Could somebody please help me with the problem that I when I log in and click on a menu tab (such as admim menu), I am told I need to register and log in. This happens before any page I click on can load. I know its not a session time out because im not logged in long enough for this to be an issue. Cookies are enabled, the urls are correct and I have tryed repairing and clearing my session tables in phpmyadmin.
Help much appreciated!

I looked into the issue further and understand whats happening, but don't know why. Basicly the long code after the url when logged in, (e.g http://www.yourdomain.com/admin.php?PHPSESSID=8d55a948b0b789489e)
disappears when clicking on menu tabs, so the links are taking me to the chosen page without the code saying who I am etc. I can get to admin.php by copying the code in the address bar but have found no way of getting past the "This is your first time to enter the administration section. Press the button below to proceed."
How do i fix these links to remember my login?
Hope thats enought info.
Thanks.

Not sure about Mac, but I assume it is close to the same as linux, make sure that the cache folder is writable by the server. Some setips require chmod 777 for this.

Tryed all of the above and FAQ. Did what FAQ said still with no luck. Anyone got any ideas?

could this be an issue with logging in to the site with a www. example.com address and having example.com defined as the XOOPS_URL .. So then the site wouldnt have cookies for your site.

try clicking the home button on the menu and then try logging in and going to the administration.

Tryed, but it just goes to home and im logged out. I check the urls and they are as you said they sould be without 'www'.
I just don't know what to do!

open mainfile.php and add www. to the domain name in the URL path.. then clear templates_c folder..

No change, is there anything left to try! I feel like giving up!
