Problems with admin login

[qex]

Greetings

I recently installed oscmax2_RC3_0_1 on my host.
Everything went fine except admin area.

I searched through forum and found this thread with same problem
Well crap... admin login not allowing login-no errors

Before i uploaded the oscmax to host i changed some files according to this guide here ( because my host's settings are: register_globals "off" ) :

osCommerce SEO - Running osCommerce with Register Globals Off - Magic SEO URL - Search Engine Optimization

What the problem is that i still can't log in to admin area after applied those tips from the threads above.

I tested everything on my local mashine with php 5.2.1, mysql 4.1.7, apache 2.2 on WinXP pro with NO PROBLEMS.

My host is running on Linux with php4.4.7, mysql 4.1.22- standard-log, apache 1.3.37 and the result is I CAN'T LOGIN.

I searched through Google with no success and i start to be frustrated.

Any suggestion would be nice and helpful.

Thank's

I had exactly the same problem.
Go to catalog->admin->includes->functions->sessions.php

Find:

function tep_session_register($variable) {

$_SESSION[$variable] = null;

}

Replace with:

function tep_session_register($variable) {

global $$variable;

$_SESSION[$variable] = $$variable;

}

If that raises any other issues please post as we both have the same circumstances and can help each other to find potential problems using that mod.
