Topic: I cannot stay logged into Admin Console

Hello.  I think that I have the problem with the sessions path not defined and/or not writeable.  I got the red message during the installation.  I do not know how to create the directory.  I tried to read the php runtime pages in order to create a directory for the sessions.  But it was over my head.
Can someone help me past this hurdle?  I cannot use the admin console.  I am asked again and again for my username and password every time I try to click on a link.

thanks
smokey

Re: I cannot stay logged into Admin Console

sesion path not wiretable or doesnt have session path.

if using htacces youre put the session path directory in the .htaccess.

example:

make a directory root /sessions and chmod 777 and put the hatccess file

absolute path
/var/www/vhosts/abc.com/httpdocs/session

solution the loop login problem

Re: I cannot stay logged into Admin Console

I apologize.  I feel very stupid.  I do not understand what you wrote.

You asked me to create a directory called 'sessions'  and place it in the root of my site.  Later you wrote that I should write something into the file htaccess.txt  :
You wrote :
absolute path
/var/www/vhosts/abc.com/httpdocs/session

I have a web host, not my own linux/apache server.
Would the text look like this for me?

absolute path
/var/www/vhosts/abc.com/httpdocs/sessions

or
absolute path
normlsto.dot5hosting.com/httpdocs/sessions


I don't know what to write.

Thank You

Re: I cannot stay logged into Admin Console

I have some new information about my webhost that may help you to tell me what to write in htaccess.txt.
my host is dot5hosting.com
My document root = /home/users/web/b441/d5.normlsto/public_html

Please help me to fix my htaceess.txt file.  I am getting a login loop for the admin console.

Where do I create the sessions folder?

thanks

Re: I cannot stay logged into Admin Console

admin login loop problem solutions:

once rename "htaccess.txt"   ".htacces"

and add line sessions path

once make a directory httpdocs root sample "sessions"
and chmod 777 this folder

and add the line .htacces file

php_value session.save_path "var/www/youresitedirectory/httpdocs/sessions"

Re: I cannot stay logged into Admin Console

I renamed the file to .htaccess

without any .txt extension.

This crashed my site/database and I get internal server errors.

I cannot complete the installation.
