Yes I have made sure that it;s all the same http://www.theeclub.com in the address bar as it is in the "Mainfile"

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

I first login here http://www.theeclub.com/index.php

add the Administrator username and PW

I then get the following AFTER I have loged in where I see the "Administrator Menu" tab

http://www.theeclub.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=0d895dc04083f5954af3cbc462dbd043

When i click on the admin tab, which has a url of "http://www.theeclub.com/admin.php"

this then throws me out.

Q: could the problem be in the "admin.php" file?
