CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am getting the above error (could not find a valid session key) when trying to modify a contribution record for an event.

I have checked that my url is actually http://www.txpeds.org/ everywhere it should be (i.e. it's not http://txpeds.org)
I have cleared the cache
I just did the CiviCRM upgrade form 3.2.0 to 3.2.2 thinking that would fix it. It did not
I do have a default 0 anonymous user in my drupal contacts

The error is onlyhappening when I locate a contact via the "events >> manage events >> list event participants" and click view on one of the records and the edit the subsequent contributions.

The only difference that I can tell at the moment is that when I just go edit a user's contribution through the contribution page or through their edit page there is no "&key=788545b5c1277a109e7afdbed1c37171_9875" component to the querystring but when I locate the person via an event search, it has that "key" value and breaks.

Specific links: 

Sample link from the "manage events >> list event participatns" search results  (THROWS ERROR)
https://www.txpeds.org/civicrm/contact/view/contribution?reset=1&action=update&id=254&cid=8619&context=search&compId=28&compAction=4&compContext=participant&key=788545b5c1277a109e7afdbed1c37171_9875

Sample link to the same company and contribution record via their profile (DOES NOT THROW ERROR)
https://www.txpeds.org/civicrm/contact/view/contribution?reset=1&action=update&id=254&cid=8619&context=search&compId=28&compAction=4&compContext=participant

Finally, if I navigate to this (the same as the first link minus the &key=788545b5c1277a109e7afdbed1c37171_9875) it WORKS
https://www.txpeds.org/civicrm/contact/view/contribution?reset=1&action=update&id=254&cid=8619&context=search&compId=28&compAction=4&compContext=participant


I guess the long and short is there seems to either be something really funky with my installation (which is 100% stock) or there's something broken with the search results.

Does anyone have any ideas?

getting the exact same error on an online registration for an event. on three computers and three browsers.

I ran into this problem for anonymous users attempting to register for events while creating a drupal account at the same time.

I am using the drupal boost module.  http://drupal.org/project/boost  I ended up altering the .htaccess file a bit so anonymous users wouldn't pull up a cached civicrm/event/register

I added the above path to the following RewriteCond
  # Caching for anonymous users
  # Skip boost IF not get request OR uri has wrong dir OR cookie is set OR request came from this server OR https request
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD)$ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^/(admin|cache|misc|modules|sites|system|openid|themes|node/add|civicrm/event/register))|(/(comment/reply|edit|user|user/(login|password|register))$) [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} DRUPAL_UID [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Pragma} no-cache [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cache-Control} no-cache [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
  RewriteRule .* - [S=3]
