Admin logon just keeps repeating....

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?

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..

Ajeh:

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?

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

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...

Site is http://www.soaps-and-potions.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=login

Ok.. All of a sudden it seems to be working this morning...

I can logon via admin and as a local user....

Here is the .nfo you asked about...

She is a few versions behind...

Another ?....

Not a linux guru but I understand somethings...

I was not the original installer of anything so I don't know how Zencart was originally setup..

In the Cpanel when you go under Fantastico....

And click on ZenCart it says their in no installations....

Could this be because ZenCart was installed without using the Cpanel..

Which I guess isn't a problem...

Could this be because ZenCart was installed without using the Cpanel..Right - that most likely indicates that the installation was done directly, and not via fantastico ... which is likely a good thing.

Ok.. All of a sudden it seems to be working this morning...

I can logon via admin and as a local user....

So, you're saying there is no longer a problem ?

Most likely the "sudden" "break" and subsequent sudden "fix" suggests that the problem was caused by something the hosting company has been doing with your server.

Either that, or you're accessing from a browser whose cookies and cache have been cleared and thus an unexpected hiccup is cleared.

What might have been broken...

The host never really did come out and tell her what the problem was.. They just moved her directory to another server and at first it wasn't working the the DNS needed time to get updated....

I knew it wasn't the browsers.. We tried 3 different machines with two different browsers on each one....

Thanks again....

Most likely a PHP configuration problem, and most likely related to session handling.

Thanks for the reply...

Just trying to learn more about the workings of PHP and CSS...

I love the CSS concept.. Just a pain trying to get an HTML editor that I can figure out.....

I love it though.. very nice piece of software...

I'm having a similar problem on Dreamhost. Admin Logins get routed right back to the login page, as does attempting to access any page in admin.

Customers can't login either, login attempts get routed back to the home page (and login has not succeeded, they get a "log in" link, not a "log out" link.

I'd love it if things just started working, but just in case, what kind of session handling issues should I be looking for? The store has been running without a hitch for over a month now--is there some maintenance, perhaps clearing out of old sessions, that needs to take place?

Thanks for any help that's out there--we're dead in the water as it stands.

Just in case someone's out there reading this thread, the source of the problem was an upgrade to PHP 5.2, which has a bug affecting Zen Cart. There's a workaround in this thread:

Thanks for the update that the bug in php 5.2.0 was the problem ...

Im experiencing this very problem tonight. I installed zen cart from Fantastico, on my new host, and for the life of me cannot log into the admin page.

In addition, randomly, the first page will load to display the welcome screen, and then when I return to it, I see an MYSQL error:

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_SORT limit MAX_DISPLAY_UPCOMING_PRODUC' at line 7
in:
[select p.products_id, pd.products_name, products_date_available as date_expected from zen_products p, zen_products_description pd where p.products_id = pd.products_id and p.products_status = 1 and pd.language_id = '1' and p.products_date_available >=20070601 order by EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_FIELD EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_SORT limit MAX_DISPLAY_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS]

Help me, please...

Check your configuration table via phpMyAdmin and look to see if you have the configuration_keys for:
MAX_DISPLAY_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS
EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_FIELD
EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_SORT

And see what the configuration_value is set to ...

EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_FIELD is set to date_expected
EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_SORT is set to desc
MAX_DISPLAY_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS is set to 10

---

The strange thing, is that sometimes it will load the page, and display the welcome screen, other times it shoots this error message.. .

Thanks in advance for any additional insights. I had it working wonderfully the first time I installed it on another account, same server, shared ip (Roundberry). So, I ran the Fantastico install on this account, and all seemed to go well until I tried to log in to the admin. Then, the OTHER server began doing the same thing..

Scratchin' my head tonight..
