Log in and registration isssues

[Eternal_Howl]

Hi there,

 

I used a script that was installed very quickly from my host server so I didn't really have to do much. It looked fine. I went to log in to admin and the user and p/w are correct, but it just returned back to the admin log in screen. Entered it again, no joy. Tried using a different user name to test it and it said user name wrong - so I was correct in that original user/pw were right - it's just not doing anything. I looked around these forums for the solution and people mentioned catalogue and I can't find that folder, so either that file is missing or simply called something else. I'm using version 2x2 I think. (Not the newer one.)

 

So I thought the store front looks fine (even though I can't do anything at this stage) and thought I'd test it. I am unable to create a user account either. It tells me I need to complete all the fields again.

 

It appears something is not connecting to the database but I get no warning errors indicating there is an issue.

 

Any ideas?

So far, all I can do is try to modify the layout of the store as I do not even know what the admin control panel looks like.

 

The options I get are administration, online catalogue and support site,but logging in, just takes me back to the same intro page - does not state any errors. But I know somethng is not connecting somewhere. Hope that helps.

Ask you host if there are any restrictions in the php ini for "fopen" sounds like its possible its turned off.

Will do, thanks

 

It seems it was the version of PHP. I had set it to 6 which is still in beta. I haven't used my mysql and php scripting for a while.

Now it appears to be working and I can start editing the variables properly.
