBSessionID=([^;]+)/is) { die("Unable to get session
ID out of cookies! $cookie"); }
I just change the BSessionID to match, so it looks like this:
if ($cookie !~ /wiBSessionID=([^;]+)/is) { die("Unable to get session
ID out of cookies! $cookie"); }
