Same problem here. I click the "log in" link -> log in window appears -> I enter "admin" + pw and click "log in" -> login window disappears, main window reloads but I'm nbot logged in.

1.4-pl2 installed today.

I've tried Mozilla + IE6

In my case, this is classified as a "Stupid User Error" or SUE for short. Basically in my haste to click, click, click, the popup window got thrown the back, where it suffered an IE fatal error (And hence was hidden)

As soon as I rebooted, the problem sorted itself :- )

Can't help the other guy, unless it's the same problem!

Splitting. These problems have nothing to do with each other. Kreismeister, you'll find your question in a separate thread shortly.

Hi, I also cant login with 1.4.1 Build 161. Session Test says it is all OK, numbers are increasing. I enabled full access for the site for cookies, but Gallery won't let me in. When I type in the admin credentials, after clicking OK the login windows just reloads instead of going away. Of course it clears the password field and just let the username there.

Any ideas, how to solve this problematic?

I don't know what todo. I think it must be a bug. Everything looks fine. Sessions are created in the temp directory. I can view public albums but I can't log in.

The second thing I'm wondering about is why the hell the session test only runs till the counter value is 2 and doesn't increase any more.

the session count value is a problem. it should keep increasing.

I'll see if Joyoflinux has any ideas.

I created a fresh installation for you to verify:

... could there be a firewall problem? Will will try tonight at home.

Wow, that is freaking crazy. I'd have to poke around on your system to actually see what else may be wrong...

After reading the first post here I realised I was entering "Admin" instead of "admin". Problem solved. Thank you. :)

Don't know if this will help, but I used the "test.php" page to tell me the path to "netpbm" but every time I ran the configuration script/program/page thingy, it would not be able to see it. Until...drum roll please...I changed the permissions on the netpbm directory and its contents to "755".

Do you need to change the permissions of any files or directories so they can be read?

@kreismeister

hello I am having same problem as you. After checking all recommend issues as described in FAQ Gallery:c.9 I am still not able to login. Session tests etc. - everything worked fine.

May be this is an ISP relying problem? I am using a german ISP 'puretec' (aka '1 & 1').

Any help / hints are very appreciated. Thanks!

Hi I'm also getting the same problem.

PHP 4.2.3
Gallery of 1.4-pl2

I've identified the line which is causing me the issue in login.php, and it is shown below with my extra line to prove the problem.

if (!$gallery->session->offline) {
print "<span class=error>FAILED</span><p>";
// dismissAndReload();

My changes obviously stop the form from being cleared and the page reloaded, but does prove the error.

I've created a bug report to track further investigations.
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=834879&group_id=7130&atid=107130

From a technical point I would say Gallery doesn't safe any
new values to a sessions. The session contains only the initial
values and they are not updated.

Permissions are OK.

Any ideas?

The session test only seems to work. It can create a session and read a session but it can't update the session. I don't know why but I don't believe it is a configuration issue because I double checked the FAQ and all other hints.

Joyoflinux wanted to look into the problem but it seems he doesn't have time.

same error here, but I found a workaround on IE :

IE Menu->Tools->Internet Options->Privacy Tab->Edit, in the Address of Web site box type your domain name, and then click Allow

my english is poor, sorry.

Same problems here.

I even try the session test in the diagnostic link and it works once - then it switches to page cannot be displayed.

I have tried version 1.4pl2 and then even removed that and installed the earlier version of 1.3.4 trying to revert to the last working version.

Each did the same thing.

I have looked over the FAQ's and everything is in order according to them.

Please let me know how to fix this and get this working. thanks.

NO, it's NOT the same problem. You had a cookie problem explained in the FAQ.

Kreismeister,

Gallery relies on the PHP session functions. The session_test.php uses the php functions only, and no Gallery code (except to translate the text). As the session test does not increment the counter past 2, then there is a problem with how your php installation is handling sessions.

Just to make it clear, here is session test stripped down to the essentials. If this works on your machine, then I'll reopen your bug report, but I don't believe it will. 

<?php extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
session_start();
$count =& $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["count"];
session_register("count");
if (isset($destroy)) {
    session_destroy();
    header("Location: session_test.php");
    exit;
}
$count++;
echo "views: $count<br>" ;
?>          
<a href="session_test.php?destroy=1">Start over</a>

As you can see, it just uses three php functions and the session variables.

Could you perhaps then point me in the correct direction on how to approach my host.

What exactly do I ask him to change/fix? Or at least what exactly do I ask him to look into.

Problem solved.

I upgraded to latest PHP 4.3.4 using backports for Debian Woody from moolfree.com.

# php4 and other backports from moolfree.com
deb http://debian.moolfreet.com ./

Bye,

Culprit,

Do you still have problems? Start a fresh thread, so we can see what's going on with you.
