(server) problems logging in?

Permalink
Hi,

I've been using concrete5 on a couple of projects now and so far it's been easy and straight forward to move from local to live server.

However, on this project I'm using a windows server (Microsoft Windows 2003
IIS: Microsoft-IIS/6.0) and its been throwing up all sorts of problems.

First I had permission problems with cached files but managed to fix that. Now I am having problems signing in and out. After importing the mysql database I'm already logged in on chrome, but if I try logging in with a different browser (i.e. firefox) it just reloads the login page ( .../index.php/login/do_login/ ). Funny thing is on chrome, where I'm logged in already, i can't log out.

So I'm guessing it has something to do with writing session cookies, anyone got an idea how i fix this? Something to do with the server maybe?

Many thanks in advance,

sounds like you're having database case sensitivity issues. This may help...

Thanks for your quick reply enlil, but i don't think this is the issue.

After trying to resolve this for the last few hours i've installed a complete new version of C5 on the server and I am having the same problem - it's redirect to homepage without actually logging in.

I've checked the MySQL database and the tables are not lowercase as suggested but look exactly the same as the tables on the Apache testing server.

These guys seem to have the same problem but no answers that helped.

Any other ideas?

can you navigate to /dashboard after the redirect ? I've noticed on some of my sites the edit bar doesn't appear on the homepage after logging in

thanks for the tip. I doesn't quite work but I did notice that I can login from ../index.php/dashboard instead. That's good enough for me for now.

But if anyone knows why this is happing I would really appreciate tho know what the problem is.

Cheers
