Wow! After reading 3 pages of posts, you mysteriously solved the problem. Please, do tell. Even if it was silly, We need to know. Thanks.

I want to second the opnion of UteWebMonkey, that this is a MAJOR issue with Xoops. The problem with the XOOPS blocking people using Norton Internet Security is that it will turn away too many people. And UteWebMonkey's right in that asking them to change their firewall settings is annoying and complex enough that many new visitors will just go away.

There is a ray of hope. Even with my Norton firewall on its usual high blocking setting, I could get into www.xoopsgallery.org with no problem. Hence, there must be a way to set up XOOPS to avoid the problem.

Ok, now I have to turn off my Norton firewall again, in order to post this.

-------------------

I came back to let you know that I tried turning off "block referrer" in the Norton firewall as suggested by Ackbarr. That worked.

Then, I went to the URL reference by Ackbarr. It shows you how to turn off check referrer in Xoops, itself. That's a good thing.

I note that when I first tried to use www.xoops.org that I could not even register for several days. It was only because I really needed forum information in order to use Xoops, that I kept trying until I discovered the firewall problem. Recreational site visitors just would not bother.

I had the same problem Re: "This is your first time to enter the administration section." loop.

I first solved it by turning off Norton Internet Security firewall on my personal computer. Normally, I have it set on "block everything until you approve it." After, turning it off, I could get into my XOOPS administration with no problem using Firefox browser.

I have noticed that I cannot log into this forum or other XOOPS powered forums unless I turn off my firewall. I can't even post to the forums with the firewall on.

With the firewall on, I could get into my XOOPS adminstration section using IE6.

IE6 and Firefox don't allow exactly similar cookie setting and restrictions, even though I've tried to set them similarly. So, mabye it's a cookie thing.

Anyway, turning off the Norton firewall worked. I will note that I'm still running the Windows XP firewall underneath the Norton firewall. With Norton firewall off and Windows firewall on, I have no problem entering any of the XOOPS forums or my own XOOPS administration.

Note: Windows firewall filters and blocks things comming into my computer. Norton firewall filters and blocks things going in both directions. That seems to be the difference with how the firewalls interfer with Xoops.

Solution for PHP5:

in xcgal/admin/searchnew.php
replace scandir with xcscandir. It occurs in 4 instances on that page. PHP5 uses xcscandir instead of scandir.

The solution for me was to enable:
register_long_arrays = On
in php.ini.

Thanks

I've reinstalled everything (Apache, PHP, MySql, Xoops, xcGallery)a couple of times since my last post.

When I try to create a category, no category is created. A popup window asks if it's ok to proceed. I click ok. Then an error message appears at the top of the window:
"Script called without the required parameter(s)"

At the bottom of the windows, Debug says:
Debug Info
USER:

I've had the same problem during XOOPS install and configuration:
Could not connect to the database server.

I started using PHP5, Apache 2, MySql 4, XOOPS 2.0.9.2. and had no problems with Xoops. But, then I had problems getting xcGallery and XoopsGallery to work, so I downgraded PHP to PHP4.
PHP4 immediately manifested the "Could not connect to the database server" error from Xoops. So you can fix that error by going to PHP5. (Note: MySql is built into PHP4, but in PHP5 you must activate it. See
http://www.thriftyplaces.com/html/php_ini.html)
So, you can fix the database connection problem by going to PHP5, but then PHP5 might cause problems with other modules.
I, too, am still looking for the fix to make XOOPS connect to the database using PHP4.

Cannot Create Category in xcGallery

I installed xcGallery in Xoops. I have created the default groups. But, I cannot create a category. In xcgal/category manager, when I hit "create/update category," the screen will blink and then come back with no change and no new category.

With xcGallery 1.1 installed, whenever I tried to create a category, I received the message:
"Script called without the required parameter(s)"

Then, I installed xcGallery 1.1 Hack 1.2.
(https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1817).
Now, when I try to create a category, there is no new category and no error message.

I saw a forum in Xoops.org that said if you use PHP5, then replace all scandir with xcscandir in the admin/searchnew.php page in xcGallery.
(https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/print.php?form=1&topic_id=26201&forum=28)
I did that, but I still cannot create a category.

----------------------
Software:
Firefox 1.0.1 or IE6
Windows XP Home Edition SP2
Apache 2.0.53
PHP 5.0.3
Xoops 2.0.9.2
xcGallery 1.1 Hack 1.2
MySql 4.1.11-nt
Hacks: In xcgal/admin/searchnew.php, I have replaced scandir with xcscandir for PHP5
-------------------------------

As you can see, I've been reading forums galore, but no result yet.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

The answer is in xcgallery readme file.
When debug is turned on, it's normal to produce messages. Normally, don't worry about debug messages unless they say something like error or warning.
