    I have installed Plogger on my site and am able to get into the control panel where I am supposed to upload photos and create new albums. However when I try to upload new photos or click on a new tab it takes me back to the admin login page. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

    Jay

    Hi Jay,

    I saw your previous post here too -> http://plogger.org/forum/discussion/1758/help-adding-plogger-to-startlogic-server/#Item_10

    I think it has something to do with the session cookies. Which browser are you using? What are your cookie settings in your browser options?
    I can create the same issue by blocking all cookies with my browser (both IE and FF). You might want to set an exception for cookies from your site or at least for session cookies in general.

    Try that and see if that is the culprit.

    I tried your suggestions using Firefox and Internet Explorer unfortunately it gave me the same result. I'm beginning to wonder if Startlogic (the server being used) just plain sucks, since these problems do not occur with other servers. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks,

    Jay

    mster5,

    I can take a look at it to verify that the session cookies are coming through. If you wouldn't mind changing the admin login and password temporarily (I guess through the phpMyAdmin backend since you can't successfully login through the Plogger admin) and email me at sidtheduck at gmail dot com.

    Otherwise, I'm not sure what Startlogic would have done to cripple session cookies or sessions altogether.

    ETA: I just searched for 'Startlogic sessions' and is looks like you need to define the session_save_path -> http://www.startlogic.com/knowledgebase/read_article.bml?kbid=600

    So, try this. Open 'plogger/admin/index.php' and at the top is the session_start(); function. Edit is as follows:


    session_save_path("your home directory path/cgi-bin/tmp");
    session_start();


    replacing "your home directory path" per your server settings.

    Then do the same thing in 'plog-globals.php' (line 18 in the default Beta3 download).

    That should do it for you!

    Sorry, I was editing my post as you were posting. That should be sidtheduck at gmail dot com (. . . or you can try the steps I outlined above).

    Well . . . we got it working with the above code fix in the 'admin/index.php' file and the 'plog-globals.php' file. If anyone else is having trouble with Plogger on a Startlogic server, add the extra line of code and you should be golden! :)

    Mine continues to do the same thing, I put those lines in /admin/index.php & /ploggerb3/plog-globals.php and tried different combinations:

    session_save_path("*****.startlogic.com/cgi-bin/tmp/");
    session_save_path("/cgi-bin/tmp/");
    session_save_path("http://*****.startlogic.com/cgi-bin/tmp/");

    It does the same thing every time.

    marchhare,

    The "your home directory path" is not the URL, but the absolute path to your site. Sorry if my post was confusing. In helping with mster5's startlogic server, the absolute path was something like "/home/users/web/b69/*****/public_html". If you log in to the control panel, on the left hand side under "System Settings", there's a text box labled "Document Root". Copy that and paste in the above code on both the ''admin/index.php" and "plog-globals.php" files. It should end up looking something like:

    session_save_path("/home/users/web/b69/*****/public_html/cgi-bin/tmp");
    session_start();

    YEY! It works, I can switch tabs. But still problems. When I try to create a album I get a server not found error. When I go to the options tab I see that it says under gallery URL:

    http://****.startlogic.com//ploggerb3/

    The double slashes are suspicious to me. But im not sure how to change that. THANKS!!!

    if you're not having success with this on a startlogic server this worked for me:

    instead of /cgi-bin/tmp make it /phpsessions (obviously if this folder is already on your server)

    I have this exact issue, but I have no idea what server I am using. I host my site through bizland. Will this solution work for me or is it specific to that server?

    Umm, Nevermind I just tried this and it worked. If anyone has this issue with a bizland hosting account, this solution works.

    Hey I'm having the same problem, I change the two files. I'm able to login, but after I click on manage (or any other button) I get a blank screen afterwards.

    Do I add the code given or replace it???

    I did both and nothing worked...

    Thanks,

    Bill

    Did you try using /phpsessions instead of /cgi-bin/tmp as barman suggested? Just curious.
