Admin Login loop after server move

**klittl06** · 08-08-2007, 10:01 AM

Hi all,

I have been searching for a few hours and am still coming up empty. All help is appreciated.

I just moved to a new server and everything is running, except that for when I try to login it just reloads the login screen. At first I thought I did not have the correct user\pass but I am getting to errors and its driving me crazy.

I have gone through the configure files over and over, what am I missing?

Thanks for you time, Kyle

It is a sessions problem. To resolve, edit your configure.php files to store the sessions in mysql. Edit both configure.php files to do this.

Change this line :

PHP Code:

  define('STORE_SESSIONS', '');

to this:

PHP Code:

  define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

Thanks for the quick response, but I actually already had it set that way.

I deleted both .htpasswds directory and .htaccess in the admin folder and I am still prompted for authentication. Shouldn't it be unsecure now? How get I make unsecured?

Is it the apache server authentication box or is it the osCommerce php login?

Its a pop-up box, how would I go about disabling this?

Contact your host. If you actually removed the .htaccess file, there is no way it would ask for authentication. I suspect it is still there.

I'll contact them. I deleted it several times, using the File Manager in CPanel, I also tried adding and deleting users in the CPanel password protected directories thing. It almost like its hardcoded somewhere.

Did you manually install it? If you deleted it several times and it keeps re-appearing, then you never actually deleted it.

Use FTP, not the cpanel file manager.
