Can't login to admin

[yellow1912]

DrByte, this call appears twice in that file, should I add the code fix after both places?

I have the same problem. After I install the zen card, I try to log in, it says wrong passwords or user name, then I ask for resent password. I have wait for a few hours, still didn't get a new password.
Do you have a way to reset password or other better way? I really don't want to re-install the card.
Thanks

i m having the same problem.

actually, 2 problems.

1. session.auto_start() enabled problem..
- i still cannot fix it ..and dunno what to do and how to disable it
2. admin log in problem
- i m using the latest zen version and hosting server uses PHP ver 4.4.2 but cannot log in to admin

it worked fine for the 1st day and the next day session auto start problem occurred and now i found that i cannot log in to admin too.

i attached the phpinfo

Found my problem....

Basically, add this directly after the call to session_regenerate_id() in includes/functions/sessions.php

There are actually 2 calls to session_regenerate_id()

beerdawgs post states you need to make the changes after the call in the zen_session_recreate() function, I'd missed that part and made the changes after the first session_regenerate_id() I'd found which was in the other function.

Works like a charm now, thanks.

Can someone please post the full file with the fix inserted.

I have tried doing it myself but it's not working, because I think I'm putting it in the wrong place.

I searched the file for session_regenerate_id() and it appears 3 times in the sessions.php file and I just shoved the code directly under each entry.

Was that the correct place to insert it, or did I just it up again?

Just because you found this post does not mean it applies to your situation.

What version of Zen, PHP, MySQL, etc would be helpful. New installation, happened all of a sudden, etc.?

Tried the tutorial for resetting password?

I can login to the admin area but as soon as I click on any link in the admin area it boots me out back to the login page. Which to me screams session issue.

All was working until my hosting company installed patches to everything I'm assuming.

It's a fresh install.

My version details are:
Zen - 1.3.8a
Apache 2.0.63
PHP - 5.2.6
MySQL - 5.0.51a-community

When I installed Zen all the server settings where correct (All green ticks)

If you don't have something strange in your .htaccess file, I'd be speaking with the host.

If testing in IE ... could you test in FireFox?

Have you ever logged into the Zen Cart Admin without looping out after the first click?

If you close your browser window(s) and clear your cookies for your site, does it work now?

I have contacted my host and they said they could login fine so I tried again and it worked... for half a day before it stopped working again.

I have tried clearing everything from my browsers and it still didn't work.

I have tried it in the latest versions of Firefox, IE & Chrome and none of them work.

Does anyone else have any other ideas or am I just ?
