Language Default and Theme not set in Config

[jimcintosh]

I just installed Coppermine yesterday and everything seems to be running great. I changed a number of Coppermine configuration options (nothing radical, just the gallery name, gallery description and so forth). I've created and album and uploaded a photo and am very happy with the results. I have just one problem. When I go into Config as the administrator and change either the default language or theme and save the new configuration, when I go back into Config the default language is back to English and the theme is back to Classic.

In other words, if I change the gallery name and save the new configuration, when I go back into Config the new gallery name is there. If, on the other hand, I change either the default language or the theme and save the new configuration, when I go back into Config the language is back to English and the theme is back to Classic. It is as if these two options (and, from what I've seen, only these two) are not being saved by the Config program or that the Config program is overridding these two options whenever I go back into it.

Does anyone have a clue as to why Config either isn't saving these options or is reverting back from what I specified?

If you look in the manual there is a suggestion as to why this could be. Have you tried this

"Character encoding" is probably set (or has been set sometime ago) to UTF-8 on your config page.
When UTF-8 is selected, Coppermine chooses your language file based on your browser configuration and stores the value in a cookie. This overrides the value stored in the CONFIG.
To fix that:


Set "Character encoding" to Default (language file)
Then call the script with http://yoursite.com/coppermine_dir/index.php?lang=xxx (this will reset the cookie)

Reset your theme here - http://www.ofmbolivia.org/galeria/index.php?theme=xxx
Reset your language here - http://www.ofmbolivia.org/galeria/index.php?lang=xxx

Then you will see what is set in config correctly.

That did it. Thanks very much for your help!
