Cannot get into admin mode

[jlahm]

I installed coppermine 1.3.2 on my PC running XP Pro/Apache 2/PHP 4.2.2/MySQL 3.23.39. The installation went smoothly, but although I can login as admin, I never see the Admin Mode menu. It does not appear that cookies are being set for the userid and password, although it is set for the data cookie. I changed my cookie settings to allow all cookies with no impact. I have the same problem in Firefox and IE6.0. Any ideas?  :-\\

Thanks everyone.  ---Jim

When you are 'logged in' can you see the log out link?

Casper: No, I do not see a <Logout> option. Also, I installed my Apache/PHP/MySQL setup with Foxserv. I notice another new thread on the same topic where they'd used Foxserv, but I don't know if that fact is a "red herring" or not. I don't understand why it cannot set the _user and _pass cookies when it can set the _data cookie.

Thanks for your help!

as far as I can remember there have been cookie/authentification issues with FoxServe reported in the past, please do a search on this board.

GauGau: Yes, I've already searched for foxserv. There were several references to problems with foxserv and authentication, but no details and no resolution. In fact, several posts seemed to imply that one shouldn't use foxserv but to use Apache instead (when foxserv is siimply a collection of Apache/MySQL/PHP/Perll/Python).

What is most confusing is why the cpg132_data cookie is set just fine, but the cpg132_user and cpg132_pass cookies (whose setcookie commands in PHP are almost identical) are not set. The setcookie commands return true (success), but the cookies don't make it to the browser.

Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated.
