Administration login problem, HELP!

[greg334]

Ok I have tried to figure this problem out for weeks and I give up. After 300 installations, this is the most trouble I have had.

 

I install osCommerce on a standard linux/mysql/php4 platform and everything works great for the first hour or so. I shut down my web browser, (IE 6 on windowsXP professional sp2 by the way) and go back to the admin section and I can?t log back in.

 

The customer login and everything else works great.

 

What happens is I put in my login info and click the login button but it kicks me right back to the login screen and the login info is gone.

 

If I put in the wrong login info, it does the same thing, returns me back to the login page without the login info. AND I do not get the warning about the wrong user name/password.

 

It does not matter what browser I use, IE, Netscape, Opera, etc? it is all the same. I have even tried Mac and Linux computers at different locations and even cleared the sessions, still does not work.

 

Has anyone had this problem before?

 

I can lock down the directory so I am inclined to ask does anyone know how to eliminate the login code so I can go directly into the admin section.

 

Thanks in advance

How do you have your admin protected?

Protected? do you mean if the directory is password protected? no it is not.
