Can NOT log into Administration Menu

I'm having a BIG problems with the latest vision of XOOPS that I have uploaded.

I have given it an administrator user name & PW I login with this and see the "Administrator Menu" tab. However when I click on this to enter the admin section, I get the message "I'm not authorized"

How do I rectify this problem.
Kind Regards
David

Well the good news is that there is a fix for this.

Now - please note: this hasn't been fully tested as of yet, but it should sort out the problem.

I would recommend you fully backup database & site of course before usage....

Anyway - download this file - and replace the current version of /class/xoopsform/form.php with this. You will need to right click 'save as' and select all files as the file choice in order to save it as a .php file ready to upload.

Are you running any firewall software on your machine (ZoneAlarm... etc) ? If so then you might need to add your XOOPS site to your firewall's trusted sites list.

Re: Can NOT log into Administration Menu

Thank you for that tip, I have tried that and its still the same. I want you all to be clear of the problem. I have a user name and password that I login with, then see the shot menu, I click on the "Administration Menu" tab and then I just get the message at the top of the page "You do NOT have the permission to access this page" and throws me out.

And I can NOT do anything to my site until I can access to the admin section.

PLEASE HELP.
Kind Regards
David

Could be a case of your mainfile.php has a XOOPS_URL of http://www.mydomain.com but you have mydomain.com in your browser.

Check that the URL to your site on your browser is the same as it is in mainfile.php as http://www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com is not the same address as far as cookies are concerned.

You're not using the dreaded IE7 browser are you? You do know that IE7 is one of the signs of the Apocalypse? .

Thank you, for this tip. I have downloded this file "Mainfile.php" and opened this but it's a mass of code and I do not know where spacifcly to look. Can you point me to an area or list the line of code where I can search and see if my WWW is there.
Kind Regards

// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
    // Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
    // Example: define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://localhost/xoops');
    
define('XOOPS_URL''http://www.mysite.com');

Re: Can NOT log into Administration Menu

Thank you, for pointing me in the right direction, but all seems to be correct, OR IS IT?
I have listed my examplt from my Mainfile.php.

IF this needs to be changed pls make them.

When you bring your site up in your browser do you type http://www.theeclub.com or http://theeclub.com

If you bring your site up using the URL http://theeclub.com then the login will not "stick". You will need type http://www.theeclub.com into the address bar then login.

If this doesn't work then I'm stumped. The only other course of action would be to check the validity of your XOOPS installation by running the MD5 installation checker. I haven't got the instructions for that at hand but I am sure you quickly find it using the search.

Good luck.
