What happens when you try to register as new user?

I also manually edited the config table so I could enable debugging. There are no errors reported, but also there are no SQL UPDATES when things are changed.

No user is added.

Without php or Apache error logs generated during installation, there is no way to rule out a PHP or server related problem which it sounds like you are having. Are you hosting this on your own machine or with a hosting service?

Do you have another script of some sort you can install using the same DB to test if it too has similar problem writing to your database? Go to hotscipts.com and try a free one.

Lastly, any runonce php script lines in a php file or the template you are using that is configured for script (stats etc.) that no longer exists?

Just for test purposes, can you try to install the beta version of XOOPS 2.5.6, and see if there is any difference?

You'll need 7zip to uncompress the file

There is nothing in the apache error log. There is no errors reported by the debug in xoops. The installation program wrote to the database and every time I try to login, it writes a new session record. Also the installation program write all the configuration records.

The only thing that I could find odd is a record in the access_log of Apache 2.

::1 - - [06/Feb/2013:16:29:59 -0400] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache/2.2.12 (Linux/SUSE) (internal dummy connection)"
::1 - - [06/Feb/2013:16:30:00 -0400] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache/2.2.12 (Linux/SUSE) (internal dummy connection)"

This installation is a new one with nothing added.

I hope you don't mind that I would like to try and get a non-beta version working.

Sure, but that's exactly why I said for "testing"
If one version installs and the other doesn't, it helps us to figure out what is going on.

If there are no errors, and you just cannot install it, it's like driving in the dark. We need more information...

Im sure it is something that block your local access.
try another pc if you can.

Hi,

I was on vacation, so I haven't had time to do anymore testing.

Today I:

Deleted everything and started again. I installed a clean version of 2.5.5. I still have the problem where the admin account cannot change anything. A couple of observations.

If I try to login and don't have the Remember me checked I cannot login from the "Login" block. If it is checked, I login no problem.

It looks like xoops doesn't see me (admin) as someone who can change settings. For example, if I try and delete a banner, it goes through all the steps and I can see all the queries in the debug. There is no delete. If I login to mysql as the user that is in the secure.php file, I can delete the record with no problems. So there isn't a permission problem with mySQL. Since I never see a DELETE query failure or even a DELETE, it is like it never happens. And I see INSERTS and UPDATES to protector and banner tables.

I have tried this on three computers with different browsers and everything works the same way.

I want to use XOOPS as I have been using it for years, but I am getting frustrated that I can't install this version. This isn't the first time I have installed XOOPS. And the install says that I have all the requirements and passed all the tests.

I am using SUSE 11 SP2 with mySQL 5.0.98 and PHP 5.3.8
