Serendipity 1.1: Login/Session Cookie Bug in Windows IIS

[ltomlin]

! you cannot hear me but I am laughing…you are a genius, that is it. The admin system is now working, the interesting thing is that if I am having this problem then it means that anyone using either Window 2000 or 2003 Server, IIS and PHP 5.2.1, would potentially have this problem too. So now we all know how to resolve this problem.

The php.ini file contain's the following parameter

• session.save_path

The default value of this parameter is

• "C:\DOCUME~1\*\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\session"

if you change this value to

• "C:/Temp/"

It should work.

Hi!

You posted a new topic again!

Yes, that's true. Any IIS or also Linux server admin needs to pay attention that tmp files are properly configured and writable.

Glad we solved it.
