What verion of IE are you using?

I have the same trouble no admin link on the main page. Everything seemed to install ok no errors. Anyone got any ideas.Im using IE6. :?

Regards Steve

Have any of you troubled IE folks tried IE on a different PC? If it works on another PC, it would indicate to me that it's a problem with your particular IE configuration. Check settings like cookies, sessions, and caching.

I'm using IE6 out-of-the-box installation on several systems running Win2k and XP Pro and have the same results, no admin menu.

Thanks,

Jan

Yes I'm running XP IE as well I've deleted all cookies temp files and that has not help. So I run a HTML validator on the generated source code on the index page.While understand all the work is done on the server first the code still has to be correct. So if anyone else could test there's at the same place and we can compare our results.

The only other thing that causes this is a masked domain name, causing the cookie to be incorrectly set. Are either of you using one of those?

No. But I'm not using PN as my home page I was testing it out to see if it's what I want. would that be causing any problems with setting cookies.

I got the same problem and I am using IE - so please... help...

Has anyone been able to figure this one out. I just installed PostNuke and I'm having the same problem. I'm new to PostNuke and MYSQL, so I'm sure that I've just overlooked something. I setup everything without error. I did use a new database that I had already created, but the PostNuke setup reported no problems during the install process. When I try to log in with the admin account and password I see the "Logging you in..." screen. Then it takes me back to the orginal home page. I have no option to log out, I still see the Username and Password fields, and I don't have the administrator link under the Main Menu. The page does report that there is 1 registered user logged in. This is the only evidence that I have logged in. I have tried this from three machines. Two are running WinXP (one with SP2 and one without). I used MyIE2 and IE 6.0 from these machines. I have also tried it from my Mac (OS X Panther). I was using Safari on the Mac. I get the same result with all three browsers and machines.

Any help would be appreciated!

Having the same problem: PN 0.750 installed on Win98 SE, with IE 6.0 SP 1, using phpDev\Firepages locally. Installation went smooth, database is installed properly and accessible (via MySQL Front).

http://localhost/PostNuke/html/index.php is displayed: "Welcome to PostNuke, the =-Phoenix-= release (0.750)" and that's it, the rest doesn't work: if I click on a link in the menu on the left, I only end up on the index page again.

Logging in, using the default user (Admin and Password), I land on Log in page. Clicking on the log in-button on the main page without filling out anything, I land on log in page as well. Nothing seems to happen when clicking on 'Log in' (on the User log in page): I remain on that log in page.

On the left, it says: "Online - There are 1 unregistered user and 0 registered users on-line."

No admin-link is visble on the left\in the menu.

Haven't tried anything yet with cookies-settings, secure sites etc. When off-line I'm not suing any fire wall, so that can't be the problem: when online, my firewall allowed Apache to run and it works fine.

Perhaps it is one of IE's patches? Being too restrictive? It's bit hard to accept that PN is not (always\completely) suited for the browser that (unfortunately...) dominates the Net....

Thanks for your input.

Today I installed Firefox and the results are the same:

- no admin button;
- logging in I land on 'log in' page: clicking on the link the index page is displayed again;
- any link I click on: index page doesn't change;
- I altered all file-attributes in the root\PN folder from 'archive' to non-archive;
- in config.php the system variable is set to 1 (Windows)

Any suggestions? Alternatives (perhaps another PN-version - I use Phoenix - Gold)?

Thanks in advance,

Jacques

I read this whole post, its amazing, nobody has figured this out, surely some developer on here has run into this? I tried everything mentioned here and including using firefox. So I'm basically sure its something to do with permissions or database creation. I really dont see how it could be anything else.

Mabye a solution for some? I tryed to upgrade my 0.72 site to 0.75. Nothing worked, because I have been modifying every mod and block over the year(s). So, I installed a fresh 0.75. Everything looked fine under installation. No errors. Loged in on my webmaster account, and everything still looked fine. When trying to go to the admin page, I just got a white, Blank Page. So, after a lot of forum-reading and testing and installing, I saw the change-language block. (I have norwegian as well as english). When changing the language to english, the adminpage appeared... So, for me the language was the problem, and mabye this could help u as well??

If you don't have the language block, insert this in your db:

You will then have a language block...

Works for me :)
