Here was my fix after dinking with this for about 10 hours.

I modified my \includes\mambo.php

on line 12 I added:

session_save_path("/my/path/web/tmp/php-ses");

This was my clue:

I've got the loop problem with Firefox but I'm fine with IE6, getting into the admin control panel with no problem.

Firefox is my browser of choice so any suggestions on what to change, in the browser settings presumably, would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If it's a browser issue I expect you have denied all cookies in your FF

Thanks for getting back to me.

That's what i thought but I have the settings on accept cookies normally in Firefox.

Maybe it's not a browser issue - but that I have no probs in IE...??

-----------------------------

Thought it might be an idea to shut down FF & restart it & it worked. Don't understand it but not complaining.

Thanks for your help.

did you always have it to accept all cookies?
It defaults to ask you...if you had clicked on deny it might remember that setting even after you allow the cookies again...

Other than that I can't imagine why it would work in IE and not FF...

This may help if you are using Mambo 4.5.2 on PHP < 4.2.

In file <mambo-dir>/administrator/index.php about line 80 they have this

Code:

$_SESSION["session_id"] = $session_id;

$_SESSION["session_user_id"] = $my->id;

$_SESSION["session_username"] = $my->username;

$_SESSION["session_usertype"] = $my->usertype;

$_SESSION["session_gid"] = $my->gid;

$_SESSION["session_logintime"] = $logintime;

$_SESSION["session_userstate"] = array();

Comment that out and substitute this

Code:

session_register('session_id');

session_register('session_user_id');

session_register('session_username');

session_register('session_usertype');

session_register('session_gid');

session_register('session_logintime');

session_register('session_userstate');



$GLOBALS["session_id"] = $session_id;

$GLOBALS["session_user_id"] = $my->id;

$GLOBALS["session_username"] = $my->username;

$GLOBALS["session_usertype"] = $my->usertype;

$GLOBALS["session_gid"] = $my->gid;

$GLOBALS["session_logintime"] = $logintime;

$GLOBALS["session_userstate"] = array();

Admin Loop - My Solution

Hey - I was having the admin loop (for a few days) and followed all of the suggestions and saw all of the problems (ie. \tmp not /tmp; Super Administrator not superadministrator; etc.) and none of the solutions worked and so, I got pretty fed up and quit. I looked for another cms to install and sadly had problems with them all. I talked to my hosting company, which of course doesn't support outside scripts and was finally able to track down my problem to my php install. Apparently, I had two to choose from: php4-cgi and php4-dso (the Apache version). I had the cgi type installed; so I scrapped it and installed the dso version--la, la magic! Mambo works, as well as, the other apps and things are just dandy. I hope this bit o' info is helpful.

:D :rolleyes:

Admin login loop solution

Like hundres of others I spent a hanful of hours on this problem. After reading many many posts I decided to solve it myself.

Add this line above your session_name('masadmin'); part in index.php and index2.php (probably some others)

session_save_path("/tmp");

Then add a directory called tmp inside your administrator directory. If on linux you might need to chmod it to 777.

And voila! It works!

Dont know why the installer does not do this for you. Maybe it is possible that someone could hijack the session if inside the wwwroot?? You can make shure the tmp directory in sot browsable from your IIS manager.

I think the Mambo developers should post a fix for this. Way too many people are having problem with this.
