can't stay logged in to admin

[amac44]

My site has been up for several years and I've never had this problem before.  I log in, the system authenticates me and I see the admin start page OK.  But if I click anything (Pages, for example) the system kicks me out.  It is very frustrating. 

Currently running v2.8.1 rev. 1287.

Thanks

Session Support is enabled and the sessions have a lifetime at least as long as the cookies?

cheers

Session support is enabled.

session.cookie_life time is 0 (means 'until browser closed')

So that should be good?  I'm looking at these in phpinfo() output.

I'm having the same problem, keep losing sessions mid-editing.  Firefox or Safari.  First noticed this about 2 weeks intermittently ago?  Seems to be worse now.

Apologies, check the server side please, and you still haven't answered my questions Additionally try to enable the smartlogin feature.

cheers

For me, Smart Login is already enabled.  I said

Session support is enabled.

session.cookie_life time is 0 (means 'until browser closed')

Does that answer your questions?  If not then I don't understand your questions.  But I can be a little dense.

Sorry, I mixed up some Threads, you did indeed answer. Still could you check the session lifetime in the PHP.ini?

cheers

Session lifetime looks the same in php.ini .

Maybe nturner above can cofirm his settings too.

Thanks

Sorry for delay, cycling. 
Session support enabled.
Smart login was not enabled, will enable it but amac44's comment noted. 
session.cookie_life time is 0

[amac44]

So I wonder what the deal is.  I'll keep looking at this as I'm able but if anyone has more thoughts, do share.  The intermittent-ness of it is what's puzzling to me.  I'm in a shared hosting environment, I don't know why that would affect it though.

no further idea here, we would need to have a whole load of more information about the Webspace and it's configuration. Stuff like Versions of Software packages, etc ...

cheers

Hello!

Could you perhaps copy & paste your whole "session" phpinfo() output?
Do you have WebsiteBaker installed on a subdomain (like wb.domain.xy)?
Have you tried another browser / cleared your browser cache & cookies for that domains?
There should be some "_REQUEST["wb_xxxx_session_id"]" in phpinfo() - do you find that?
Could you locate this wb_xxxx_session_id (xxxx is some 4-digit number) also in
Apache Environment -> HTTP_COOKIE and in HTTP Headers Information -> Cookie inside your phpinfo()?
Is WDDX Session Serializer enabled?

Just some ideas...

Yours Michael

php info temporarily available at http://www.edren.org/whatphp.php
Which shows
wddx enabled
_REQUEST["wb_9110_session_id"]   57e63addb6ab8395efa457d758f83151

Browser doesn't seem to influence - at least occurs in both Safari and Firefox on several different Macs. 

wb 2.8.1 revision 1285
www.edren.org is installed in the root folder

Same problem with www.edrep.org, a different installation with the same ISP, www.webfusion.co.uk.   
Anyone any ideas?
