[pmwiki-users] Repeated prompts for passwords?

[Jeff Henry]

Thank you both for the replies.

I've gone through the two suggestions from the troubleshooting page, and
have had no luck so far. According to the phpinfo page, sessions are
enabled, and do have a "reasonable" path specified. I didn't see any of the
functions mentioned in the second link in my config.php, and I tried making
a copy of my config.php with all of the included recipes commented out, and
still have the problem.

If I open dev mode in Firefox, I can see the PHPSESSID and its value. If I
go to another page that requires the login, I see that the session ID in
the cooking remains the same. So it seems that the session is being
maintained?

Not sure what else to look at now.

Thanks,
