Step 4 Issues // Log in problems

[kekeeler]

Hi,
I recently downloaded form tools and got everything to work perfectly on my local server. However, yesterday tried to run it on off of my Fat Cow MySQL database and since then I have been running into problems. I downloaded the most recent version off of this site and uploaded it with my FTP. I got through steps 1-3 without a problem but step 4 is where I ran into the same problem as everyone else who has posted about step 4 on this forum. So I updated the config.php file manually and uploaded it then I manually skipped ahead to step 5 where I made a user name and password. Everything went through on step 5 so I went back and deleted the install folder and then tried to log in.

Here comes the problem...

When I submit the user name and password nothing happens. I am not redirected to a new page instead, I just remain on the log in page. I even looked at the database I have set up on my Fat Cow server and the user name and password are there but for some reason they are not being read by the form tools files.

This has been driving me crazy trying to figure this out all day. Hopefully someone has some insight!

Thank you and let me know if you need any other information!!

Hi kekeeler,

Hmm... strange, it sounds like there's a problem with your sessions, but if you were able to install it, that usually means it should work fine. Curious!

One thing you could try is adding the following line to your /global/config.php file:

PHP Code:

$g_session_type = "database"; 


That uses database sessions instead of PHP ones. Let me know if that works or not.
