Problems after install

[robertbranch]

Installed on Windows 2003 SBS, IIS 6, PHP 5.2.0, MySQL 5.0.22

The only issues during install was creating .htacess in the Serendipity folder, and permissions. I ended up having to grant Everyone Full Control for the Serendipity folder for everything to work.

Now when I go to the admin page I can login successfully, but if I click on any link I am dropped back to the log in screen.

Also, from any machine other than the server it looks crappy.

I am sure these are problems I caused because I am such a noob, but I appreciate any help I can get!

Hi!

Now when I go to the admin page I can login successfully, but if I click on any link I am dropped back to the log in screen.

This usually means that the PHP sessions / cookies do not work on either server or client.

Did you check if the PHP.ini session.save_path points to a directory where write access is possible and files are being created?

Best redgards,

Thanks that was totally it! I had made a typing error in the path.

I will see if I can resolve the other issues now that I have access to the configuration panel.

I appreciate the help!!
