This is my first post here so please be kind?

I installed version 1.3.9h my machine Windows XP local host. I created a template and made some modifications to tables and pages as well as created new pages.

Pretty much got the cart to work to a point of demoing it to my partners.

I have a windows hosting account on godaddy.com. I *did not* use godaddy's installer, but instead created my own database and installed ZenCart manually. Then I used Navicat for MySQL to perform structure and data synchronization on godaddy.com (I used "allow remote admin"). So far so good. I verified that the test data I used on my localhost was indeed in the godaddy database.

Then I uploaded all my changes to godaddy. Then checked out the live/test site. Every change I made was there. Style sheets, pages, colors & customization.

Now that bad part. When I try to login to ZenCart with the user and password (verified in Admin that the user is there) as I do on localhost, no login occurs and I'm returned to the ZenCart home page.

So, I go to "forget" password and have a new one sent. Same problem. It's as if I'm not really connected to the database, but the problem with that is I can see the products that were sync'd from my localhost and see the users in the Admin console.

Lastly I went to create a brand new login and although it seemed to have created it, the final confirmation page showed no primary address and I was returned to the ZenCart main page. I verified in the Admin console that the user was created. But when I tried to log in same problem as above.

I'm new to ZenCart but stumped none the less.
