Can't login on admin with Zen Cart version 1.3.8a

[Victor Hopman]

Hello!

I installed the newest version of Zen Cart. But I can't login to the admin. My username and password are correct but instead of showing the admin it keeps refreshing to the login page. I found a lot of threads about this, but nothing helps.

Does anyone know how to solve this????

Thanks!

Using your FTP check your files for "0" byte size/corrupt files

Thanks for your reply! But there a no files with 0 byte size. I even uploaded al the files again. Did'nt solve it

Solved it!!!!!!!!!

If anyone else is having the same problem:

Open includes/functions/sessions.php (NOT in the admin folder)

Copy this code (found it here on the forum)

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

Search for "session_regenerate_id();". Paste the code right after that. First it did'nt work, but in the file there are 4 lines of code with "session_regenerate_id();"

Paste the code after every session_regenerate_id();.

Close your browser, empty the cache and delete cookies. Then try again

What version Zen Cart are you running and what version php that you had to touch the code?

Are you sure it wasn't just clearing your cache and cookies that fixed this?

I would like to know this too... My admin worked the first time I logged in and then it started saying my login info was wrong. I have tried to resend the password a few times, and it never works.

I have tried checking for 0 byte files, and i have looked at my config files. I would just like to know if this code way would actually help my situation.

Thanks!

Understand your frustration but piggybacking/hijacking another thread is not the way to obtain assistance nor a solution.

Keep it to one thread and add to that instead of posting to every thread you find
