Hi,

In order to get some work done whilst on 'holiday', I've installed PHP 4.02 and Apache 1.3.24 along with MySQL on my WinXP Pro Laptop. I took a dump of my required DB's before I left but never had chance to test the setup.

I'm now finding that whilst my DB's have restored okay and apache/php is fine on the whole, the two sites I'm working on aren't operating as expected. My biggest problem is that the UDev log-in/user auth system (using Impakt) which I already have implemented on the site (and working fine on my linux server) just seems to have stopped working. No errors on the page but it just won't let me in. I've set up error logging in PHP.ini and whilst stuff is being logged, nothing about this. Has anyone out there got the time to point out some of the most common problems with this setup so I can try and resolve and get back to work. I'd hunt round the web for tips etc. normally but I'm using a GSM connection at the minute so things are a little sloooow.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer assistance.

Simon

The problem is likely in your PHP Version. You should remember that PHAkT/ImpAKT recommend the use of PHP v4.06 or above.

I believe that in the builds prior to 4.0.6 there were session issues that would probably explain your difficulties here with the Authentication behaviors.

Failing this, it could also be an issue with your PHP Configuration. You should edit your PHP.ini and check the session_save_path setting (I believe it is this, it could be different) to ensure that your sessions are saving to the right place, and that the relevant permissions are set for that directory.

Sorted it! I copied the php.ini file from my linux box onto this set-up. Once I'd made a few path changes, everything worked just fine! I'll compare the two when I have time.... <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks for your response Tim.
