Topic: 2.3.8 requires re-authentication every page

Hi

I've just installed version 2.3.8 as a new install and have experienced a strange issue. The installation went ok and I can login to FA, but every time I change a page it takes me back to the login screen and I have to re-authenticate before reaching the page I selected.

I have tried this on Windows Server 2003/IIS 6 and Windows 7/IIS 7 with the same result. However, installing 2.3.7 doesn't give me the same issue.

Any suggestions as to the cause?

Dom

Seems this can be related to bug 0001173 just resolved. Please login to our  Mantis system, download fixed session.inc file, use it  and report the results here.

Please set the $go_debug flag in config.php to 1 and report the errors that eventually arise.

Re: 2.3.8 requires re-authentication every page

Probably you have misconfigured php/www server installation, so the session files are not properly written to the disk. I have no experience with windows family systems, so there is small chance I could help. Anyway check why the file mentioned in the message cannot be deleted by www server process. I guess this is some permitions related problem.
