redirecting to login page again and again

Please set the $go_debug variable in config.php to 1 and see if any errors are trapped.
Otherwise look into your error.log and also ensure that your folder for saving your sessions (session_save_path) is writable.

Can any of you help us trap this bug on the IIS Windows server. We were earlier suspicious to the function session_regenerate_id() in line 79 of file /includes/session.inc.
What happens if you comment out this line?
You could also read this thread:
http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-regenerate-id.php

And try to experiment a little for the work arounds. We are sorry, that we don't have the Windows IIS server installed in our development environment.

i have switched from IIS7 to XAMPP server, where it worked fine.

now i have issue with time,
the time zone set in
config.php file is
ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Berlin')
and i have changed it into
ini_set('date.timezone', 'GMT-5');

but its still showing wrong time.

i want it to show my server time but its showing different time.

Thanks

MAte the issue is unresolved in IIS suggest you switch to xampp. and admin guys, have checked the issue with IIS it most probably is the database. PHP runs well on IIS as long as there is not db involved. had nightmares getting mysql to work with IIS, somehow even with the mysql workbench i could not do that. the commands just don't work..forget the commands you would be lucky to link it to the db in the first place. if anyone has been able to connect to a mysql db in IIS do correct me.

would need a different db for IIS, maybe mysqli.

For those struggling with a Windows install:

The bug causing the 'constant login' in IIS is fixed by replacing '$secure=null' with '$secure=false' in line 15 of session.inc, so should be:

function sessionStart($name, $limit = 0, $path = '/', $domain = null, $secure = false)

i have installed version 2.3.10 and I have the same problem with login page,

session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/php_sessions/sess_fe155c02f4b61db93bdb6240db3848c7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in file: /hermes/bosweb/web057/b575/ipg.mixmarketco/count/includes/session.inc at line 25

i tried to change $go_debug variable in config.php to 1... the same problem

check permissions of the /var/php_sessions/ folder and ask godaddy to fix it.

It will work in current PHP v5.3.x - maybe specific early versions in PHP 5.3.x may be broken.

Just remove the .htaccess file and see if it works - then fix the .htaccess settings to match your hosting provider.

Check your apache error logs possibly from your GoDaddy cPanel.
Try to craete a file say phpinfo.php in your webroot with the following:

<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>

and execute it from the browser and you will see a wealth of info like session path and then you can contact your GoDaddy support to fix any PHP.ini issues.

Please remove the phpinfo.php file after getting the browser output.

If you are still stuck, email / PM me with server access details after creating temporary access passwords that you can revert on completion of the troubleshooting.
