no login possible. browser does not accept cookies

[pipa]

We just started installing cpg1.5.20 on a lamp with Cpanel and PHP5.4.10 / Apache 2.2.23 My SQL 5.1.65-cll

When we log in as administrator we have for some seconds the next screen 'proceed', but after some seconds the loginscreen starts up again.

We have following errors:

1. The loginscreen shows in red colours: "Warning your browser does not accept script's cookies" (same message in IE or Firefox). See also http://coppermine3.edugo.be/galerij/
2. A lot of messages appear:  the list gives:

3. in our other Coppermine v1.4.20 (juin 2010) We even had the same error "Warning your browser does not accept script's cookies" since our server PHP was just upgraded from 4.* to PHP5.4.10
Her we have the same problem: login shows some seconds the proceed screen after login, and jumps again to the initial start-up loginscreen.
So our dozens of teachers can't publish anymore, see also http://coppermine2.edugo.be/fotoalbum/login.php?referer=index.php

Please can  someone reach the golden hint? We searched ourselvses already for 2 full days..
Thanks! webmaster at edugo . be

First thing you need to do is switch off the strict error reporting as that is what is causing the display of all your error messages. They are meant for developers to help them future proof the code. In later yet to be released versions of php things that are mentioned as warnings in this version will fail as php commands are updated or removed. It will not cause any problems at the moment, but will come the release of php 6.

Ok Phill,  in our WHM 11.34.0  , in  the PHP Configuration Editor we switched the following command 'off' instead of 'on': Display_errors   (means:This determines whether errors should be printed to the screen as part of the output or if they should be hidden from the user.)

In the most recent version cpg1.5.20 we don't see anymore  errors and the red 'browser does not accept cookies' message is not seen anymore.
Now we can go on further, we could log in now! And we appreciate the nice lay-out! We can start the new one testing.
error 1: solved
error 2: solved

error 3: about the earlier version of Coppermine v1.4.20 (juin 2010): no luck here, and we can't log in yet. Any idea?
We even had the same error "Warning your browser does not accept script's cookies" since our server PHP was just upgraded from 4.* to PHP5.4.10
Here we have the same problem: login shows some seconds the proceed screen after login, and jumps again to the initial start-up loginscreen.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Was this a fresh instal of 1.5.x or did you upgrade from an earlier version?

[pipa]

That 'old' Coppermine itself was a fresh install Coppermine v1.4.20 (juin 2010) and worked fine on PHP4.3 . This Coppermine has not been upgraded. We only can 'view' the images,with no possibliity to login anymore.
Blocking of the login started  since we changed -this week- on the server from PHP4.3 to PHP5.4.10.

Both versions are running on the same server in  different accounts.

Thanks
Pipa

And yes the new Coppermine we just started installing cpg1.5.20 on a lamp with Cpanel and PHP5.4.10 / Apache 2.2.23 My SQL 5.1.65-cll - which works now- was a fresh install.

So the best option would be to now upgrade your old 1.4.20 gallery. No need to logon to do that.

Thanks for the quick and nice help Phill! The coppermine1.5.20 works very smoothly.

Best wishes to all helpdeskguys (and girls) for a happy 2013.
