Hey guys,

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to SMF 2.0 RC1.2

My problem is,   I cant login to the admin area or even logout.

I tried the repair_settings.php with no luck.   I
I cleared the cache, history and cookies with no luck.

Can it be a server issue?

Thanx,
Mick.

Did you see any error message when logging in or out?

Was it working fine before the upgrade to 2.0 RC1.2? If it was this should not be a server-related issue.

It was working fine before the upgrade.

If i clear the cookies and cache, i can login to the forum just fine.  ...but if i go to the admin page, i get this:

"Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again."


I cant logout either.

Take a look at this topic: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=345925.msg2339251#msg2339251

i tried several ways, no luck.  Problem still persists.   I have upgraded 4 times thinking it would fix itself but no luck.

So a brand new install does the exact same thing?

Link to PHP info?

Are you using a custom theme? If so, have you tried on the default theme?

Have you tried installing a new version 1.1.10 to see whether it works?

Heres the story....

I was on a "Standard VPS" for the past year.  2 weeks ago i upgraded to a "Dual-Core 1.6 ghz" server.

A few days later, i decided to downgrade back to the "standard VPS".

Thats when i realized something went wrong.   SiteGround tells me is a script issue.  I told them is not,.... that i could create numerous SMF accounts with no problems before the server move and now has login session issues when new SMF since the server account was moved back.

I went ahead and upgraded to SMF 2.0 since my forum was down and yet the issue still present.   I created SMF 1.1.10 in another folder and the problem still there.

Thats why i think is a server issue and not the script.

Well if that is the case this does sound like it is server-related.

You did not clarify the real situation in your first post, which prompt many to believe that you only faced this issue after upgrading to version 2.0 RC1.2. ;)

I think this may have something to do with it...

session.cookie_path   /tmp   /tmp

The cookie_path should be just "/" (without quotes), not "/tmp".  Try changing that in php.ini, reload the web server, then try again.

I will forward this.

Funny you say that, after we moved back to the original server, i couldnt add pics to the gallery.  Something about not having enuff memory?

My host changed it to 64 in php.ini

SlammedDime, you nailed it.  That was the culprit.  Everything works now.  Thank you.
