I recently updated to v2 and installed Secret Crushes pepper. I decided that it was kinda redundant with nametags, and unistalled it. Ever since, all my ip addresses for session view and xxx strong mint display as 0.0.0.0.
Anyone else run into this?
ip in session viewer, xxx strong mint now showing as 0.0.0.0
This is the strangest thing. I have mint installed on two different domains and two different servers, and now the other server is showing the same behaviour, except I never installed/uninstalled Secret Crushes. I guess I can rule that out.
Something is going on with my two separate accounts. Perhaps the way I updated?
I’ve got 0.0.0.0 listed as the incoming IP for every visit since I installed….
and no clue to the problem.
I uninstalled and then reistalled XXX Strong Mint and that seems to have taken care of the 0.0.0.0 issue for me.
Same thing happened to me. I usually ignore my own hits, but I used a different browser, which didn’t have that cookie setting yet after the install.
BTW, it seems like the checkbox option to ignore my own access is only available at the Mint install phase (and not upgrade or first time use from another machine). This leads to at least one hit and session being logged the first time around.
Even if I don’t hit the site running the Mint JavaScript include, an access to Mint itsself is logged, although I’m not using the auto_prepend_file option. I’m guessing Mint itsself has a built in attempt at logging access to itself.
I tried to uninstall/reinstall but that didn’t seem to work for me. I can safely say that I did the update to v2, and started recieving valid ip addresses for a few hours. Then all of a sudden (without any change), they started turning into 0.0.0.0.
I had the same thing going for a while. But then I cleared cache, and it all seems to work fine now. Weird, huh?
I did try that, but no dice, even tried a different browser.
If that worked for you though, I’m guessing it has nothing to do with updating third party peppers for v2, which is what I suspected.
I’m having this exact same issue as well. Uninstalled/reinstalled XXX Strong Mint, cache was also cleared.

I think it’s just something with the way the database info is being interpreted. If you look at the database entries, the xxx_ip and xxx_hostnames columns are still showing with valid info, but Mint outputs it as 0.0.0.0.
It’s not just xxx strong mint, it’s Session Tracker as well.
In the v2 specs, Shaun notes: “Mint no longer tracks ips by default, Secret Crush takes ownership of the ip_long column and responsiblity for tracking it”.
When I open the source of xxx strong mint, it appears to be using this column a lot, so perhaps this has something to do with it, although it doesn’t explain how the people above got it to work.
If only the source code wasn’t over my head, I could try to hack a fix.
I’d just like to confirm that my fresh install of Mint 2.0 and Session Tracker .96 is doing the same thing. All IPs record as 0.0.0.0
Is there any hope of this being resolved with a Mint 2.01 update? (I’m new to Mint, so unfamiliar with how responsive the developer/community is to this sort of thing). Thanks for any info.
I installed Shaun’s Secret Crush and it also reports all IP Addresses as 0.0.0.0
Bug or do I have something misconfigured? Thanks!
Secret Crush is also reporting 0.0.0.0, however db is still collecting data properly.
Don’t understand all of this, but I logged-out of Mint and back in again. Now both Crushes and Session Tracker are reporting ALL IP Addresses as the server address (the one that Mint is installed on) instead of 0.0.0.0.
Does that shed any light?
Not sure if it matters, but I’m running Mint on OS X Server (Tiger Server) with PHP 5.2 (entropy.ch), Apache/1.3.33, MySQL 4.1.13a
Thanks!
This is rather unfortunate because all attempts on my part have yielded no results. For second day all hits are in a single 0.0.0.0 entry.
I tried a secret crush install, logout, clear cache, and log back in. This worked for me. However, I uninstalled secret crush, and I started getting 0.0.0.0 again. I believe that we need secret crush installed for 3rd party peppers that track ip to work. I’m waiting now to see if this fix will “stick”.
Any Pepper that requires the ip_long column in the mint_visit table will not function in Mint 2 without Secret Crush installed (or until they update their Pepper to record ips to their own custom column). Session Tracker and XXX Strong Mint are both affected by this. You will also experience this problem if you have either Pepper installed before upgrading then install and uninstall the Secret Crush Pepper.
If Secret Crush doesn’t interest you but one of the other does, keep it installed but disable the Crushes pane in your Preferences until your favorite Pepper is updated.
Also, once that column is removed I’m sorry to say there’s no way to get those ips back.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and suggestion Shaun. I’ve done exactly as you said and installed Secret Crush but disabled it. IP addresses continue to be valid.
Here’s hoping for Session Tracker and XXX Strong mint updates.
Just thought I would share a hopeful note. Beau Collins had not planned to update Session Tracker, but has been “enticed” to check out Mint 2.0. He says:
“I’m going to do some hacking about today and I’ll let you know if I can’t squeeze a quick fix in to get ST working with Mint 2.
I also remember a Pepper called PathStats (http://jehiah.cz/projects/pathstats) I don’t know anything about the development status of that pepper.”
Here’s hoping it isn’t a difficult fix for him! (hope hope!)
I will be working on an update for Session Tracker when I get a Mint 2 license.
As of yet I haven’t researched what will be required. I imagine I will be getting IP data from the Secret Crush pepper. Hopefully this will also allow you to see name of of your Secret Crush as the session label as well as all sessions for a particular crush.
I’m planning to do a complete rewrite to get some performance improvements in there as well.
I can’t guarantee anything when it comes to Download Counter and Outclicks integration.
I appreciate Beau being interested in rewriting the Session Tracker Pepper (when he gets his Mint 2 license).
However, the problem remains (at least for me) that Secret Crush isn’t working properly BY ITSELF. I get all visitors appearing to be from the same IP address (the server IP for the machine that Mint is installed on). Shouldn’t that be working correctly (unless I have some other config problem?)
Cheeky, is your server behind a proxy by any chance?
