Hi,
Someone using your hosting posted on our support forums the other day requesting help as to why he couldn't log into the admin panel of his installation of one of our scripts, Olate Download. So far, we haven't been able to reproduce it on any of the servers we have access to.
The problem is that he enters the username and password, clicks the submit button and then gets redirected back to the login page again with no errors or anything. Looking into it in more detail using the LiveHTTPHeaders Firefox extension, the cookie isn't actually being sent back by the script.
I have provided him/her with a script to run to test whether the issue was actually with setting cookies, or something else. It seems from the results of the script that the cookies were setting as they should be. This now seems to suggest that it's either a problem with our script or something to do with sessions in PHP, as they send a cookie back to the web browser containing the session id. I'm going to make another test script shortly to test sessions and see if the problem lies there.
I was wondering if there were any known issues with this sort of functionality on your hosting platform. I intend to request an account as well (once I've got the five posts) to try things for myself.
Regards
David Salisbury
