I've run the "upgrade.php" script several times. But it doesn't fix the problem that is preventing me from getting into the Admin area of AdvancedGuestBook.

When I run the script, it tells me my password was correct and it proceeds to execute.

I am not upgrading from one version to another. I am using the newest version just downloaded.

I see the same symptoms as described elsewhere in this forum - Whenever I attempt to access the admin tabs on the admin screen, I am immediately returned to the Admin login screen.

Anyone have advice to share?

Thanks,
Frank

Yes sir. I use it daily. Is there something in there that needs to be adjusted?

Sorry for the late response. I was working on an ecommerce sheet for the combatcancer website.

The chatroom works fine. I just can't get to the admin to delete spammers and stuff like that.

Thanks for the help!

Well you could delete the entries via phpMyAdmin in book_data. But I need to know the field types for book_auth as I feel one may be incorrect.

The fields in book_auth are...
ID
username
password
session
last_visit

Those look OK?

The names are right but what are they set to? Like INT(14) etc.

I just realized that I can gain access to the Admin area from Firefox but not from IE. IE stills does the admin loop. Why in the world would that be?

I guess it doesn't matter a lot. Firefox does just fine with it. But does anyone have an idea why? Or has anyone noticed this strange issue before?

Try deleting your temporary internet files. Or have a look at CCleaner.

But I can get into the Admin section from both Firefox and IE now!!!

Thank you so much for the help!
