myspace-scripts.com Layout CMS trouble??

[Selena]

so I ordered the layout cms from myspace-scripts.com and everything worked fine, until i tried to login to my admin cp. It just keeps reloading the login page whenever i click login.

I'm wondering if anyone else has ordered this script and is having or has had this problem and knows how to fix it?

Is there an sql file you have to run to create any database tables? That might be it, I'm not sure, sorry!

I don't think that site makes it's own scripts, rather buys them from other sites and and probably charges double the price, I may be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Selena, I don't have this CMS but it sounds like a .htaccess problem. Some web hosts are weird about overwriting the file.

Check to make sure you have this line in your .htaccess file: php_flag register_globals on

If you find that your host is overwriting your .htaccess (it will say so inside the file), you can use a php.ini file for this. If you don't have one, you can grab it here (http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php4.fubar/php.ini-recommended?revision=1.140).

Inside this file, find:
register_globals = Off

and change it to:
register_globals = On

Make sure the php.ini file is in the same directory as the root to your CMS.

Using one of the above methods should technically fix your problem if it's not a problem with the script itself.

well i tried turning them on using the .htaccess file and it completely screwed up my site. I have paid a programmer 40 dollars to go through and redo the code. He told me the code is written very poorly, as well it is very insecure. He is rewriting it so that register globals dont have to be on. He works really fast and as it turns out he fixed the login problem in the time it took me for the myspace-scripts representative to email me back. I sent myspace scripts a rather complaining email telling them how not-pleased i was with this script and that i suggest they fix it.

I poked around in the admin demo after you posted the link. Agreed it looks pretty poorly written. I don't know why, but all of the resource scripts I've seen always write code where register globals has to be turned on.

I had a similar problem with a different resource script, but I used the php.ini solution to get it fixed. The script was so poorly written that I just scrapped it and I'm starting from scratch.

well im at least glad i found a programmer nice enough to work with me on this.
he could've charged me so much more for it, sinc he charges 25$ per hour. But he was very nice about it and is workig me out a deal. I'm really glad that my register globals don't have to be turned on now.
