This can mean a few things but if you can't register user accounts it sounds like you perhaps don't match one of the install requirements.

Things to check:

1. Do you have curl installed
2. Register_globals is off.
3. Try someone's API key even if it's not a ceo/director key as it should still pull in the characters
4. Make sure you are running PHP 5.1.2+

You can check some of this information by running a phptest file which is explained nicely here: http://www.kirupa.com/web/testphp.htm

If you want I can also look at it directly with you if you wish to message me.

I just tried it with no issues at all. So what you can do if you have direct access to the DB is see if the user settings are updating.

In the DB open up pos3_user and look at the user_track settings. If at 0 then no settings have been set and it's still on default. If there's something in there it goes like this

amount of towers displayed (dot) sort selection in numeric form

Depends on you web host but usually it'll require them making change. I'd contact tech support and report the problem it probably was an oversight on their part since it's a extension almost everyone would use which is why it was made part of the core for PHP.

Trying #2. Stupid forums bitched about invalid HTML. Seriously CCP thanks for destroying my post. Now to remember what I typed.

It looks like there are other siteground users who come across this same error.

Things to try(note if #2 doesn't work, remove it before trying #3):

1. Make sure your cron job has this in front: /usr/local/bin/php5

2. Put the following right after ?php in class.pos.php

function date_default_timezone_set($dummy) {
// do nothing
}

if you get an error, tryin putting in further down and see what happens.

3. Replace date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); with putenv("TZ=UTC"); in class.pos.php and see what happens.

My main concern is that the php versions are running in different versions and so what may work in cron may not work in the normal POS tracker. This is mainly specific to #2.

Best of luck to you, please let me know what happens because 95% of the time no one does. So maybe by adding this line the chance is increased.

For #2: That's good in a sense at your install is really running at something past PHP 5.1 lol.

For #3: Try just commenting out the entire date_default.... with two slashes in front // . What do you have in the line for your cron job exactly(its okay to exclude your server address/personal details) and is this in cPanel I'm guessing?

We'll try another thing or two left and then maybe just manual for the rest of the POS tracker's life if we can't figure it out. :P

Thanks for making this POS Tracker \o/

Ohh well, expect the fuel block patch probably the week/weekend before January 24th. Gives me more time though so I'll probably add in some additional fixes or updates too. This may turn out to be one hell of a patch.

...or I'll wait till the 23rd...before working on it some more. bwhahaah :P

Uhh what version, did it work in previous versions, what exactly are you talking about? What page are you on?

postracker.pos3_tower_fbstatic' doesn't existSELECT * FROM pos3_tower_fbstatic WHERE pos_race = '4' AND pos_size = '3'

#1146 - Table 'xxxxxxxx_postracker.%prefix%tower_info' doesn't exist

Have you used this before successfully or was this the first time you used the POS Tracker?
