Administration Suite login

Post by lumix »

I moved my blog from one server to another and from one domain name to another.
I followed the directions in the FAQ. All went well except for this one small problem.
I can login to the Administration Suite but when I click on anything for instance if I click on new entry, edit entry , configuration or anything else on the menu, I get returned to the login screen prompting for my name and password. Everything else works fine. How can I fix this?

Hi!

Did you already change the domain name etc. inside the serendipity_config table?

The redirection happens because the old domain name might still be used for Session Cookies of PHP, that cannot be connected to the right domain. Or, PHP sessions might completely not yet work on your new server. Check the phpinfo() output to see if session.* commands are set to use cookies, the domainname matches yours, etc...

HTH,

Thanks for the help.
I overlooked one line with the wrong path in the serendipity_config table
I'm back in business now. Thanks
