Topic-icon Problem after successful import of profile

I have been searching your boards but I can figure out what's going on. I was able to load the component on my site here is the current info on the site:

Joomla 1.5.9
Jomsocial 145
JFBCLogin 1.5_v2.0.1
shs404SEF 1.0.16

Site is mydesignstyle.com

I have sef turned on and updated my htaccess file with the recommended changes.

I can successful log the facebook user in, but it occassion hangs when i try to long them out. Once I log them out and try to log them in again, the system sends me to a Forbidden access page with the word flooding underneath. I have set the connect url in facebook to <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="mydesignstyle.com">mydesignstyle.com and the base url to mydesignstyle.com. Once the error occurs the only way to get out of the error is to delete the user in Joomla and clear my cookies, any help would be great appreciated.

In SH404, make sure advanced settings are turned on. Then go to "Security" and scroll down about half-way. Turn off "Activate anti-flood". See what happens then. Flooding is making multiple requests to a server from the same account over a short period of time. If this fixes the problem (and you want the anti-flooding capabilities of SH404 enabled), turn down some of the settings until you don't see the problem anymore.

Both the user's browser and Facebook make many calls to the site at the same time and they all look like they're from the same person, which looks to SH404 as a possible attack. We're investigating ways to minimize this, but due to the auto-login feature, when you return to a site and are already logged in, this causes a few additional requests which can activate the flooding.

Let us know if this helps!

Thanks I did some research and found this but thanks for the quick reply. I now don't get the forbidden access but I am now getting

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.


Seems to be tied to my htaccess file I made changes to this htaccess file

Options ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|.php|.html|.feed|.pdf|.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|%3D) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*(.*) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (<|%3C).*script.*(>|%3E) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|[|%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|[|%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]


But that didn't seem to help, anything you can see if the htaccess file that would be causing my browser not to be able to access the site. Thanks again for the help on this

More information, I tried to not use the sh404sef component by disabling it and then set joomla not to use friendly url and the result was the same firefox wouldn't reload the page. Here are the step of what I did

[*] Created a user from facebook
[*] Logged out of facebook from my website
[*] Tried to log back in, error occurs.

Thanks

OK, I started from scratch trying to just load the jfbconnect module and component, still getting the same error when I logout and try to log back in. Anybody had this problem before did I just set this up incorrectly.

Sorry to hear you had so many issues. In case others have it, can you post what was going wrong so that they'll know how to fix it as well?

Thanks!
