Repeating/circular login?

Post by Dittohead »

I just installed phpwcms on my 5 day trial server (it took me 4 tries to get it installed), everything works just peachy until we get to the login screen. I put in the user name and password for my user, and click login. It refreshes the page, shows that I am indeed logged in ("logged in users"-list, lists my user name), but it still is on the same "please login page".

What should I do?

If I insert my username/passwd again and click login, I get this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/account/public_html/phpwcms/include/inc_conf/conf.inc.php:72) in /home/account/public_html/phpwcms/login.php on line 128

I get this regardless of whether it says I'm logged in:

Because something about your configuration setup is not correct... it fails to complete the login process and has to refresh the screen by sending a header directive and when it DOES... this "interruption" of the login process causes THAT message.

hello

no wonder that you get errors!
cos when i call you index.php i get following errors
Warning: main(/home/hometown/public_html/phpwcms/include/inc_conf/conf.pagelayout.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/account/public_html/phpwcms/include/inc_front/content.func.inc.php on line 131

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/home/hometown/public_html/phpwcms/include/inc_conf/conf.pagelayout.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/account/public_html/phpwcms/include/inc_front/content.func.inc.php on line 131
so first we need to fiy our pathproblem!

http://hometownhosting.net/~account/document_root.php provides some insight into some of the pathes. Does my problem come from the fact that the server's default "document_root" is /home/hometown and the actaul physical document root is /home/account?

This accounts for the "FALSE (not existing)" errors I got on all the directories when I installed it. After some searching the forums I found out that if I set the document_root in the conf.inc.php that Iit would work, but since the installer doesn't check (to my knowledge) that particular setting in and existing conf.inc.php I couldn't get an abosulute idea on whether it could find those dirs.

To say the least I'm rather lost. Maybe it would be much easier if I just purchased a domain and a month's worth of service from the company.

Thanks for the help, I think this is what I'm going to do. I'll be back in a few days if I don't get it to work on it's own domain.

hello
first... yes it would be easier if you would have an real own domain. :wink:

and the problem with the path it that you have an ~domain. cos you have two different pathes. did you have there an own server!? cos you say in an other thread that you have set this session.use_trans_sid = 1

I edited .htaccess and added

Code: Select all

php_flag session.use_trans_sid 1
I'm planning on buying it all today sometime. And I would probably install it to the base url, like http://www.dittobox.net/
