Our experience, before we recoded everything, (I am assured that we no long
er have this problem) was that new users had trouble getting log in to stick
and would sometimes give up. Those that keep trying eventually stayed logged
in although login would occasionally drop.
If you would like our problems instead of your problems you can try:

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the advice so far on my login problem.

This is an ongoing problem on most new

experience with. Basically you need to tell folks
to
keep trying.
Does this mean that eventually the problem goes away,
or is it intermittent?
Would it be worthwhile to try rolling back to the
previous version mediawiki-20031118?

Have you enabled the file cache ($wgUseFileCache)

database messages
($wgUseDatabaseMessages)? I had the same problem
with
logins yesterday but
it seems to have gone away after I disabled them.
Neither of these is enabled in my environment. Would
have been nice to have an easy fix, though! :-)

Hi,
I have installed MediaWiki 1.1.0 on a Windows 2000
machine. Everything works well except for logins.
After I login, I get the "login successful" message.
Anytime I click to another page, the page still
shows
my IP address, and when I edit a page, the revision
is
associated with my IP address.
I have tried both IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.3.1.
By checking the the "Remember my password across
sessions" upon login I can force logins to stick
across pages.
I have verified that the following three cookies are
set for my site:
-PHPSESSID
-wikidbUserID
-wikidbUserName
Is there an extra configuration step I have missed?
Thanks for your help!
-Amy
