CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have created two profiles one for volunteer sign up and one for newsletter sign up. When either of them are filled out on my Joomla frontend and submitted I get the following error:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
Could not find valid Key

this only occures when the form is submitted thru the www.mydomain.com and not mydomain.com. I checked the civicrm.settings.php and changed the base URL to www.mydomain.com and changed the global settings in CiviCRM to reflect the same. I also did an "update directory and URL" from Administer CiviCRM. I have deleted one profile and recreated it hoping that would work, but to no avail. What am I missing here. I have done a search in this forum for "valid Key" and found no answer.

Please advise. Thank you in advance for assistance. I'm using Joomla 1.5.15 and CiviCRM 3.0.3

I ran the script you posted with www.mydomain.com in place of the <sitename>. it took me to the CiviCRM start page with no errors so I am assuming things went correctly. I'm still getting the same error. When I mouse over the "save" and "cancel" buttons, the bottom bar on my browser shows the url to still be http://<mydomain.com>/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/create&
Could this be the problem? Is there a way to rebuild the buttons?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I did not realize that there were two civicrm.settings.php. That did the trick. Again, thank you for your help.
