UPDATE:
Switched hosting, problems evaporated. Got a better deal with faster servers too!!
Argh.
Thank you for this thread..and I hope my problem is just some bonehead problem on my part.
So, I’m hosted on FatCow. I followed the instructions that Diz T. Wiz posted here:
http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,31875.0.html
It works great, except that when I click login, it just reloads the page.. If I then click on forgot password, I’m promptly logged in. This has been the case for quite some time, and I haven’t been able to figure it out. Since the session.save_path thing is part of those FatCow install instructions (it goes into the php.ini file), putting it into a .htaccess just yields the dreaded 500 Internal Server Error. I’ve tried changing it from the default of /document root/cgi-bin/tmp to /document root/sessions, and it just barfs session_start() failure type stuff (i.e. it can’t save to that /sessions folder, despite it having the correct permissions)
I am kinda stumped. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
