lot of people have problems loggin in joomla! administrator. had no problems on apple or linux install, when using windows came accross login problem.
so problem? in case session error. installed php in non default windows directory.
php.ini stated session should saved in:
c:\php\sessiondata
but directory not exist.
*** solution ***
i changed session savepath to:
session.save_path= c:\apache\php\sessiondata
*** session error? ***
you can test whether or not have session error editing administrator/index.php.
add lines:
session_start();
echo $_session['session_id']
if session can not set you'll error looks this:
warning: unknown(): open(c:\php\sessiondata\sess_2dc0c0ca81f559eaf3eeb014cb05bb72, o_rdwr) failed: no such file or directory (2) in unknown on line 0
make sure error reporting level in php.ini @ least 'warning':
error_reporting = e_warning;
*** links ***
other reported problems can found here: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,6490.0.html. if post solutions problem here can keep faq 'clean'.
