Hello, Because I am not sure if this is just a PHP issue or a PHP+DB issue, I will be posting this message (seperately) to bith the "General" and "PHP-DB" lists. First, a brief rundown of my setup: Mandrake Linux 9.0 Apache 1.3.27 PHP 4.3.0 We are in the process of rebuilding our outdated servers, and all sites have been moved over successfully, except our own, which has a Control Panel login. The login authentication is done using FreeTDS to an MSSQL 2000 database. This setup works fine on the current server, but when I test it on the new server, the authentication seems to work fine, but instead of the screen I normally see when logging in, I just get kicked back to the Control Panel login screen. At first, I suspected FreeTDS, but I have confirmed that a connection is definately being made by enabling and examining the "dump" file. The FreeTDS mailing list has confirmed that this is also the case. The current (working) server is running Apache 1.3.27 + PHP v4.1.2 . I had a similar problem on the current working server when I tried upgrading the PHP to v4.2.3 just before Xmas. I have not yet tried "downgrading" to v4.1.2 on the new server, and would rather not. :-) I am not really sure where to proceed from here. I can provide any further information you need, or can possibly provide a "Test" account if you wish to see for yourself what it is doing, which may give some ideas as to what is happening. Is there perhaps some logging variables I can enable in the Control Panel PHP script to see what is going on? Thank you, in advance, for your help and advice in this matter.
