FELogin problems with IE

[kalilj]

I'm having some trouble getting the FELogin to work with IE7. (I have the most recent version of phpwcms)

I have a temp account set up at the moment which I use for testing. It has front end and back end access and when I login through FireFox the site will reload the page and give you a 'welcome back' message and show the 'hidden' files.

With IE7 though I put in the username and password and click login but it just reloads the login page and not the welcome back message. I'm presuming that I need to change something in my config file but I don't know what. (The config file is already set up to allow sessions - which is why logging in on Firefox isn't a problem)

Can anyone help?

[update]

isn't this writing session COOKIES too? Did you enable cookies in IE7?

[kalilj]

Yes. I've tried it with Netscape as well as Firefox now with no problems. I hate IE so much, and wish more people would dump it and get something else.

The only way I can get it to work on IE is to put the website address in as an allowed site in the cookie section of 'internet options'. Unfortunately this option isn't available to people using public computers (such as libraries, work, colleges etc) as it's usually disabled by the system administrator for security reasons.

I've just tried it with IE7 - it is working quite normal...
Did you really set the

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['SESSION_FEinit']    = 1; // set 1 to enable sessions in frontend, 0 to disable sessions in frontend 

additionally perhaps

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['Login_IPcheck']    = 1; 

in conf.inc.php?
What is the name and text of the cookies you are getting?

So many questions, such few answers ...
