Cms Login Page Stays

[koitohay]

I have been reading all the threads related to thsi CMS tutorial. I am unable to solve this problem.

I entered the correct username and pass, but i still see the login screen.

1. i see the access file in the apache log, it doesnt give any error.
2. i see the error file in apache log, nothing there.
3. i have changed the password to MD5 and i have changed the variable to super globals i.e. $_POST etc.

4. i have set my session.save_PATH = C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\tmp
5. i Can see session saved but it contains nothing inside i.e. 0 kb.

i am using PHP5, Apache 2.2, Win Xp. localhost. see my attached phpinfo and php.ini plzz

Can anybody help me with it. i stuck from last 4 days and i am gonna get crazy now. plzzzzzzzzzzzz help

And your password in the database also is encrypted with MD5 ?
As well as you have increased the size of the password storage in the database from 20 to 32 ?

How about your MySQL, is it by chance one of the relative recent versions ? and again, have you increased the size of your password storage and have re encrypted your password for this new MySQL ?

I checked it all and i did nothing wrong. Everything is correct. If i login with user: test and pass: test, i go to failed.php if i login with user: test and pass: *test, he refreshes or something, the input fields are empty and i see login.php again. SO i really don't know what it could be, hope you can help!

Well, when the code isn't buggy - and it isn't - and you didn't make any mistake, that leaves us with some sort of problem in your setup in regard to this CMS.

Have you tried to run the code under PHP 4.xx and a somewhat older version of MySQL ?, because that would give you an idea if your implementation of the code is working.

In such a situation you could resort to plaster your code with echo statements that'll tell you the actual flow in the code and the actual contents in the variables, and that again will give you a precise idea as to what the problem is.

Remember to remove all the echo statements again afterwards.

BTW:
Have you checked if the password in the database = md5('$pass') ?

Have you checked if the names you're using for your tables are the same names in the database and and in your code.

Standard names are:
cmsarticles
cmsgroups
cmssections
cmsusers

Im having the same issue.

I have dug a little and it is getting to welcome.php.


Its this line thats causing the issue.
if (!$theSentry->checkLogin(2) ){ header("Location: login.php"); die(); }

Where should I look to find the issue.

Many thanks

Check the user group that your user is in. Have a good at increasing the number or try changing your group to a lower (1) number.
