could it be that the zour host disable this?

Code: Select all

session.use_trans_sid

please look into your info.php.

I belong to a portal forum where users have recently been reporting problems after their host has upgraded to PHP 5. With that particular application, the issue is that 'register_long_arrays' is phased out in PHP 5. Unfortunately this is needed to make the portal run!. Some hosts re-enabled it. Some didn't.

Many hosts will make the switch this year. I think some input is needed from Oliver about how (or if) upgrades of MySQL (3.3 to 4.0) and PHP (4 to 5) will affect current installations of PHPWCMS.

Also, if the 'session.use_trans_id' is a *system requirement* this should be made clear somewhere on the PHPWCMS website so people can check their hosts' setup before trying to install.

no, I was not checked it because it hosting global settings...

This is very strange. I mean ALL other php scripts (like this forum!) with login function are still working without any problems!

I think something wrong in the phpWCMS, may be bug.

Peekay · Post by **Peekay** » Wed 19. Jan 2005, 00:49

This setting is *off* (session.use_trans_sid = 0) by default in PHP Version 4.3.4 and above. So your host has probably upgraded, or re-installed their PHP and failed to re-set it.

Or they have turned it off deliberately.

If Pappnase is correct

PHPWCMS would never have worked at all up to now. So I would email your host and ask them to turn it back on. They may have just forgotten about it.

If they say they have turned it off for (sigh) 'security' reasons or some rubbish about search engines - I would change host.

Well, it is strange. I have exactly the same problem.
Login is not working anymore. I have changed nothing.

See thread http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5149

sometimes, when I delete all my sessionfiles, I can login, but only once. After that, the same problem again.

btw; You can try it on my site to see what's happening.
Sometimes you can login, but ony click something and you are thrown out again ...

http://www.arcarion.com/cms/login.php
login: demo
pass: demo

Ah, and I have also PHP-Nuke (sorry..

) installed, and that's working fine. Also I have installed a forum and there I can also login fine...
