Thanks. Unfortunately that didn't do the trick. The table and the entire db checked ok. I repaired the table and the db anyway. Then made a copy of the xoops_session table and emptied it. Then I went to the site, logged in, same results... welcome screen with my login name then returned to anonymous user with no access.
I noticed in the empty session table there were now three entries. The first is presumably where I opened the site. The second has data about me in the sess_data field. The third has no data in the sess_data field and is preumably where I was booted back to anonymous user status.
Any more suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
