No admin menu

[apathys]

I go to my coppermine gallery
I am already logged in
but no admin menu
http://www.apathysecstasy.com/coppermine/index.php

I login and it logs me says 'welcome admin' continue
and it brings me right back to the same page.
no admin menu.
I have my permissions set as directed to 777, tried 755 same results.
I have version 1.3
Please help
Thank you

I suspect you aren't actually logged in, otherwise you would have an admin menu.  Send me a PM with your admin username/password so I can check it out.

[apathys]

okay thank you
just did

The cookie appears to be set correctly.  Have you done any modifications to Coppermine?

This seems to be the same problem as in this post.

[apathys]

no followed the instructions to a 't'
I looked at that other post too
still stumped

You may be missing the admin group from your groups table. That would cause you to not be recognised. Browse your cpg_groups table with phpmyadmin and verify it has 4 groups defined.

[apathys]

this is what I have in my phpmyadmin

bdweb319966_coppermine
   cpg133_albums
   cpg133_banned
   cpg133_categories
   cpg133_comments
   cpg133_config
   cpg133_ecards
   cpg133_exif
   cpg133_filetypes
   cpg133_pictures
   cpg133_temp_data
   cpg133_usergroups
   cpg133_users
   cpg133_votes

and when I click on usergroups I get this

is that right?

That's the structure, but does the table have any data in it?  Click browse.

[apathys]

here  you go

clicked on browse

Hmm, that's not the problem then.

[apathys]

also
when I go to http://www.apathysecstasy.com/coppermine/config.php
after I have logged in as admin
it says 'you are not allowed to access this page"
I tried renaming the config.php to something else besides config and still get
the same error message??
thanks for trying to help
I have never had this happen before.

[kegobeer]

That's because you are not logged in, even though the cookie appears to be set.  When did this start happening?  Have you done any modifications to your files?

[apathys]

this happened from the get go
no havent done anything to the files
except changing the name of the config.php file to change.php to see if
I could access it, then I changed it back to config.php
when I click on login , it accepts my username/password and then it says 'welcome admin" and then the continute button appears below
that 'continue"
where it brings be to that screen with no admin menu

Just thought you might like to know I have exactly the same problem so I am interested in the solution to this as well.......

[kegobeer]

This is probably related to how the server is set up.  I can't replicate this issue on my test box or my hosted site.  I suggest telling your host about the cookie problem and see if they have any recommendations.

You can also post a link to a phpinfo file.

What is phpinfo?

@neilh: 1.4.x is unsupported, and this thread deals with 1.3.x.

[neilh]

I assumed that as it had been released into the wild you would be interested in reports!

[apathys]

and from my webhosts
" We are contacting you in regards to your recent support request, Ticket #100468.  It appears that this issue is a scripting problem."

[Nibbler]

If you are happy to PM me ftp details for your gallery I can take a closer look for you.

[apathys]

okay thank you
just did

[Nibbler]

Ok, the problem is that for some reason your server only lets you set one cookie at once. Coppermine uses several cookies, and only the first ever got set. I've merged the pass and uid cookies into a new single cookie and restricted the use of the data cookie to non login related pages so it doesn't block the login cookie. This means that login now works but there may be some side effects.
