xampp: can't login. Ideas?

Hi all,

I need a few pointers please with regard to xampp and my XOOPS site. All part of my treck down the path to engeekedness

I installed xampp then copied my website files and adjusted mainfile.php to suit. Made a db no problem with phpmyadmin and imported a recent backup.

I can see the site just fine and everything is where it should be for a logged out user. Apache and MySQL must be running okay for me to get to this stage, yes?

When logging in, either as admin or a normal user, the process stalls at /user.php and doesn't redirect. I'm sure it's something trivial.

Any ideas?

templates_c & cache are empty ?
Are you sure you don't have any reference to the url of your website in your DB ?
Isn't it something like this :

Hi Hervé

Yep, cleared /cache and /templates_c

If I go to http://localhost/website/user.php it displays as expected. But logging in stops with a blank screen at that point.

I'm downloading a fresh copy of the (fully working!) "live" website and will reinstall xampp and try again tomorrow. I didn't check to see if the site was working before applying some security.

All ideas welcome, otherwise I'll try again with fresh everything.

Would this cause the blank screen?

No.
I suggest you to log the Php error, edit your php.ini and do something like this :
log_errors = On
error_log="c:/phperror.txt"

Yes - this is how xampp secures things; I'm going to uninstall/reinstall xampp tomorrow and try it in an unsecured state first.

Thanks Hervé - I'll try this if tomorrow's xampp reinstall doesn't work.
