in the wiki's website i found this:
I cannot login using the admin account


After installing and logging in to XOOPS in I see the login notification page and am redirected back to the login page. Trying to directly enter the /admin.php page show an restriction error.


Possible Solution
If you have PHP version 4.0.6 (or lower?) installed on your server you might find that the register_globals is turned on in the php.ini file. If you can, you should edit the php.ini file to turn it Off. Or even better use a .htaccess file to do so. Your .htaccess file should contain the following line:
php_flag register_globals off
but the problem is i can't accsses to php.ini because my website provider has that and i am using lycos server which is free , do you have any idea for editing php.ini or is there any line i should add to xoops' files to solve this problem thanks.

Create a file named .htaccess. Put the lines for Register globals and the session.cookie_path in it, save it and transfer it in the base directory of your website.

Try again.

For checking create a php-File that opens phpInfo (you will find this somewhere here) and check wether the settings really changed.

How does your .htaccess look like?
If you don´t mind, put a php file somewhere on your site that shows phpinfo and send me the link - if you want by pm.
