OK, running CPG 1.4.3 as an upgrade from 1.3.2. All new 1.4.3 files copied and overwrote 1.3.2, no mods!
I just spent about 2 hours reading all the posts about the "Warning your browser does not accept script's cookies" and "You don't have permission to access this page" issues and still no luck being able to login properly as a user or manage the gallery as admin.
I "seem" to log in correctly as I receive the "Welcome username ..." message, but then I am taken back to the index.php page as a guest with no admin access!!!!
Same thing happends with any standard user login. (they do not gain access to private albums and stay as guest)
Tried the following with no success:
* checked the password encryption settings through phpMyAdmin - verified it's set to 0 and passwords are NOT encrypted
* checked the config.inc.php file for correct settings as well as no spaces after ?>
* tried both Firefox 1.5.0.1 & IE 6.0.2900 SP2 on TWO separate machines while ensuring that cookies are fully accepted
* tested another upgraded site from my machine and that one also runs cpg143, but I can log in just fine there so it cannot be a browser problem.
* re-copied ALL the cpg143 files
* made sure there are no mods installed (except the 1.4.3 security update)
* ran "update.php" multiple times and got the same combination of "OK" and "Already Done" with no errors
* cookie path variable in config table was always set to "/"
* cookie name variable in config table was always set to "cpg143" (even tried changing it after purging cookies from both browsers and still no luck)
* server/machine time difference not an issue as alternate cpg143 site that functions is on the same server
* i get no errors in any files (except for the red "Warning your browser does not accept script's cookies" warning on login page of course)
I am at a total loss!!! PLEASE HELP!
BTW, any way NOT to use these blasted cookies and exclusively use session ID's like phpBB does?
