global login, among others

[Memnarch]

ok, first of all, I am using version 2.0.3 that I compiled from cvs a few months ago. I can't update, because it says I need libcurl. I installed both the normal and -devel files, here are the versions: libcurl3-devel-7.13.1-2mdk.i586.rpm / libcurl3-7.13.1-2mdk.i586.rpm

It still give me the same error: need libcurl, check the site.

So, now my global login doesn't work. it says "global login rejected, bad token". I came here, and even changed my password. So, i thought it might be because I needed to update... still can't update btw. one day it was working fine, next my global login doesn't work, and I can't play with my login on the server where I am cop, so I can't use my priviliges to watch over the server, either. Please help me, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

try changing your list server port to 81 in your config

the common reason for a "bad" token is that the token you have and the token the server has are difrent. This often happens when there is a caching proxy server on your connection. Basicly it keeps giving you an old token.

It's not a lib curl problem ( you are geting the list server, AND a token ). It's not a password / username problem ( becuse you got a token, if you have an invalid account, you don't get a token ).

well, didn't find it in the config file, so I am guessing I'll have to add it in myself, but I am guessing it's something like this:

Code: Select all

#set list server port 81

but I have no idea, so could you please post it here? thx!

I had a report from one of my users of a similar problem (on windows) where they had quotes ("") in the email part of the config. Removing them fixed it.

Maybe check that.

no no, there should be a line that looks like this

Code: Select all

#set list http://db.bzflag.org/db/

change it to be

Code: Select all

set list http://db.bzflag.org:81/db/

note, REMOVE the # or it won't work
