Sitebar client not working with pHp 7.1

[barnycloud]

I had to update pHp to 7.1, because my webspace provider does not support pHp 7.0 anymore. Sitebar client does not work in Firefox anymore.
What to do?

SiteBar now supports PHP 8.3. I did not test backward compatibility but would not expect it to work on anything below 8.0. So I would strongly recommend upgrading to at least PHP 8.3. Or finding a hosting that allows containerized versions to be hosted.

Thank You for the quick answer. I have updated php to version 8.3. Nevertheless, sitebar does not work. After trying to log in from the website, a white area opens. J.

Now you have to follow https://github.com/brablc/sitebar/blob/master/doc/troubleshooting.txt and provide some error messages that you see.

As I reported to You, I have solved the problem by copying the latest version of sitebar to my webspace. Now it works.
But I now have a different problem. In order not to be dependent on my web host, I have now tried to install sitebar on my old Raspberry. I have installed Apache2, PHP and MariaDB. I have exported my database on my web space using PHPMYADMIN and then imported it into a newly created MariaDB on my Rasperry using again PHPMYADMIN. Everything worked fine, but after filling in the input mask of Sitebar the message appears:
DB Configuration Install & Upgrade Guide Troubleshooting Your software version 3.6.2 differs from the database version 3.6.1. Upgrade Downgrade Reload

But no matter whether I click on Downgrade or Upgrade (which one is correct here?), all I get is a blank white web page.

I have exported the current database from my web host. In the table sitebar_config the release is 3.6.2. I imported this into the (emptied) database on the Raspberry and lo and behold, I can access the login menu. But despite entering the correct data for user and password, I can't get into Sitebar. The following message appears in German above the login area: Sie müssen Cookies erlauben, sich anzumelden oder zu registrieren! (You must allow cookies to log in or register!) But I have allowed cookies in Firefox. Sitebar version 3.6.2 is installed on the server (Raspberry) and PHP version is 8.2.7

[brablc]

You should upgrade, latest version is 3.6.2. But as it does not work you may try to execute this SQL manually: https://github.com/brablc/sitebar/blob/master/sql/upgrade_3.6.1.sql

[barnycloud]

I have used sidebar version 3.6.2 (from GitHub master.zip). In the database (mariaDB 10.11.6) in the table sidebar_config version 3.6.2 is shown. I have used now a Raspberry 4. I have looked in the database whether all the needs of release upgrade_3.6.1.sql are fullfilled in the database tables. I still cannot login and get the message in German: Sie müssen Cookies erlauben, sich anzumelden oder zu registrieren! (You must allow cookies to log in or register!). What is wrong?

[brablc]

Well this can be difficult to debug. Do you have some other tool that runs on the same environment and uses cookies (e.g. to login)? We have to rule out if the problem is in the Sitebar or in the environment. Please try to open browser console (developer tools) and watch for errors. It may show why cookies are rejected.

[barnycloud]

Thank you for your valuable tips! I opened the Firefox console. When I tried to log in with sitebar installed on the Raspberry, I got the following error message (in German): 'Das Cookie "SB3COOKIE" wurde abgelehnt, weil ein Nicht-HTTPS-Cookie nicht als "secure" gesetzt werden kann.' (in English: 'The cookie “SB3COOKIE” was rejected because a non-HTTPS cookie cannot be set as “secure”.) So that was the problem why it didn't work on the Raspberry; on the webspace of my hoster the subdomain with sitebar is encrypted with https. That's why it worked there. On the Rasperry I have now also encrypted the apache server with openssl Can you comment out the default 'secure' in the php code? I only wanted to use sitebar on the Raspberry in the local network. All environment parameters remain constant on the Raspberry; I will not update mysql or php here. Thanks again! Can I show You my appreciation, e.g. via Paypal?
