Now, this is getting interesting and I am very curious...
Does your problem (not being able to enter the adminarea but always getting that message "this is the first time blbla..") looks like the problem as mentioned within this topic?

Whatever I tried (and that was a lot!) nothing seemed to solve this issue. I ended up (still busy) with reinstalling a totally new XOOPS and entering all the content again. Even a drop of the backupped DB brought me back to the same problems.
What the reason of this suddenly occured problem was,..this is still a big riddle.
