PHP Link Directory v4.0 Installation Problem: Too long comment for table ‘pld_submit_verification’

September 23, 2009

In “include\tables.php” COMMENT is defined as:
‘Stores submit sessions for an improved validation of submitions’
replace it with something shortened:
‘Stores submit sessions for an improved validation’

Save the “include\tables.php” then resume the installation from where problem occured. You don’t need to drop the database and restart installation.

PHP Link Directory v4.0 Installation Problem – “Session variables are not available or not properly configured”

September 23, 2009

While installing PHPLD v4.0 on the second page i get an error message ” Session variables are not available or not properly configured.” The problem I identified was with the “include/config.php” setting.

The issue can be resolved in one the following ways:

a) in the .htacces add this if your host allows you to set php attributes:
php_value session.save_path /yourdomain/tmp/
obviously change yourdomain to your real site.

or

b) in the /include/config.php, add under the other ini_set that is in there:
ini_set (’session.save_path’, ‘/tmp’);
or
ini_set (’session.save_path’, INSTALL_PATH.’temp’);

The IP you are using to access the e-gold website appears to be either an open proxy

September 21, 2009

Is your e-gold account blocked? Are you trying to access your e-gold account and finding it difficult. Bewildered and clueless having the e-gold security notification like this one below?

“Unable to login to account.

Access denied

The IP you are using to access the e-gold website (your IP) appears to be either an open proxy or otherwise exploited. You will not be permitted to access e-gold services from this IP while this condition continues.

Your first order of business to restore access should be to make sure that you are computing securely. Please read and implement e-gold’s Security Recommendations.

After you have resolved any security issues, including virus removal, it may take a day or two for your access to be re-enabled.”

Well you are not alone. Especially if you are using an internet connection offered by mobile telephone company. A VPN connection is costly. To resolve this issue you may try some free proxy but note that chances are these proxies may also be blocked by e-gold once they notice it.

Some proxy that may allow access to your e-gold account are:

The below proxy no longer works:
