Hi,
I've been using this application since July-Aug 2005. I have installed and heaviliy modified several instances of v 1.4.x. For the life of me, I can't install or upgrade 1.5.x. I've been working on it for about a week now and finally decided to ask for help. I can successfully install 1.4.3 but when I "successfully complete" the upgrade, I can't login. I've run the mysql query on my DB to change the password, won't work. I've done fresh installs (new web directory, newly created DB), won't work. I can never get the initial login. I deleted cookies as suggested to someone else, no go. I even tried to logon via a fresh install of Window 2003 Server (I had to config a new Oracle server for work and figured I'd try using a fresh install of IE.), no go.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Jesse

Do you get a error when you try to login? Did you try to login with Firefox or Opera?

No error whatsoever. I just can't login with either IE or FF.

Have you moved your admin to somewhere else other than /admin on the end of your URL? I guess if you've hacked pp then you'll need to hunt through the code to get everything to go to the right place.

Nope, as I mentioned in the original post, I've tried several times to do fresh installs -- empty directories and newly created databases. When I attempted the upgrades, they were done to fresh installs of 1.4.3. The 1.4.3 installs worked perfectly after they were installed. I could login, add a photo, then see it displayed on the site. When I upgraded per the simple instructions, the username password didn't work.

Nope again. I also mentioned that I tried that already.

What are your server specs?

What are your server specs?

It's a hosted solution but the PHP version is 4.3.11 and the MySQL version is 4.0.26 on a Windows 2003 Server. As I mentioned before, all previous versions of PP worked flawlessly.

1.5 uses sessions instead of cookies maybe that made the problem for u

Try clearing your cache and deleting all those cookies and see what happens with 1.5

I did that already. I also installed a brand new browser. I also attemted to connect to it from several browsers that have never been to this site before.

I am happy and can live with 1.4.3.

If I remember right Older versions of Windows 2003 and PHP sessions do not play well togather - but I have never used as Windows server so cannot tell what to do - sorry

Do you use IIS? Maybe you can use Apache, PHP, MySQL. WAMP for example.
More information read this thread:

I don't think suggesting another webserver is a proper solution.. but more like avoiding a problem..

I'm currently compiling the stuff that isn't working on my side (I'm using IIS) and will come up with some updates from a friend of mine who is giving me a hand. from what I can see right now is that as stated by se.nsuo.us some of the php code isn't "standard" and it isn't parsed correctly in IIS.

I'll keep in touch.

I was having this same issue when upgrading to 1.5beta. After a little digging I found an item in my webhost's faq page stating that in order for me to run php sessions I have to add a command to the top of each page running a session indicating a session save path for my server, looks like this:

session_save_path("/home/users/web/<bucket#>/<your_domain>/cgi-bin/tmp");

I put this in my /index.php file and my admin/index.php file and it seems to work, so it may be that your web host requires a similar command to use sessions.

Thanks for the heads up nadams. I'll give it a try tomorrow and see what happens.
