Actually the problem isn't with installing, it's with logging in AFTER installing. The session id is changing upon redirection to the admin directory.

I couldn't find this issue addressed anywhere in the forums so am posting it.

On my laptop I've got PHP5 running and found the install went just fine – but logging in presented an entirely different set of issues. The PHPSESSID value changes when I click the "Administration menu" link. It just redirects me to the redirect page saying, "You do not have access...blah blah blah" and redirects me back to the index.php page, asking me to log in.

I've read somewhere about how PHP5 loses/changes the sessionid when you redirect WITHOUT explicitely specifying the current session. This user in the PHP.net forum indicates something about calling session_write_close() before redirecting.

Is there a plan to fix this?
