Admin login does not work

Hello people, i know this question has been posted many times and there were several answers. I tried almost all of them but it still doesn't work:

I use a commercial webhost-server in germany running PHP Version 5.1.2. On this server i have about 4 cms-systems installed, almost all of them in different versions. As I tried to log in today i encountered the following error. I type username and password and hit the submit button. After that i simply return to the login page. No error message like wrong password or user does not exist. I read that it has something to do with session stuff from php upgrades (higher than php 4) Someone wrote to create a .htaccess file... but the description was not detailed enough so i couldn't manage that. I cannot login to any of my cms-system. One system i upgraded manually by replacing the old files with the 1.1.3.1-diff release. Does not work. If someone can explain me what the problem is and how i can fix it i would be very glad. If you need more information about the server itself.. here is the phpinfo:

http://u0049783680.user.hosting-agency.de/info.php

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

try to give more access rights on the /tmp/sess/u0049783680 folder so the webserver can write session information in it. try

Code: Select all

chmod 777 /tmp/sess/u0049783680
And see with your hosting provider how to enable PHP sessions.

Hei, are we talking about "/tmp" seen from the server's roor directory ? because if you meant that..  i will have the problem that for me it is not possible to access anything on the root level... My directory access ends in my homeshare /home/u0049783680 .... or did you mean the /tmp directory of my cms installation (think not..)

Edit: Oh ok it is this part i think: session.save_path /tmp/sess/u0049783680 /tmp
from the phpinfo()... well i am not sure if they will do anything about that.. but i will ask them..

other ideas are still welcome.. but thanks for this first aid ! :-)
