Some servers do not work well as a subdomain ...
Have you tried installing Zen Cart as a subdirectory instead?
Trying it now, thanks for the tip.
Bah! It didn't work.
Thanks for your help anyway
Below is the new config file. I think it's all ok.
This is actually one of a few problems I'm having using PHP 4.3.2, so I'm looking into a new hosting provider that provides the latest PHP.

It seems that logging into the admin pages with zen-cart-1.3.7.1 using PHP-4.3.2 is broken. After entering the correct login/passwd, it will just return back to the login page.
The issue has to do with the call to session_regenerate_id() from zen_session_recreate() in includes/functions/sessions.php (which is called from admin/login.php).
According to the php documentation for php, "Version 4.3.3: Since then, if session cookies are enabled, use of session_regenerate_id() will also submit a new session cookie with the new session id." See the documentation here:
That means that 4.3.2 does not submit a new session cookie with the new session id.
The fix provided by buraks78 in the comments in the link above seems to address the issue and fix the zen-cart login to the admin page.
Basically, add this directly after the call to session_regenerate_id() in includes/functions/sessions.php:
Herb.Code:if(!version_compare(phpversion(),"4.3.3",">=")){
setcookie(
session_name(),
session_id(),
ini_get("session.cookie_lifetime"),
"/"
);
}

BRAVO!
I have edited my configure.php file so that it uses a subdomain instead of my orignal configuration.

Now, when I try to log into admin using firefox, it doesn't give me bad user/pass message, but simply leaves me at the log in screen.
When I log in with IE it takes me into the admin area - no prob. It has the correct urls for all links and everything (http://shop.skeg-protector.com/admin/blah).
Any ideas as to why it would work with IE and not Firefox?
Thanks,
Paul
OK....
I had to restart firefox and bang-o it works again.
sorry about that.
