Fresh installation on Joomla 1.0.10, when I log in to the admin area I get to the administrator home, but the moment I try to go to another page I get sent to the username and password prompt screen again, and the url at thew top is '...index.php?mosmsg=You%20need%20to%20login'

It doesnt happen every single time I move around the admin area, but almost all the time within a couple of clicks.

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with this issue. Been reading all over the forum and there are some similar issues but I cant find a solution to mine.

Have you tried clearing your cache and temp. files??? Also if your using firefox clear your authenticated sessions.

In firefox hit ctrl + shift + delete and it will bring up the 'clear private data' dialog box.

Check your session expiry time. And are you being hosted by PowWeb? If so their has been a littany of trouble with this since their massive server migrations. Check you session save path in your php.ini file to make sure it is correct.

I'm hosted by Easyspace/Iomart

The session save path shown by phpinfo() is /

The sessions couldnt have expired as it happens within seconds and the default 900 and 1800 are set.

If / is the wrong path I cant really change it myself, how could I explain it to the hosts so that they solve the problem?

You should be able to add a php.ini file to set the session folder. You can simply create a folder for the sessions and point the php.ini file there.
Also make sure you have deleted your cookies and check the new cookies for the URL and see if it includes the www or not.

I created a tmp folder and placed a php.ini file in my web root with;

session.save_path = /absolute path to folder/www/tmp

Still the same problem is happening, although when I look at phpinfo() the session.save_path now appears as /tmp instead of /

are you sure that your host is using phpsuexec?

If not then the php.ini changes will make no difference.

have you tried something like this in your .htaccess file:

php_value session.save_path /absolute_path_to_folder/www/tmp

if that works then you are not using phpsuexec and the local php.ini files are making no difference.

If apache bombs out with a 500 server error then you are most likely in a phpsuexec environment.

Another way to see if your php.ini is talking effect is to look at phpinfo() output, for the value:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path

if that shows your php.ini then it is loaded, if is shows some other location then it is not loaded....
