Symptoms

  1. Upon saving the JomSocial Configuration, you are redirected to the Joomla Administrator Control Panel.
  2. Any changes done in JomSocial Configuration are not saved.

Possible Causes

  • Suhosin module

Suhosin is a module installed in your webserver to strengthen its security against common attacks. A misconfiguration / severely strict security restriction in Suhosin could easily prevent PHP scripts from saving information into the database. You can verify the existence of Suhosin by going to: Joomla 1.5: Administrator > Help > System Information > PHP Information Joomla 1.7: Administrator > Site > System Information > PHP Information, and locate: This server is protected with the Suhosin Patch 0.9.6.2

To solve this, please modify PHP.ini, and increase the value of these two settings:

suhosin.post.max_vars = 1000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 1000
