Can't login to admin

Yes, undo all the coding changes I had suggested.

The admin username/password is the information you selected for the Admin account during installation ... on the last page of the zc_install process.

They are *not* the same as what's in your configure.php files (well, unless you used that information there too, which I don't recommend).

You had entered "denny" and some password ... that's what you should use to login to the admin.

Thanks again,

I have no idea where I entered "Denny" as a UN... I owe you big time for the help today..

Go get your coffee...

Thanks

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"),
        "/"
    );
  }

Thanks very much for posting this fix re PHP-4.3.2
:hug:

Hi,
Well I'm having exactly the same problem logging in, so I installed the clear cache thing & used it several times, but still can't log in using firefox - my prefered browser.
Just to make sure, I tried Internet Explorer for the first time in months, & that works fine!
I also tried creating an account as a customer through Firefox & that worked fine.
What on earth is going on?
This is a new install of 3.8, which worked fine including the login, then putting in a copy of my current database after dropping the tables of the install d/b.
That's when the problems started.
This has happened to me before when trying to update on a practice shop just to make sure I didn't stuff up a live one.!
Thought I kept doing something wrong until I found this string
My php is an old one: 2.11.1 with mysql 4.1.22.
Apache server: Unitedhosting.co.uk
Hope someone can help
Regards

Um ... what?
Are you *sure* that's your PHP version?

Hi, I'm new to the forum so hello to everyone. :clap:

I've just done a test install of zen cart via the fantastico automatic install section of my hostgator account (running php v 4.4.7). The version of Zen it installs is 1.3.7.1 which I now know to be an old version - however it will probably suffice for now.....

Unfortunately I'm having exactly the same admin log in problem as the other posters on this topic, i.e I can't access the admin section. When I log in it just refreshes the admin log in page with cleared input boxes. If I type in the wrong user name or password, I get the same result - no error messages.

I've tried a lot of the fixes described here but I'm merrily getting lost in the myriad of solutions offered - none of which seem to work. I've done several reinstalls but I get the same result :frusty:. Is there any one solution which seems to be successful in the majority of cases

ok... uopdate... I bit the bullet and installed the 8a version. Dream of an installation so I vebtured to the admin panel and ebtered my user name and pw. First hic-up, it said I'd got the wong password, so i asked for a reset and put the new password in . Voila!! it worked.. so filled with confidence I changed my password and logged out to see if the log in would work. Guess what? same old problem came back... help

latest.... admin opens fine with firefox... not so IE. It's a start, but there are times I'l need IE.

Is it possible that your browser cache/cookies needs to be emptied?

or... IE is remembering an old password?
