Login problem.

A member at my site reported logging in and getting the "success" page. Redirects to home page, but is logged back out again.

Having tried various tests, i have noticed it appears to be present either using Internet Explorer and/or Vista (IE doesn't display the site properly anyhow!).

Any suggestions?

i think its a cookie problem. delete the cookie and the cache and repeat the login.

tried that and didnt work. still appears to be specific to internet explorer and/or windows vista. a 2nd person is having the same problem, and i have tried on my laptop using vista - it failed for me on that using firefox.

works ok for me and 3 others using firefox and windows xp pro.

starting to sound like a compatabilty problem.

this has now become urgent!!!

ive went back to the old pc thats using firefox and windows xp and can no longer login on that either.

That's now 3 ppl - including me - the webmaster.

seems like theres a bug in the site itself.

just tried by requestin password - also doesnt work!

now even more urgent - no one can login at all we're all gettin the same problem

bugs ahoy!!

::EDIT::
i changed a line in the sessions.php file from false to true:
Quote:
var $enableRegenerateId = true;

What does this part do? It appears to ahve fixed the problem, but have i just done something risky?

No, it makes your system even more secure (at the cost of some processing power).
I assume it is off by default, while not all servers/PHP versions can handle it well.

Did you try the same modification (Changing $enableRegenerateId /kernel/sessions.php from false to true)?

I've had the same issue before. Someone suggested me to use custom session and the problem will be disappeared.

To use custom session go to System »» Preferences Main »» General Settings and select "yes" to "use custom session " (use firefox to log in to adminstration area)
