SugarCRM Pro Newbie Cant get Past Login

[krystalchimera]

Hello All...

I've scoured the forums high and low for info but I am not too sure where the problems lies.. the issue being that I am unable to log in to the sugarcrm console using correct credentials after an install..

Software Setup Info:
Webserver - IIS 5.0
PHP - 5.1.4
MySQL - 5.0.22
SugarCRM - SugarPro Full 4.0.2.0d
OS Info - Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

Attached is the sugarcrm.log file that i get with the 'debug' flag on...

Any ideas from any corners of the forum much appreciated..

Cheers
Pri

After much ado I've narrowed it down to a PHP 5 session registering/initializing problem..

When I try doing an install of the sugar pro 4.0.2 app.. i get

Undefined index: setup_db_type

so i've goen and changed the install/checksystem.php file to manually enter a value for the db type variable (which in my case is MySQL).. the next step in installation gets a similar problem ..

Notice: Undefined index: setup_db_type in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sugarcrm\install\dbConfig.php on line 196


so yeah.. if anyon has successfully used PHP 5 and IIS 5 to install and run sugar, give me a yell..

If it helps anyone out there... this was a problem with PHP cookies being reset every time a page from a directory different to the current one was run (or included in intall.php etc..) .. so, the session_cookie* variables needed to be set correctly in teh php.ini file .. examples available on the php manual and stuf..

cheers
