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:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function...enerate-id.php

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:

Code:

---

  if(!version_compare(phpversion(),"4.3.3",">=")){
    setcookie(
        session_name(),
        session_id(),
        ini_get("session.cookie_lifetime"),
        "/"
    );
  }

You could still try it, even though your PHP version is newer than the 4.3.2 issue they mentioned.

Edit the file they mentioned:
/includes/functions/sessions.php

Find the text they mentioned:
session_regenerate_id();

Add the code they mentioned:

Code:

---

  if(!version_compare(phpversion(),"4.3.3",">=")){
    setcookie(
        session_name(),
        session_id(),
        ini_get("session.cookie_lifetime"),
        "/"
    );
  }

And clear your browser cache and cookies.

I added the third line to the config file.. NO change..

I added the code into the sessions file.. No change..

I cleared the cache and cookies.. No change..

I got all the emails form the store..

I tried it in both browsers..

Should I try a sub-domain?

Do you mind sharing the admin username/password so I can try it from here ?

I sent it in a Private Message

Are you getting just a blind refresh of the page, or a message saying "you entered the wrong username or password"?

I'm getting the wrong username/password message.

It is case sensitive.

"you entered the wrong username or password"

It should be in all lower case

Hmmm ... you *did* say that, didn't you ...

And here I was thinking you had the same thing as the others. I need more coffee.

Let's do a password-reset first:

I guess I should have said yes to this one ... because it would have forced the re-entry of a username/password :blink:

Unbelievable!!! I made the changes to the DB and it let me in.. I just double checked my config file and it shows that I was using the correct UN and PW and the right case..

Should I go back and undo the changes I made to the sessions file and delete the config file I added?

Do you have any idea why it wouldn't except my UN and PW?

Thanks for the patience and the time you spent on this...
