In case I didn't make myself clear: I installed PHP5 5.2.2 and mySQL Server 5.0 on a Windows 2000 Server that has IIS5 fully functional with PHP and mySQL. I installed zen cart 1.3.8a and the installation went through smoothly. I set up payment and shipping and email and all functions worked fine because the cart can check shipping rates on FedEx and add/update produts to the cart and recalucalte shipping fee. I receive a welcome email right after creating the user. However the problem is that the users get added to the database but the cart doesn't log the users in immediately after creating them. When I enter the email and password in the returning customers text boxes to log in, the system accepts the user name and password but doesn't generate an error and goes back to prompting the user to log in. If I click on forgot your password and enter the email address, I get informed that the new password was emailed but I never receive it. Any idea what could be happening?
