Need Help!

Hello,

i've just installed xoops2 on my webspace

Now i'm logged in. I clicked on Administration Menu.
"This is your first time to enter the administration section. Press the button below to proceed." I clicked on Submit (I think it's right ;) ) Then "Logging you in...".
But then there'll be the same window as the first.
"This is your first time to enter the administration section. Press the button below to proceed."

Any ideas?

(Sorry for my bad english >] )

Maybe it has something to do with the permissions of the directories.
Check this first please (xoops_root/cache directory should be set to 777)

I don't think you should post your Admin password like that. There are a lot of well meaning people here, but this is a public forum. It is a security risk to your site.

You can try to send a PM to the person if you want to send something sensitive.

I think it is a firewall problem. Are you using a firewall to access your site? Try searching forums for 'firewall'.

I accessed your site with the password you posted. This was the message I encountered in the Admin Control Panel:

WARNING: Directory /home/www/web32/html/clanspace/install/ exists on your server.
Please remove this directory for security reasons.

WARNING: File /home/www/web32/html/clanspace/mainfile.php is writeable by the server.
Please change the permission of this file for security reasons.
in Unix (444), in Win32 (read-only)


I changed site name and installed the News module just to check the admin functions. Aside from the warning I posted above, your site seems to be working fine.

Check if you have a firewall. Go and change your password for security reasons.

Merry Christmas!

Oh great THX ;)

I'm using the Norton Personal Firewall :)

Merry Christmas too

Yup, XOOPS has a problem with Norton Personal Firewall (along with other sites ). Just do a search and look for the solution. I know it has something to do with HTTP referrers.

Good luck and enjoy XOOPS!

You should switch to McAfee's Firewall, I use it and I have no problem accessing XOOPS sites. Plus it protects my computer like it should.

I should have known that it was the firewall, sorry.
I use Zone Alarm (free edition) and have no probs, but I noticed that some users had problems to register, so I will include this information in my info for users to be.
