really I don't understand the reason / just 1 week before (for almost 6 months) all worked good and now....

yes, it is 0

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.

hello

did you remember if this was enabled earlier?

Pappnase wrote:did you remember if this was enabled earlier?

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.

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 ...

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...

I have changed session.use_trans_sid to 1 in the php.ini file BUT it still not working!! I can not login !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi mdgroot
tried from Belgium, I'm using Firefox 1.0 (en version) and tried with Explorer, same problem.
with demo/demo
Happens as you said, logging in OK but when you click you're thrown out.
Strange.
