I have a curious problem, I open my site (still building) and attempt to login with my admin user and pass.
Then I get the white page thnking me for successfully logging in, etc. All normal so far.
Then we return to the standard index page as an anonymous guest. Not as admin.

ANYone with any clues? I'd very much appreciate some help

cheers

Have you got a firewall running? If so, please add your site to the trusted sites and make sure that it allows HTTP Header information being sent and recieved.

hhmm ok, but i did just move to this host.
Tho we did do something yesterday, i added -fla filter to cuteFTP and got the host bloke to remove a folder i couldnt delete (not in XOOPS tho).
So i wonder if there was something else there that was altered , i best get onto him, eh?

None that I know of, mithy. I do think its a host problem.
just gotta wait for him to come online so I can get him onto it.
But i appreciate yours and other offers of advice, might help him sort it faster too maybe?
IF it isnt a XOOPS problem, that is. hehe

cheers

Righto,
Ive had the host-bloke have a looki and all is ok there.
We have determined it must be a script problem do with sessions?
even when we register a new user, still no access at all
all are ketp anonymous even tho the script recognises the user at login.

weird

So is there a backdoor way i can get in, to see if its my groups access thingy or not? bloody hope so.

cheers

What browser are you using. as the same can apply here with http referers for example Opera you can turn referers off, which isn't good for XOOPS sites.

Have you got a link to that site so some one else can try and reg a account?

Just a thought.

As you'll notice, there are an awful lot of XOOPS sites running without this problem... xoops.org being an example itself. So is it really realistic to call it a script problem? Therefore, I would seriously consider the possibility that your host does not know too much about what he / she is talking about. From the way you are talking, it is pretty much a one man band, possibly a third party reseller, who has very little experience or knowledge.

My bet is that there are issues with the way the php.ini is setup, maybe the php modules that are, or are not installed on the host, or memory restrictions on running scripts.

Have you tried logging in multiple times? When I had the problem on my previous host, I found that four or five login attempts would let me in, believe it or not!
