Cannot sign-in with shared SSL and 1and1

[rayw1679]

Converted my store to 1.5.1 because my server (1and1) is dropping support on 4/1/13 for anything older than PHP 5.4. It is currently running PHP 5.2.17.

When I forced my server to PHP 5.4, I could not sign-in to admin. It kept going back to the sign-in screen. I promptly switched back to 5.2.17 and it worked. Assistance greatly appreciated, as I don't want to have to switch servers.

Does this solve it for you? http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...72#post1174872

Thank you for your prompt response, DrByte. I apologize that I forgot to check the logs for an error -- I'm still learning.

Your solution scares me, but I'll give it a try (or ask 1and1 if there's a way to change the length), but would you please look at my error and see if you still think that's the case? It is a different error from the one in the referral post, and I don't get any errors on my screen -- it just loops back into sign-in:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /.../store/includes/functions/password_funcs.php on line 102

Also, does anyone know of an editor that will display the line number? If I counted properly, line 102 is a comment, so I obviously don't know if it counts blank lines, etc.

Thank you, kobra. You are always helpful, and never condescending. I didn't see anything in the code I could figure out, but at least I know where line 102 is now. I don't read PHP, but this is how I figured out about the #1 admin having to sign-in to make superusers on my other problem. Sometimes I get lucky.

In what way is that file different from original Zen Cart code, and why?

[rayw1679]

Thank you for responding, DrByte. Winmerge says it's identical to what I originally downloaded. The code is:

  // MS-Windows platform?
  if (@class_exists('COM'))
  {
    // http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa388176(VS.85).aspx
    try
    {
      $CAPI_Util = new COM('CAPICOM.Utilities.1');
      $entropy .= $CAPI_Util->GetRandom(16, 0);

      if ($entropy)
      {
        $entropy = md5($entropy, TRUE);
        //echo "USING WINDOWS" . "<br>";
      }
    } catch (Exception $ex)
    {
      // echo 'Exception: ' . $ex->getMessage();
    }
  } 

According to Notepad++, line 102 is the left bracket under "try". I'm sorry, I read several languages, but PHP isn't one of them. I don't mind trying what you suggested earlier, I just want to make sure it matches the error, as I get nervous when modifying the database.

Sorry, this was another duplicate. I hit "quick reply" and get duplicate entries. I don't know why.

[DrByte]

No PHP error there. Not sure why it's throwing an error, unless the file is damaged.

When you're using PHP 5.4, what is your PHP configuration setting for each of these?
- session.hash_bits_per_character
- session.hash_function

[rayw1679]

5.4.11 is the same as 5.2.17:

session.hash_bits_per_character are 4 for local and master
session.hash_function are 0 for both
