Can't login to admin after install

Post by glennmurdoch »

Just installed CMSMS 1.0.2, using PHP 4.4.2 and MySQL 4.0.27-standard.

When I try and login I get an Username or password incorrect, even though I'm using the name and password that was emailed from the setup.

Help!!

I have the same problem.
The login name and password provided in the confirmation mail doesn´t work.

I got a warning during the installation that login to the admin panel might be a problem, but I didn´t get a suggestion how to fix it. ???

Checking if session.save_path is writable
Your session.save_path is "/tmp". Not having this as writable may make logins to the Admin Panel not work. You may want to look into making this path writable if you have trouble logging into the Admin Panel.

I have set the permission of /tmp to 777, but it still won´t work.

so is there no answer for this?

I'm having the same issue, and if there's no work around I need to find another content management system...

I let my host set ini_set() to true (or something like that, i don´t remember really).

Or try another host before you work with another CMS.

tech support for my host told me I needed to plug in this piece of code for sessions

session_save_path("/home/users/web///cgi-bin/tmp");
session_start();

any idea where to implement this?
or will this even work?

CMSms requires "working PHP sessions" :
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... quirements
All good hosting providers do this. All PHP login related software requires it. For one of mine, I had to create a 777 /sessions folder at the root of the hosting. May be 775 could do it to.
