first admin/admin login failed workaround

[chrime]

If you have the same problem and don't know what's wrong with your php.ini or apache configuration try this one:

Open config.php and go to:

Code: Select all

	/* initilize php session */
	session_start();

Before these lines add this:

Code: Select all

/* cookie workaround. these lines maybe optional. */
	if (isset($_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'])) session_id($_COOKIE['PHPSESSID']);

After session_start add this:

Code: Select all

	/* cookie workaround */
	header("Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=".session_id()."; path=/; domain=".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."; expires=".gmstrftime("%A, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT", time() + 9600));

I hope this works as perfect as it did on our production servers.
Maybe you have to look at your php.ini if PHPSESSID is your session.name.
