I've struck out with even a guess where to start here. http://co-op.downinthecountry.com/wiki/ No browser (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, IE) on any of 3 machines at this location can remain logged in. Move away from the page on which the login was performed, and you're logged out. However, others not at this location are able to retain logins. I shudder to think that it's a HughesNet issue (the very best of clueless Indian support), but that's the only thing that's unique to us and common to the 3 machines here. The HughesNet rig is an HN7000S into a NetGear Ethernet Switch. I have no clue about where to start troubleshooting. Thanks for any thoughts. -- Best regards, Curt http://FiberyCo-Op.com http://TheGreyhoundSagas.com http://keepthefleece.org Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing. ~John F.

Well it works for me here, so I'd guess it is your local setup. Check you have cookies enabled on your browsers would be the first step. Regards Mark On Sun, Jun 7, 2009 at 9:18 PM, Curt at Down in the Country < curt(a)downinthecountry.com> wrote:

Hello Mark, Yes--we have absolutely no problems with other session-based apps. Note that it's ALL browsers on ALL machines! I've looked at the cookies here and compared to the session ID stored by MediaWiki--they agree. I've get an identical installation locally that allows me to see what session data looks like in a working installation (absolutely no problems with the local install, so whatever support MediaWiki needs from browsers is obviously in place). -- Best regards, Curt http://FiberyCo-Op.com http://TheGreyhoundSagas.com http://keepthefleece.org It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them. ~Mark Twain Sunday, June 7, 2009, 5:07:05 PM, you wrote:

This is something that a sysadmin could enforce on machines so doesnt really mean anything.

Well as the wiki works for me and it looks at least one other person it would seem that the issue is with your end, ie your machines and their setup. This isnt really suitable for this list, maybe try that tech support? Regards Mark

Hello Mark, Thanks. I built and run the local network; all machines successfully run the local MediaWiki install. So, there's no other "tech support" here. I'll scrounge around the HughesNet streets to see if I can get any further ideas. -- Best regards, Curt http://FiberyCo-Op.com http://TheGreyhoundSagas.com http://keepthefleece.org When ideas fail, words come in very handy. - Goethe Sunday, June 7, 2009, 5:32:03 PM, you wrote:

How is the session name created? It doesn't seem like the standard generator.

Once one has been shown the problem, the solution is often simple: http://www.justbroadband.org/faq/13533 Thanks to all who thought about this problem. -- Best regards, Curt http://FiberyCo-Op.com http://TheGreyhoundSagas.com http://keepthefleece.org I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. ~Umberto Eco Monday, June 8, 2009, 6:01:15 AM, you wrote:
