To clarify.. that is what I have EXCEPT where it says "mydomain" is actually my domain and "user" is actually the real user name.

If you are using Safari 5.0.3 on a Mac or Windows, but not using Zen Cart v1.3.9h... you will not be able to login to admin. There is no problem with any combination of earlier versions of Safari and/or earlier versions of Zen Cart. This is a problem with Safari 5.0.3 I have just gone through and finally figured out. This may not apply to your situation but I've not seen any mention in this thread of specifically using Safari and wanted to share.

I am on a Mac, but I am using Firefox. But it seems to be the same issue...

I am running parallels on my Mac, and I opened IE on the Windows side, and I was able to login! :clap:

So... if I upgrade to 1.3.9h this will eliminate the login problem from my Mac/Firefox? Sounds good to me... just a little nervous about manually upping to 1.3.9h worried I will f something up. :(

In any case, thanks for your help... time to back up the site and do some damage. :flex:

I am having a similar issue. I have just finished installing an upgrade from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9h. The only plugin I have working is Ultimate SEO. At first everything seemed to look fine but customers were unable to login to the shopping cart. I searched the boards for help and found that going into the admin and turning "recreate sessions" to false, customers could then log in and make purchases no problem. However, now that the store is working properly, I tried to access my admin and can't even make it to the login page.

I am using Firefox 3.6.12 and the error I get is
"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

I also cannot access it in safari or IE on PC. I have cleared cookies and cache, and I can also accept cookies. I have tried modifying the .htaccess file in the root and even adding one in the admin folder as per a board suggestion (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=778358), however still no luck.

I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you!

Might post your admin configure.php file contents

X- Out the renamed admin folder, DB name, user, and password entries

Kobra,

I also get this error in my debug log from the website.

Read through post #6 on this thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153143

Ajeh,

Thank you for your suggestion. I realized that the version of php I was using was php4 and not php5. I went into my host settings and upgraded my madewithlovebyjm.com domain to php5. I ran

<?php phpinfo() ?>

to determine that I am now running 5.2.14 (which is higher than 5.2.3) and therefor should not have an admin login issue. But alas, no dice and I am still getting the same error.

Thank you for your suggestion, and any other help would be greatly appreciated.

I still cannot reach my admin, and this is causing a problem with my live shop. I just realized that my customers are getting the generic zen cart banner when they make a purchase. This is unacceptable, so I tried to reinstate the old 1.3.8 shop, but it does not work (probably due to upgrading the php from 4 to 5). Do I downgrade to php4 and put the 1.3.8 shop up? If so, then I will have new customers that will not be in the old database. I would appreciate any advice, because this is a really big problem.

Thank you very much.

The only plugin I have working is Ultimate SEO

If by that you mean Ultimate SEO URLs and you are hosted on a cPanel server then try this.

In the .htaccess file that comes with Ultimate SEO URls change these lines:

Code:

---

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

---

to these lines:

Code:

---

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.shtml$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

---

Can you get in now?
