[SOLVED] Install / Cannot login to admin / PHP ini_set
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2008 12:26 pm
Hi,
Just wanted to post this in the event it helps anybody out, as it was an odd one.
The problem seemed specific to an associate of mines local machine (BOX01).
The problem was with a local version of CMSMS, version 1.2.3 running on Windows Xp using XAMPP apache and mySql.
Everything was installed and setup fine one another machine (BOX02).
Then, using SVN the site was transferred to BOX01 and the database was copied and imported, but on trying to login to the admin panel, the passwords kept coming up with 'incorrect'.
Setting up new user accounts on BOX02 made no difference. Then, setting up a fresh CMSMS site showed the following errors:
- Checking if session.save_path is writable
- Checking if ini_set works
The problem turned out to be that he had his copy of XAMPP / apache / PHP on a different hard disk than his sites. For example, apache was running from:
'C:\XAMPP\apache\' and his CMS site was running from 'E:\www\site-name.dev\'
The simple solution was to move the site to the same drive as the apache / php install, 'C:\www\site-name.dev\'
Hope that helps save some time for anyone else.
