Topic: authentication problems with php sites...

[John Lewis]

Greetings,

While I've had no problems access webmail, I have had authentication problems with all php websites I've tried out on my e-smith 4.1.2 server.  I've tried geeklog 1.1, 1.2b and 1.5rc, myphpnuke, and postnuke .5.1.2

All seem to set up without any problems.  When I add users, I can authenticate as them during that computer session.  But whenever I try to access as the same users on different computers, or after shutting down and restarting on the original computer, the authentication fails.

I create the databases using myphpadmin, and give the php config files info to access the databases as root.  Content gets added to the sites as expected in the same way.  Successfully the first several times, then nothing.

Its as though there is a cookie/session problem, or some communication problem between the .php files in the web directories and the mysql databases.  I've found nothing in any of the logs (messages, httpd access and error and mysqld)

Is this happening to any of you?  Where else can I look for an indication of what's going on?

Thanks.
