Can't login to admin after install

[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.

[tsw]

which warning was it?

which warning was 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.

[tsw]

check php.ini for session save path

check php.ini for session save path

http://php.net/manual/en/ref.session.ph ... .save-path

I don´t have axcess to the php.ini file on my host. How can I work around it?

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...

[RazorMedia]

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?

[RazorMedia]

That would be in the config.php file

[tmonster]

well I guess that answers the will it even work question

and the answer is no....

CMSms requires "working PHP sessions" :

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.
