getting kicked out of admin

[dorothai]

Hi there,
each time I clicked a button in the backend right after installation -> I was re-directed to the login page. When I tried some hours later - I could access Module, Admin etc. but still see only the login screen when clicking save new template or adding an e-mail address to the mail section.
Really funny.
I am running PHP5.2.2 - Apache 2.0.54 and MySql 5 on localhost. All files are shared in Windows XP Professional - additional .htaccess file is in place to make the files writable. I have activated in php.ini error message handling and logs - no error messages are generated - no errors in logs. Oeps.., nice and clean code.
Installation went really smooth - compared to other CMS which don't seem to deliver more benefits than this one - it is really light as a breeze and very flexible - - well, if we could use it, it would be worth a donation...
Any idea?
Cheers Dorothai

sound like you have no session running very well. Hard to say what's wrong with you local PHP/MySQL.

If it's just a local test server use XAMMP http://www.apachefriends.org

Yes session is running because when i click the back button i am back to where I was - fields are still prefilled.

I checked my sessions are stored in ./ additionally there seems to be a session log which is pretty filled up by now.
So sessions are existing - but somehow the changes to the files or new files are not added.
If you need the phpinfo.php let me know or my php.ini settings.
The system is not reporting any errors.
I had also session.use_trans_sid set to 1 to check if session is there and yes they displayed in the address bar. I set if off again because this could lead to security issues in a real environment online.
The table _userlog is filled with the logged details of Webmaster admin.

We have three hosting servers n Switzerland and USA. So it's a developing environment with authentic web server settings and infrastructure - no surprises when developing locally and then loading up are the benefit. We develop also modules for existing packages - so XAMP may be useful for out of the box but not for a real developing test environment.

I also run ZenCart and other applications on local host -> no problems at all with those.

Cheers,

for me it still sounds like not well configured PHP and/or MySQL.

I have tested install on so many different systems - Windows AND *NIX. No problems at all. So really. Maybe - check if you are running MySQL in Strict mode.

XAMMP is very well configured. And what is so bad on Out-Of-The-Box system. You can configure it like you wish but you can be sure it is running by default.

I will do that and check MySql ini file

I am also installing it now directly on the web server - already uploading
