Hi!
Either your browser is not supporting cookies, or your server is not supporting PHP sessions, or you are not using the domain to enter your blog that you entered in the s9y configuration page.
So, check your browser first, then check the URL you use, and if all is okay, create a test.php script with this content:
and give me the URL to that script.
Best regards,
Garvin

Hi!
Did you check your browsers cookies and the configured URLs first?
Your PHP confugration for the value "session.save_path" looks odd. It points to ".\" which does not seem right. Can you please ask your provider if he can point that varaible to a proper directory like "/tmp"?

i made a change to the following "extension_dir = ./" could this be a reason

Hi!
No, extension_dir is completely unrelated.
A wrong session-path leads to your session getting not saved, and thus once you login and go to a next page, no data can tell you were already logged in. This is related to the server though, not serendipity.
HTH,

Hi!
If you have full access to php.ini, yes you can change that. You also need to restart your Webserver after changing the file.

What happens? What did you change? Maybe you broke a file or made invalid settings in php.ini. Check the error logfiles of both webserver and PHP in that case.

i have access to the php.ini file which is in my folder, and i am on a shared hosting, so i don't think i can restart the machine

Again: What happens when you go to admin? What did you change?
