What I would try to do:

Search all files for this funny words to get an idea.

It must be somewhere...

I had the same problem and solved it. In https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17690&forum=4&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=20
I subsumed all possible solutions I picked up on the way...

Good luck

Try the troubleshoting section in the wiki on this page.

How does your .htaccess look like?
If you don´t mind, put a php file somewhere on your site that shows phpinfo and send me the link - if you want by pm.

Carsten

Create a file named .htaccess. Put the lines for Register globals and the session.cookie_path in it, save it and transfer it in the base directory of your website.

Try again.

For checking create a php-File that opens phpInfo (you will find this somewhere here) and check wether the settings really changed.

Hi all,

I solved my problem and I want to subsume all the ideas I got from the community - my be it helps someone else.

The problem was:
after login I got the message "Thank you..." what ment the password was OK. But I was redirected to the login page.

My solution with the help of an experienced coder was:
In the PHP.INI of my provider the setting of session.cookie_path was set to /tmp instead of /. I had to enter the line:

php_value session.cookie_path /

in a .htaccess file in the root path - that solved it.

But there were also following suggestions, that had solved the problem on other sites:

The acceptance of cookies is switched off in the browser:
Check your browser or use another computer. Try to login in another XOOPS page to check.

The provider uses a proxy and you do not get a "fresh" page:
Try another provider. Reload after some hours.

The cookie is wrong:
Compare the PHPSESSID value in the cookie with the one in the database table "sessions".

The database table "sessions" is corrupted. Check the database and drop and reinstall the table by using:

CREATE TABLE xoops_session (
sess_id varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
sess_updated int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
sess_ip varchar(15) NOT NULL default '',
sess_data text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (sess_id),
KEY updated (sess_updated)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

The user name of the database contained a "_" what can lead to misunderstandings:
Change the user name.

Register_Globals is set to on or the safe_mode is on:
Change it to Off

Thats all - may be it helps!

so long

Carsten

Is it possible / normal that in one page different values for PHPSESSID appear. See https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17763&forum=1&post_id=75685#forumpost75685 for the details. I just want to know, if I am searching at the right place...

Carsten

It seem to be a not very common problem and from my impression it also has to do with the provider in a way I don´t know. Probably two or more things have to act together to produce the problem.

Obviously up to now no one on this site has a real good idea - so lets try to find out as much as possible.

So could you please have a look at the source code of your main page if there are different PHPSESSID´s and if there are *not* different PHPSESSID´s on the other pages?

Please compare it with the contents of your last cookie:

Is the PHPSESSID the same?

Best regards

Carsten

I have a simular problem. Please read:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17763&post_id=74970&order=0&viewmode=flat&pid=0&forum=1#forumpost74970

I am interested, whether you also have different PHPSESSID´s in the source of your page. Just to varify, whether this is an indicator of the problem.

I am not a PHP freak, but my idea at the moment is, that for some unknown reasons different moduls or blocks or whatever produce diffent PHP session ID´s - so the login fail, because the ID differs from the ID in the cookie - but it is just an idea now!

Comments?

Regards

Carsten

One more hint:

I deleted my coolies, to check, wether new cookie were written. And I really get a new cookie with the phpsessionid. But nor login..

So I checked the sourcecode of the page and I got the following lines:

<!-- Start center-center blocks loop -->
<div style="padding: 5px;">
<fieldset><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="a6c48ab8f21f2db82dbe9e8584d978b1" /><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="a6c48ab8f21f2db82dbe9e8584d978b1" /><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="a6c48ab8f21f2db82dbe9e8584d978b1" /><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="810600e713374aceaccbd196def73e0d" /><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="810600e713374aceaccbd196def73e0d" /><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="810600e713374aceaccbd196def73e0d" /><input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="810600e713374aceaccbd196def73e0d" />
<legend class="blockTitle">Registrieren zum Sommerfest in Frauenhagen</legend>
<div class="blockContent">Diese ...

...</div>
</fieldset>

With multiple *and* different outputs of "PHPSESSID", wether in XOOPS sites without this problem the "PHPSESSID" is all along the source of one page the same.

May be this is the reason - but what todo??
