Argh, multiple threads... Only now I realised I saw your settings file in another thread before.

First question (sorry if I already asked this in previous thread): did you clean up your caches after changes to civicrm.settings.php related to CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL? This is pretty important, and the best way is to: log out from Drupal, truncate Drupal's cache table, remove files from templates_c directory (excessive step, but still, do it), log in to CiviCRM again.

Configuration file seems ok at first sight.

Thx,
m

[olem]

from http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,9.0.html to this.
I have also the same problem. I can see my admin-panel, but not create new groups.
I have done
both, a and b.

2. in the past when this has happened, the two potential causes are:

a. there is no entry for uid = 0 in your drupal users table (people delete it by mistake and/or user import module might be deleting it according to one IRC user) (I have to correct something here < uid are 1 in civircm.setting.php, and that is correct?)

I make uid 4 to uid 0 in DB. It's that okey?

OR

b. the host names dont match. so ensure that the CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL and $base_url (in drupal settings.php) have the same domain name. If base_url is not set, try setting it (not sure why it being unset causes it to fail, but it does

So what next?

[olem]

My setting.
It's seems that I get contact whit my DB but there are missing some. Someone who can figure it out. My eyes are gone blind...
If not, I will try a new fresh install later to day. (norway time)

I am getting a similar key error when I test from the frontend in Joomla but not when I do a test run from the backend, the email address I enter is entered into the database, but I don't want to be giving people an error message, any insights?

[Dave Greenberg]

Check this post: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,99.0.html

[mfb]

This is a problem, we need to be able to use the drupal cache *and* civicrm.  When a drupal form is rendered to anonymous user, it doesn't have a hidden form_token.   Similarly, civicrm forms should not have a hidden qfKey (assuming this is analogous to form_token), unless the form is being viewed by logged-in users.

[Donald Lobo]

my memory is not very clear with this, but I think this was an issue even before we introduced the qfKey concept. It was just a bit harder to find and debug the issue. If i remember clearly the issue is in the heart of quick form controller and session management there.

I do agree that getting it to work with drupal cache would be great. So if you could investigate the issue in more detail and submit a patch that would be quite excellent and much appreciated.

lobo

[dalin]

We're also experiencing this issue during user submitted contributions.  For logged in users, and possibly also for logged out users.  However I can't seem to replicate the problem.  I just get a report every other day that the "No Valid Key" error has popped up again. 

I think I'm going to write up a custom error handler that emails me a detailed backtrace. 

[alfred_nutile]

I have tried all noted solutions and still stuck.  I will try some others soon.
Civi 1.8 php5 mysql 5 apache 2
One thing for sure is the the process ends after all the work is done in civi.
It creates the civi individual, civi org, groups it right but then crashes at the drupal user I think.

ps....
anonymous user gets the error logged in user does not
drupal roles is set for both these users the same but I will look closer

[Donald Lobo]

alfred:

can u create a new thread. Also let us know what what you are trying to do and what error u r getting. Can u repeat the same process on http://sandbox.civicrm.org/ and see if u get the error

thanx

lobo

[alfred_nutile]

I will do it later tonight or in the morning.
One final note before I forget (I will carry this over too) the form work when I did not choose "Create New Account" for drupal
ps it can be seen here
http://development.buyctgrown.com/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=6

[mfb]

FYI I have a patch enabling the use of drupal caching with civicrm 1.8
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-2210

Actually it simply disables the drupal cache for civicrm pages.  But this does mean the cache can be used for the rest of the site.

[Donald Lobo]

mark:

thanx for the patch. This has been incorporated into the 2.0 code base

lobo

[Chris Burgess]

For our testing, the solution was also to check the existence of UID 0 in the users table.
