Title: No login after installation
Post by: massoth on January 10, 2005, 07:54:37 am

Hello everyone,

after copying ListMail on a Windows-System (tried on Win2000-Server with IIS5 and WinXP with IIS5.1), setting recommended directory permissions and creating an empty mySQL-Database, I started the System with several Browsers (IE and Firefox).
On the first systemstart the mySQL-Tables were created and I was asked to enter the Configuration-Menu. A click on the "Configuration"-Button was answered with a HTML-Site "You must login". Doing so I can read "Admin logged in, proceed." for about 2 or 3 seconds - and then I am logged out again.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Make sure you are on a recent version of PHP as older versions do not support the login mechanism used.  Also, you may want to try clearing your browser cookies and trying again.

Hello Dean,

thanks for your fast reply.

I upgraded from PHP 4.3.4 to 4.3.10 - but the problem remains the same.

Are any SESSION-related settings in PHP.INI necessary?
Anything known about special IIS-settings?

With the latest version (v1.77b, available from the members area), SESSIONS are no longer used because they are error prone.  We now use a cookie that doesn't expire until you close your browser.  Do you have the latest files?

Cookies need to be enabled in PHP.INI and in your browser.  If you have turned up the "Internet Zone Security" feature of Internet Explorer it could be blocking the cookie.

Hello Dean,

I messed around with the PHP.INI with no success.
So I started another try:
I wrote two PHP-Files. In the first file I set a Cookie, in the second I read this Cookie - this works fine.

I am a little confused.

Thanks for any help

I think I forgot to post, that I only installed ListMail v1.77b

I'm not sure what's happening here.  Did you try clearing your cookies entirely?

Yes, I cleared all cookies.
Visiting this forum brought up the corresponding cookie, also the two cookie-test-pages on the local webserver created their cookie.

Of course, you can obviously use cookies if you are logged-in to the forum. :D

I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working for you.  If you like, set up a Tech Support request of the type Other / Bug Investigation and I will take a hands-on look and do some troubleshooting.

Hello Dean,

thanks for your offer for a Tech Supprt request.
The Servers are not reachable via the Internet. Will it help to send you the php.ini?

Sure, let me see your PHP.INI.  You can post it here if you like (omitting sensitive information, of course), or, you can use the contact form.

Title: SAME problem HERE...
Post by: arc1x on August 05, 2005, 12:09:56 am

Hi,

I've installed the system for a client on their site, but as soon as I Login via Install. The system gives an error at line # 1095 of editconfig.php which just happens to be attempting to set the cookie, THEN the database table creations ALL work OK, but THEN attempting to go to the configuration section to complete the system config, I get TWO errors at lines #22 & 23 in the Login.php file where it AGAIN is attempting to set a cookie, and THEN in lines #56 & 57..... ALL of these lines are where it's attempting to execute the setcookie function. The same thing happens if I try to MANUALLY set the admin password, and THEN attempt to login. I get a page which SAYS I'm logged in, proceed for a few seconds, THEN I get the login page page again??? Please reply either HERE or to <edit>

Thanks,

Paul
