Installation went fine. I run the check.php file and it all returned succesfully....but....I cant log in as Admin and see the administrative functions. It says on the right that Admin is logged in, but I am not logged in. The login box is still showing and its all very weird. I run the same installation on another machine ( I use Foxserv on both ) and its still not working. Whats the problemo? Paul

If You\'re 1.3.8 you probably need to set the cookie domain in config.php .

The port number doesn\'t belong into the cookiedomain. Remove it from there. Are you running on Apache 2 by any chance? bye, Dirk

[QUOTE BY= lean4huskytop] apache 2.0.39 Is that bad?[/QUOTE] Well, Apache 2 support for PHP is still considered experimental (or so it seems - couldn\'t find a definitive answer to that). You should at least try to update to the latest versions (Apache 2.0.47, PHP 4.3.2) - or go back to Apache 1.3.28. bye, Dirk

I highly doubt that its experimentall. I got the whole package through foxserv and its a good one. How about I try hte previous rollout of geeklog? is that one better?

[QUOTE BY= lean4huskytop] I highly doubt that its experimentall.[/QUOTE] The developers of PHP themselves are considering Apache 2 support to be experimental. At least that\'s what they said for PHP 4.2.x. As I said, I couldn\'t confirm the status for PHP 4.3.x yet. Some combinations of Apache 2/PHP seem to be working okay, while others are not (and the latter are often Windows installs). bye, Dirk

I just finished loading up Aeonserve on a spare XP box I had laying around - I use the box\'s name instead of localhost and I set the cookie domain to \'\' . Apache 2.0.41 it works fine. Try the Aeonserve install on XP - you get Apache 2.0.41, PHP 4.3.2 , MySql 4.0.14, phpMyAdmin 2.5.2rc2 , AwStats 5.6 and Geeklog 1.3.8 all in one clean install - loaded in about 10 minutes. Aeonserv is here
