can you try to give us more infos ... can you for example install the XOOPS module info ?

have you the same problem on an other website ?

I should have realised - given that clicking on the administration menu item after login yields 'You don't have the right to access this area' i wouldn't be able to install the module. One of the problems is it doesn't seem to cause an error other than this message.

My suspicion is that php has been restricted in some way by the host. I've run XOOPS on three other hosts without a problem. I'm highly attached to XOOPS and decided on it a few years back after trying other CMS options. In essence I've told my host that if they can't run a XOOPS install then I'll host elsewhere. I've spent well over 14 hours trying to sort this now which even after tax equates to 6 years of hosting fees with this host that doesn't work. So really I don't want to spend more time sorting this.

I'll try installing the info module as above. It does seem to be due to the hosting environment. I've lost count of how many installs and versions I've tried. Somewhat reassuringly another user in the subject above this has been having the same problem with the same host. I've established they are not running php in safe mode but they do note that although you can write session paths that php code to check session paths have been written will not work due to their set up. I've requested a refund and plan to change host - disappointing since they offer a very good unlimited space and bandwidth package.

Yes I tried fixing the permissions on the folders several times - even 770 on all files and 777 on folders just to see if that worked. Diyroberts - what host are you with as I am in the UK as well. This problem is with the unlimited package with streamline.net.

This is the same problem I'm experiencing. I'm coming to the conclusion it has to be an environmental variable on the host. I've not used this host before for XOOPS sites and never previously had this problem. I've now tried three fresh installs of 2.0.15, one install of 2.2.3a and two installs of 2.013. Apart from one of the 2.0.13 installs which had other problems - they've all shown the same permissions error you describe. Rather bizarrely it seemed to be working ok last night (2.0.13 upgraded to 2.0.14) but reverted to the problem behaviour this morning.

I'm simply detailing this to avoid you trying multiple installs as it really isn't working.

After spending several hours on this the last few nights and seeming to solve the problem, logging on this morning I'm back to square one with the same problem of it reporting I don't have permission to view each page and logging me off to the home page. I'm debating whether to go back to 2.0.14 or to go for a 2.2 version. Since I've two other sites running 2.2 I think I'm just going to try that. Time for a wipe and install again!

Well that small change seems to have fixed that problem - only tested once so far but had the correct message.

This is occurring with my new build as well of 2.0.15. I'll try the code above.

Well the upgrade has worked - sort of. The upgrade instructions didn't seem to work, uploading the contents of htdocs overwrote mainfile.php which meant I had to go through another install process. However, the buttons on the preferences/control panel pane now work.

But user.php yields a blank page and the message received after logging in for the first time after confirming an account says you've already registered. I think I've seen something on this elsewhere on the forum though.

Ho hum, as long as it works eventually.

Ok 2.0.13.2 works and has installed fine. Question is do I feel brave enough to try and upgrade it to 2.0.15 . I guess I will since I'm a sucker for watching that slow ftp upload....

Here goes.

Nope. No difference at all. How very frustrating. I think I'm just going to wipe the site clean and the database then try a different build.
