Geeklog Forums

Hi, all- Just installed Geeklog today. Everything seemed to go well. However, when I got my site up and running, I tried to log in as admin, and this is what happened: It accepts the password all right. I can see Admin logged in on the user list. But I\'m not Admin. I\'m still a guest. Then, when I try to add a user, It freezes on the enter name/e-mail address page and just loads forever. Please tell me this is a common problem with an easy fix. Running on Mac OS X, default Apache install, PHP 4.3.2, MySQL 4.0.13

Standard checklist:

• Does the browser accept cookie?
• Do you have register_globals=on?
• You may need to set the $_CONF[\'cookiedomain\'] variable

Also, if you\'re using your Mac\'s Rendezvous name (e.g. mymac.local) in the URL, you may need to switch to localhost or 127.0.0.1. bye, Dirk

Thanks, Dirk... it was definitely the version of Safari I was using that was keeping me from being able to log-in and create a user. Unfortunately, a new problem has popped up: new users don\'t receive their confirmation e-mails. Any ideas on how to get that working? Anthony

Do you have sendmail running? If not, there are gazillions of tutorials how to get that running on MacOS X ... bye, Dirk

Hey, Dirk. Thanks for your fast replies. I\'ve enabled sendmail using sendmail Enabler 1.1.2, and I still get the hang on register. Are there specific options for Sendmail that I have to enable through the command line?

Make sure sendmail is really running (try ps -ax | grep sendmail in the Terminal). And no, there aren\'t any specific options you need to set. I haven\'t tried sendmail Enabler yet - I usually follow one of the tutorials (btw, you will have to re-enable sendmail after almost every system update). bye, Dirk
