Testlink 1.8.4 login.php?note=expired SOLUTION

[markfir]

Hey

It took me two days to track down this problem and I found out that I can login without a problem from the browser I have installed the TL from. Hence there was a session I got from /install/index.php which solved the problem.

So if any of you who wants a simple workaround - go to TL_HOME/install/index.php, and then browse to TL_HOME/index.php and login. That worked for me.

But there is another simple solution, which involves php code edit. Very basic one.

In /testlink/lib/functions/common.php find
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Function start session
*/
function doSessionStart()
{
session_set_cookie_params(99999);

if(!isset($_SESSION))
session_start();
}

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now edit it to leave only:// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Function start session
*/
function doSessionStart()
{

session_start();
}

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Worked like a magic for me

Thanks for digging into the solution. I hoe the info helps to other users who have problem, but interestingly when i installed testlink1.8.4, i did not face this problem

I have the same problem with installation 1.8.5. But this solution didn't work for me. Only accessing the install folder before...

Anyone knows why this problem occurs?

I have exactly the same problem (only with IE7, it works with Firefox 3.6.2) with version 1.8.5 (it was working correctly with version 1.7.5).

I have tried the solution proposed and it does not solve my problem.
Thanks for your help.
