Re: Unable to log in following installation
by jerjoe on 2010/2/15 14:22:33

Resolved!

I was opening the program as:
http://mycomputername/mysite
and got the errors described above.

I finally started using:
http://localhost/mysite

and it works fine.

Still not sure why this made a difference, but all is now working.

Thanks again help...

The permissions are the same for all folders on the problem machine.

I had set debug on (at least I think think this is correct) by using:
UPDATE x889_config SET conf_value=1 WHERE conf_name = 'debug_mode'

I can see the errors (0) and all the queries as shown in my initial post.

Is this the debug, or is there another setting?

I also set PHP to create an error log, but that has been clean since resolving problems in the php.ini file.

Thanks again for the assistance!

I have the impression you are talking and comparing two machines, but not too clear to me what is what.

The file is created at the first access of the admin.php If it is not created, but in other folders, there are files created, maybe there is a difference in the permissions.

Try to put debug on to see any messages.

Ghia,

Thanks for your suggesions. I am new to IIS 7.5 (my new notebook is a month old and my first experience with 64-bit problems). In IIS 7.5, there is no IUSR account, but rather "application pools" - one for .ASP and one for "default". Each of this has either "integrated" or "classic" security. I have tried both security choices, restarting IIS between changes, with no help.

I have followed instructions found via google searches for setting up PHP 5.2 with IIS 7.5, and it does work... I can see phpinfo.php, for example and I can make it through the install process.

I do have current entries in xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache, which tells me it is writeable. In xoops_data/caches/xoops_cache, I see only index.php while in my old XP machine, I see "xoops_adminmenu_XoopsGuiDefault.php". Any idea when in the install process this gets created? I have tried to re-install staring with a fresh copy of htdocs; when I do this, at the end it tells me a can view and configure my home page, but am directed to the standard login page (blank middle panel), showing my title at the top. When I log in, it indicates "welcome" rather than "invalid login", but still returns me to the same login screen.

I am unclear if this is a problem with not configuring IIS 7.5 correctly or not. I think all the mainpage.php settings are OK...

Any further suggestions or ideas to investigate or resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Write permissions set in both places to everyone.
Not sure, but I don't think 'everyone' does include the 'IIS user'.

One possible cause, could be that you don't have sessions activated, altough I doubt that, cause the install procedure was finished. (I know of some servers, that require to create a directory and write permissions for it to enable sessions. Don't know things for IIS - PHP)

Search once for IIS here on the forum. There may some helpful pointers.
