    • Install problem: Permission denied you cannot view this page

    Posted by bderubinat posts: 4 Belgium

    I am installing version 1.7.4 on a debian box with apache 1.3, php 4, mysql 3.

    There is NO safe_mode in the way, I untared, mapped the directory in apache, tested PEAR (peartest in documentation), no problem.

    I ran setup.sh with no problem - first time "./setup.sh www-data www-data", no luck; second time, I also added rights and domain as I have several virtual host on the server (also, only one tiki), but still no luck (in both cases I get the same issue as described below). Also, there is no apparent issue as directories are created and owned by www-data.

    Then I access the tiki-install page, defined user/password, ... and it creates the tables.

    Then I go to tiki-index (or tiki-admin) and try to login. I change my password as it is due (changes are reflected in the db).

    so far, so good (seems to, at least)

    then I try to login and either get a "Permission denied you cannot view this page" (when the login is correct), or a "Invalid username or password" (which is expected when the login is incorrect).

    Does anybody has any clue about what is wrong?

    Regards,

    Bernard

    The username and password fields are case sensative.

    Can you confirm that they are correct caps?

    Otherwise, I would look at session cookies maybe, did you change for them to sit in the database or in /tmp?

    yes, admin/admin in small letters (then I changed the password to something else).
    Also the script does not complain on the password when I type it right (as the message is different whether I type the password ok or wrong.

    > Otherwise, I would look at session cookies maybe, did you change for them to sit in the database or in /tmp?

    I would rather have the session info in the DB, but that is secondary to my current issue now.
    No, I did not change session cookie storage. Actually, the install is vanilla 1.7.4 with vanilla database (I just notice that when installing the database, I says 1.7.3. But I presume the schemas are the same between 1.7.3 and 1.7.4)

    I also think of session and cookie to be the issue here, but I don't see where lies the issue sad .

    On the browser side, I have tried
    - OS X 10.3.2/safari 1.1 with java & javascript on; popups off
    - OS X 10.3.2/mozilla Firebird 0.7

    in both case, the only cookie I get is the tz_offset

    Hi again,

    Ok, From that I take it your on a Mac platform razz. I'm not sure if this affects mac or just windows however it was recently fixed in 1.8
    The trick is to move tiki from http://localhost into http://localhost/tiki

    I think marcuis corrected the problem, but off the top of my head I cannot remember what changed.
    If you can try that for me, and let me know, I'll get the fix backported into 1.7.5.

    Does not seem to do the trick. As described in my email to you, I tried various things. None worked, except hardcoding the usename in the script; which is of course not a good idea, but shows that the tiki engine is wrking and the issue sits on the auth part.

    Hang on a moment, are we going down the wrong road.

    When you login, does the login box change to say logged as: admin ?

    I assume that by box you mean a form in a table on the right on the screen (not a popup). I do have this form, and this is where I type the user/password stuff (admin/admin in the first place, then admin/otherpwd afterwards).

    In the box, it keeps asking for the username password, and does not say logged as: admin (which is strange as it does not complain about a bad password)
