Admin logon just keeps repeating....

[dbunch]

I am not able to logon to my current Zencart admin...

I type in my logon and password and its almost like doing a screen refresh....


Also I just noticed in fantastico....


When I click on zencart under fantastico it says that their is no current installation....


But when I go to my website it shows up....

But I can't add anything to the shopping cart....


Like it is not communicating with the database...




Not sure which way to go.....

Is this a new install or one that you have had for some time?

Has anything changed on your server? Upgrades of php or something along that line?

Have you made any recent changes to your site?

[dbunch]

I am trying to help someone out with this...


The zen cart has been up and running successfully for over a year...

Thanks for the response...

I am not sure what version of zencart is being run.. It is not 1.3.7

The owner thinks it is 1.3.1...

They have not done anything to their current database or PHP...

But the host may have..

If you edit the file:
/admin/includes/configure.php

And set the following to false:

  define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true'); 

Can you now get in?

If so, can you check the Tools ... Server Info ... and post everything from below the menu bar up to and including the large:
PHP version blah blah

[dbunch]

Its amazing what one letter can do...

Are you telling me to set it to false...

If so I tried that and still no dice..

Here is a copy of the confgure.php

Also.. I was focusing on getting logged on to the admin section...

Decided to create my own user logon account to test the shopping cart..

It created a new account and sent me an email

But the user logon does the same as the admin logon...

When I enter my email and password for the logon it seems to work at first..
and takes me back to the catalog home page as if I didnt even logon.. With no errors...
