So I just got the link for the x3 beta and after uploading and editing the config.php for login credentials when I try to login to /panel it seems to just refresh the page... If I enter the wrong information purposefully I get an error msg about wrong credentials but entering the same information I have placed in the config.php the page just refreshes when I submit bringing me right back to the login. I have run the /check and the only thing that seems off is under "SERVER_ADDR" it is returning "Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_ADDR in /hermes/bosnaweb05a/b2506/nf.tekphotos/public_html/v3/check/index.php on line 522" don't know if it has anything to do with me being unable to login to the /panel section. Everything else seems to be working fine as far as the demo goes.

Hmm, I can't imagine it is related to server_address, and everything else seems ok including the mcrypt extension required by the panel to encrypt logins.

To be able to diagnose further, I will need FTP login ...

Sent you a PM

I checked the panel error log, and I have definitely located the issue. Every login-based PHP application, including the X3 panel, relies on PHP sessions to store the current login-session. If it is broken, the login will be accepted, but on the next page, the login is already forgotten ... Thus you are redirected back to the login page again.

I am not quite sure what is wrong, but you need to contact your hosting service about this. Either there is a non-standard path, or permissions are not set correctly for writing to the sessions folder.

Looks like the link I sent you in my last PM worked I had to modify my php.ini and set the php_session save path to one local to my directory on my shared hosting plan. Thank you for looking into it and guiding me in the right direction.

Nice. I assume it works now then? Thanks for sharing.
