Cant access admin pages!

Hi there,

I have been using XOOPS for a year as a small intranet, everything had been working fine except today I have been unable to access the administration section.

I go to the /user.php screen, and type the username and password it says - 'thank you for logging in, admin.' but then refreshes back to the main page but not logged in.

I tried to type in the /admin.php but it then says 'you don't have the right to access this area!'.

I have tried different browsers but it doesnt work, and I have tried to login using anothers users detail but it doesnt do anything either.

I am using an old version of XOOPS (2.0.3) on a Windows 2003 server with IIS.

Is anyone able to offer suggestions for things I should try?

I really would appreciate any help - thanks!

Thanks, I have allowed all cookies but it still doesnt work.

I think it must be something else as none of my logins are working, I have tried logging in on another machine but still no luck.

Thanks for any other suggestions!

Repair the session table in your database.

Thanks,

I will try that - presumably this is done in MySQL?

Yes it is, in phpmyadmin.

Also, you will want to update all the way to 2.0.14 asap, many fixes have been applied, and some database changes. Many modules won't be compatible with a XOOPS version this old.

Just to say that the problem has been fixed,

Thanks to Bender, tripnosis and snow77. As soon as the xoops_session table was repaired the site now works great again!

Many thanks!!
