cannot re-login to a new install
I am at my wit's end with this. I am running two web sites on server in a private network; both involve TikiWiki/SLES9 SP3/Apache2. One is running fine; the other was running fine up until a couple of months ago. Then the login process got flaky; I would get the message that "You have to enable cookies to be able to login to this site." Cookies are enabled. After a little research, I found something about the tiki_sessions table being goofed up. I looked and sure enough it was, so I emptied the table and began again. OK for awhile. Then that started happening more and more often. I fixed the sessions table and went on. Finally, it started happening all the time. I got the latest release of TikiWiki — about a month ago, whatever that was, installed — same problem. I have checked to see if everybody has read permissions, and directories have executable permissions numerous times. I got the users' permission to just start over. I have done this 4 times now. I have deleted the database and made a new one with a different name, I have reloaded all of the software. I have looked at the httpd.conf file — this web site is configured just like the one that works. I have checked the two db users — all the same settings.
This morning I did the whole thing over again. Dropped all the tables, restarted mysql and apache2, and re-installed. I gave the admin user a password and made three users. I turned on forums and file galleries. I could still log in. I have been here before, so I rebooted the server. Now I can't login to any account — I get the cookies message yet again. I checked the tiki_sessions table — 1 record, 10KB 6KB overhead. I just checked it again — 125 records, 21.4KB, 0KB overhead. Meanwhile, the other tikiwiki just keeps going along with no problems. If anyone has any clues here, I would really appreciate hearing them.
