Login to 1.0RC4 do not works

[jramirez]

I've just downloaded pligg, I'm trying to test it in JSAS with PHP Version 4.4.4 and MySQL - 4.1.14-nt

The first problem was that the table groups wasn't created during installation, the issue it's because "collate latin1_general_ci" it's not supported by this MySQL Version, so I changed the collate to utf8_spanish_ci and create the table.

After installation ends I delete the "install" folder and try to login to the administration panel, but after write the username and password simply the login do not works, just sent me to the home page.

I've tried changing the session_start() function in config.php to @session_start() with no success.

Even I found another post ( http://forums.pligg.com/installation-upgrade-help/17648-just-installed-rc4.html ) where the user had the same problem and the answer was

I installed on a localhost account (ex. http://localhost/demo) we had to write in a fix for that situation

I think that an excellent answer is explaining the problem and giving a solution, not only saying "...we had to write in a fix..." What was that fix? it is in this Release? It going so be in the next release? How do you fixed it?

So my "solution" (quoted because do not works either) was modify the hosts file in my computer and give a domain name to the localhost, for example:

127.0.0.1    www.mydomain.com

So, I pointed my browser to http://www.mydomain.com:85/pligg/install/install.php and installed again. The same, simply can't login.

I've attached my phpinfo file.

I'm a little disappointed but I really want to use pligg and not just use it, also recommend it and why not even support it?

You should try the latest SVN version.

Any reason why you are using JSAS (Joomla stand alone server) instead of the more standard WAMP or XAMP? Pligg is more compatible with php 5 and mysql 5. JSAS seems like its not kept up as much, plus it costs money where WAMP and XAMP are both free and more widely used/supported.

Thanks for your response, I'm using JSAS because I have it installed in my computer and my hosting supplier has PHP 4.3.11, I'll take your suggestion and install WAMP to test it.

I'll post here the result of this to share it with others new users.

Ok, thanks for your comment, I've downloaded WAMP, php 4.3.9 addon and Apache 2 addon and it's working fine.

I don't know if the problem was the version of MySQL because it's the unique difference. I'd like to know if after create the tables during installation the scripts populate some tables, maybe there's the issue and could be goo to know to give some advice to newbie users.

So, If you want to test pligg using PHP4, please use WAMP instead of JSAS. Wamp is flexible you can add different version of PHP, Mysql and Apache for testing your apps.

Hi guys, I'm a newbie to Pligg.
I got same problem as some of you push in this thread. Can not login after install Pligg RC4 (even register then try login does not work) while RC3 has no login problem.
I use AppServ project 2.5.8 with detailed Apache, PHP & MySQL used below:
# Apache Web Server Version 2.2.4
# PHP Script Language Version 5.2.1
# MySQL Database Version 5.0.27
# phpMyAdmin Database Manager Version 2.9.2

Could you guy please check pligg for this bug and tell me how to fix?

Thanks!

Did you try to close all browser windows and then to login again? If so, please look what is within your settings.php file: what is $my_base_url?

[yuyu]

Hi,
Thank for replying me.
My $my_base_url is:
$my_base_url = 'http://localhost:81';

Is it strange? I got IIS with port 80 (default) therefore I install AppServ with port 81. Pligg 0.9.x & 1.0.0 Rc3 still can login without problems.

Please help me find out robplems. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

I've installed Pligg twice now today and i cannot login. Im using 1.0.0 Rc4.

Im using PHP 5.2.6 and MySQL 4.1.22

It says it's installed but here is the error message I get:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/autoraci/public_html/www2/languages/installer_lang.php:77) in /home/autoraci/public_html/www2/config.php on line 37

Any ideas what I can try?
