whos online and windows server?

[billybrag]

does anyone know why the whos online last url visited feature doesnt work with windows 2003 IIS6 . I was hosted on a linux server but had to move, its really frustrating!

 

does anyone have any ideas at all, or had the same problem? i tried upgrading the feature which added the referal url, which works fine, but still no joy on the last url bit!

could be the firewall is setup differently, the permissions on the server, etc. windows is tempermental until you get it right.

This is what worked for me with my shared hosting Windows server:

 

In catalog/includes/functions/whos_online.php change:

 

$wo_last_page_url = getenv('REQUEST_URI');

 

to:

 

$wo_last_page_url = $_SERVER[?URL?];

 

Let me know if it works for you.

I had the same problem, found a fix at php.net: Reserved variables

 

here's the code I put in catalog/includes/functions/whos_online.php:

 

    $wo_last_page_url = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

   if(!isset($wo_last_page_url)) 
   {
     $arr = explode("/", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
     $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = "/" . $arr[count($arr)-1];
     if ($_SERVER['argv'][0]!="")
      $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .= "?" . $_SERVER['argv'][0];
      
      $wo_last_page_url = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
   }

 

This works fine on W2K3 Server.
