For quite some time now, we have been getting sporadic reports of mysterious login problems, mostly with Internet Explorer but sometimes with other browsers on other OSes. Read on the full post for updates, last on Feb 9th.
There are a other few known problems with proper fixes, and those include:
not able to be logged in to multiple sites on the same domain at once. The fix for this is: ini_set('session.name', 'examplecom') (note that session name can only contain alphanumeric characters.)
login works, but you still appear to be logged out. The fix for this is to just press reload.
You are using an older version of Drupal and PHP 5.2. The fix for this is to update to the latest stable version, which has a fix.
Using the globalredirect module, which had a known bug regarding logins. Fix is simple: update to latest -dev versions, the official release is still broken.
However, if you have tried to log in to just one site, and even a reload fails to show you as logged in, and multiple host names are not the issue, then you are facing this problem. If you are BOTH a) able to reproduce it reliably and b) are comfortable with editing Drupal files, then please comment on this issue and I will try to help you find a solution.
I'm new to drupal, although I have played around with previous versions in the past. Anyway, I've been reading about the public files vs. private files issue. My question relates to downloadable files that we would want to sell. Would setting the files to private be a way where we could control downloads of purchased mp3's for example?
Is it possible to hide all navigation objects amnd menus using php code on my page? If possible, I would rather do this than using the Administer/Blocks option.
I have recently added TinyMCE and IMCE to my new install of drupal 5.1 but cannot see the editor when I create a page or story.
In Modules, I can see that both modules are enabled, and in Permissions, all functions for TinyMCE and IMCE are enabled for both anonymouse and authernticated users.
In Site Configuration, I have entries for both modules, and for TinyMCE I can see that it Full Editor mode is selected, and is enabled for page,story,blog node types.
I must be missing something, because I still cannot see Tiny MCE when I write a page or story.
