Hi All,

[/i]I was hosting a site for a client of mine on our own server... since then moved it to Verio. Everything works fine except when the user attempts to log in the app, the login window disappears but user is not logged in. I realize I am using an older version of the program and there are security issues, however, it was working fine on my own server, i'm pretty sure it's some security setting or php setting that i need to adjust... would anyone have an idea of where to look? [i]I'm not a PHP expert...

I would suspect a session save path issue. I bet that session data is not being saved on the server, or the webserver user does not have permissions to write to the directory where session data is saved.

Okay, that makes sense... I have already given the gallery folder full permissions, however, did have to (of course) update the paths in the PHP config files. It might be that as well... would you happen to know which config file this would be in?

It would be a server/php config file try php.ini
