    • 6.1 on IIS 6 no admin login possible

    Posted by moretolearn posts: 2

    Trying to use TW on our IIS web site. Have followed all references I could find but have not been able to get 6.1 going.

    As a test, I have managed to get 5.3 going, so not sure why 6.1 has issues. Any guidance on how to debug this is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Details are:
    - Win2003 SP2 and IIS6
    - MySQL 5.1 (tried both local and remote server)
    - PHP 5.2.17
    - Firefox 3.6
    - No tildes in the URL
    - Tried placing TW in the root of the web site and as a virtual directory
    - Have granted the EVERYONE user READ,WRITE & MODIFY access to the web root and all sub folders.
    - No PHP errors recorded in the PHP error log

    Symptoms:
    - Install proceeds successfully.
    - DB install states that is is successful (both local and remote DB scenarios)
    - Prompted with admin change password screen and successfully change the password.
    - Prompted with the Home page, then login as admin and new password, only to be presented with the Home page again, which states:
    "Congratulations
    This is the default homepage for your Tiki. If you are seeing this page, your installation was successful.

    You can change this page after logging in. Please review the wiki syntax(external link) for editing details."

    - Try clearing cookies, then logging in and are presented with "You have to enable cookies to be able to login to this site".

    Hi All,

    Further to the original details, I have downloaded 6.0 and unzipped this into a new folder under the root of the IIS web server. I then pointed to the site/folder with my desktop browser and performed a successful install. No other steps were performed, i.e. perms or PHP modifications, as I am using the same web root as the 5.3 installation.

    It is using the same MYSQL server (remote) with a new DB and same user as the 6.1 setup.

    I can successfully login as admin to the 6.0 site/folder and modify settings.

    The 6.1 install is presenting the "cookie" error, while 5.3 and 6.0 login successfully. Any pointers with how to debug or diagnose this will be appreciated.

    Ideally we would prefer to start off with the latest version, so as to avoid potential upgrade issues later.

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I've been running Tiki-6.1 for about a month and all was well until today. When I try to log in as the Admin, I get an internal error-error. I can log in as a user without any problems. So far I have changed all of my permissions, repaired the database, reset the admin password in MySQL, tried to load tiki-install.php and get either a blank or internal error. I'm fresh out of ideas, any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Ok, I have now checked the tiki-login.asp file and selected check syntax. I get a query back - database error 500, which is the page that keeps poping up when I try to login as admin.

    This is the tiki-login.asp file.
