I'm trying to set up a quick little weblog. It's not something that everyone and their cousin is going to read, but more for my own reference. You know, think back to when times were good (and bad)...
Anyway, I've seem to run into a unique problem.
I followed the install documentation to the letter. Everything seems to run fine, except that I can't seem to login. I'm not getting an error or anything.. It's just that no matter what I enter for a username and password, it goes just to a blank page. When I look at the source of the page that it brings me to, this is the only text...
| Quote: | | <html><body></body></html> |
no errors, no warnings, nothing in any http log. just... nothing but blankness.
I don't have any problems connecting to the database (it's local and I'm the admin). I tried the testdb script in another thread and got just a "done" answer, so there were no problems connecting to the db.
Unfortunately, though I'm pretty good at maintaining my server(s), I have very limited experience in the actual programming behind it. I can fix apache when it breaks, but I don't do much for the configuration. Same goes with MySQL. I know they are both working, and all the requirements in the install doc have been met, and I can view the default opening page (root's Hello World post)...
Any ideas of something I may be missing? The install.php went through without error and said all was fine.
Please help

Background.
Server = RedHat Linux 8.0
MySQL = 3.23.52
apache = 2.0.40
php = 4.2.2
The b2++ source files are in a directory that is part of a virtual host. the machine runs 3 different personal sites, each with a different host-header name, but only has 1 ip.
I'm not sure if this helps.

OK, I enabled prompting for cookies, and it doesn't appear that I'm getting any...
I have reinstalled b2++ and reconfigured. I can add new users, and register them, but it boils down to the fact that for some reason my server is not sending out cookies...
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a setting in apache that enables or disables sending cookies? Is there something special I need to do because this is a virtual-name host?
I think I'm getting close to a solution.... Just that one final step....
Any ideas?

OK, I'm lost again...
No, it's not setting cookes, but it's not doing any of the login stuff either. It doesn't even give me an error when the username/password field is blank...
<lost!>

Although this may be a very simple solution and has nothing to do with the MySQL or anything ...
In your IE browser, go to Tools --> Internet Options --> General --> Temporary Internet Settings --> Settings
If it says "Every Visit To Page" deselect it by selecting Automatic.
I do hope this helps. I don't know if this is the problem or now, but when I changed it from Automatic to Every Visit To Page, I got a blank screen when logging into b2. Good luck with this!!~
