I would recommend checking your CGIPath, and also seeing if you are being auto-redirected at any point.

Here's a problem I can't solve. I have Computer A and Computer B. Computer A is sharing it's internet connection via Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) with Computer B (a network). Both computers use the exact same versions and settings of Internet Explorer 6.0 (default).

When I successfully log in to my MT admin area from Computer B, then click on anything there, I'm being taken back to the login screen, and never get to my Add Entry screen. On Computer A it works fine.

I've read of someone having the same problem last October. They shut down their firewall, it then worked. I shut mine down for test purposes, and deleted all cookies, but still got the same problem. Being taken back to the login screen after successfully accessing the main menu.

Does anyone have any clue about this?
Thanks for reading!

Hi Ben! My CGI-paths are right. It all works fine on Computer A. But here is what I just figured out... when I click "Remember My Password" just before logging in, I get to go to the next screen, and from there no further - as described.

But when I do NOT click the remember password box, then log in, it all works fine. I don't have an explaination for this, but the two computers definately have the same configurations, including cookie settings. I know that for sure, because I just set them up a few days ago.

Well, not staying logged in is of course no big deal. It works this way.

Thank you, Ben!

I am seeing this same problem from all computers running IE, accessing server version 2.64.

Using IE 6.0, I get prompted to log in after selecting anything in the admin screen (create New Weblog, Edit Weblog Authors, etc). I see no problems with regular user functions.

I do not have this trouble with Opera or any other browser. All users testing the admin function are all experiencing the same thing.

And Yes, I am accepting cookies.

This is happening to me ever since I ran mt-db2sql.cgi to transfer my Berkley Database into my SQL.

The data seems to have transfered OK but now every time I click something, I'm returned to the login page. Once I re-login, I'm taken to the link I wanted but...

Any advice?

I'm having the same problem. Login screen keeps coming back. This occurred after I transferred from Berkely-DB to MySQL in MT 3.2. Everything is fine, except it keeps asking me to login. I checked all the config-issues, but that is OK. There is a link in the previous post that seems to lead to the answer, but the link is dead/goes to the main forum page. So I know there is an answer tot this problem, but what is it?!?

(very frustrating)

But I found it: it seems that the script forgets to create a mt_session table in the MySQL database.

I used the code below in Myphpadmin to create the table

CODE

create table mt_session (
session_id varchar(80) not null primary key,
session_data mediumblob,
session_email varchar(255),
session_name varchar(255),
session_start int not null,
session_kind varchar(2),
index (session_start)
);

thanx everyone
