So I just transferred over my sytist folder from an old server to a new one. I also transferred the mysql database and linked it sucessfully in sy-config.php.

However, when logging in, it simply does nothing, the only change is to the URL where it updates it to /index.php?do=login#page=thumbs

Also, when clearing the admin accounts from the mysql tables so I can create a new account. The same error occurs.

Below is a linked GIF of the process and error.

Any ideas anybody?

I replied to your email about this. But seeing that gif, it looks like the problem is that it is unable to save the session to log you in. This could be a permission issue or something else.

Try this. Edit the sy-config.php file that is in the Sytist folder.

Remove these 2 lines and save and see if that helps.

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 1800);
ini_set('session.save_path', $setup['path']."/sy-phpsessions");

So it did work, but now I cant access my main sytist install. http://35.203.40.102/sytist/

It seems this happened after i changed my theme. Another thing I noticed was that I am not able to update sytist automatically due to it not having write permissions in the backup folder.

Do I need to recursively set all the file perms inside of sytist to 777?

It is best to have something like suPHP or Fast CGI on the server so files and folders are writable with default permissions. If not, yes, you should set the permissions to all files and folders to 777.

This is working for me:

Hi there,
I am having the same problem.
I moved my site into a subfolder and everything seemed to work and then changed the theme and now I cannot log in to the admin area.
Same issue as Bailey's GIF and if I put in the wrong password it does recognize that the password is incorrect.
Tim, is removing those two lines of code still the recommended solution?

Thanks
Tony
