Login impossible

Hello, today i wanted to do some changes on my gallery, but unable to login. Was checking once again (in database wa_settings) if i use the right username and password. and yes, i do. But still not able to login. No error appears, nothing. Only the admin login page reloads, that all. What's going on there? Need help urgently.

usually, when log in fails and you are using the correct username and password, it point to a problem with the servers session management.

to test your server to see if sessions are the problem, download the sessionTest.php script from the following message:
showpost.php?p=23826&postcount=2

servers session management

Hi, thank you very much for your response. I've put the test php onto the server. click onto the first link: sessionTest.php?test=test, click on the second link goes back to the main php: sessionTest.php.... something strange is going on there?!

can you post a link to the sessionTest.php page so I can test it?

3/02/2010 10:08 am | #5 alex394211

of course: sessionTest.php

Same problem

I am experiencing the same problem, can you provide a solution?
sessionTest.php

in the case of alex394211, the issue was caused by a bad httaccess rule that was causing page redirection before the login could be processed.

If you have any HTACCESS rules configured for your site, please disable them and try again.

Bad .htaccess

I've removed my htaccess file and it works! Thank you.
