This 'login' problem has arisen again in a slightly different set of circumstances.
Due to a server failure I had to restore a backup of our perfectly working XOOPS site.
The new server had the same software configuration, php compiled the same way.
When I login as admin the opening page acknowledges that I am logged in and displays the link to Admin Menu etc , HOWEVER, when I click on the Admin link the error 'You don't have permission to access this area' appears and then returns me to the previous page where I am no longer logged in... BUT in the 'users online' list it still shows me as logged in.
So I cannot get to the Sys Admin section, nor can any user login and post to the forum etc because of the same issue.
I have manually used php and MySQL debug via changing the value in db via phpmyadmin, I have checked the permissions of all relevant directories but cannot resolve the problem.
I have scoured the forums for a solution but only find a couple of unanswered queries similar to this.
Can anyone point to any posts/threads where this may have been resolved or suggest any other items to check prior to starting over and remaking the whole site?
Many thanks..
