Re: Re: WinXP install oddity
Hi Eric,
I've fixed this in 1.7.6 which is currently under development in CVS at the moment. I'll create a patch file and make it available on uk.tikiwiki.org along with a latest CVS code tarball for you.
I'll post again once I have that sorted out and available

It looks like the problems were similar — being unable to login after having gone throught the install/setup process and then closing your browser window. The workaround's were slightly different however. Russell's workaround was to add code to the tiki-index.php file:

I tried Damian's instead, and I have had no problems for the last 1.5 days. That includes logging off, shutting down browser, shutting down apache/mysql — restarting all and trying to get in as the same and/or different user. All works fine. Only issue is that you have your web root now at /www/tiki instead of at /www.
