loggin in/logging out

[girlongixxer]

Question....I am in my gallery as admin.  I want to log out of the admin and log in as a regular user.  I click on logout(admin) and it takes me to the screen that says bye bye admin.....and then I hit continue.  I'm still logged in as admin.  Does this sound familar to anyone?

The login/logout routine is cookie based, so check to make sure you are accepting cookies.  If you are, and the problem persists, delete the Coppermine cookies and see if the problem returns.

I have the same problem. Of course I have cookies allowed. I log out and next time I start my browser I am still logged in. Crazy!

Why would I have to delete the Coppermine cookies? Aren't they reset automatically with every login/logout?

Try changing your cookie name....perhaps you have installed previous versions, and the old cookie name is causing problems?  Also be sure to flush all your cache and cookies from your browser, close all browser windows, and possible even reboot(if running under a M$ OS)

The following comment is not really meant towards anyone in this thread, but all these cookie problems amaze me....I have never ever had any problems with a cookie in my entire life.  I wonder what it is that I am not doing that 90% of the browsing world seems to do on a regular basis?

What are your browsers' make and model?

This could happen if the cookie was not being modified at logout.

I use both IE6 and Mozilla 1.4. Even if I force refresh the server's cache with Mozilla I appear as logged in next time I open the browser. That's like the next day. I shut down my computer daily.

I have IE6.  I was able to clear the cookies but now when I try to register as a new user as someone else, it tells me the registration email cannot be sent.

Yes, did you configure the email functions yet? They have to be configured by hand.

[girlongixxer]

I am not quite sure I follow you on that.  Where is this 'email function' located?  Config?

It should be located in include/mailer.inc.php

You'd have to edit the smtp host - although in saying that, you didn't have to do it with ver 1.1.

$CONFIG['smtp_host'] = '';
$CONFIG['smtp_username'] = '';
$CONFIG['smtp_password'] = '';

Just the first should suffice as long as you have valid access to it. Otherwise fill in the username and password.

When updating from CPG1.1 to CPG 1.2 it appears that the cookie version was not updated as its name is still 'cpg11d'

I don't know why, but that didn't help.  I changed my smtp host to what it is for the email I use, plus I added the user name and pw.
