phpwiki (outdated applicaiton)

[Brian W]

Hey, what happened to the 3rd party board or am I blind? Move me if I am and accept my apology.

Any ways, my problem is with an application called phpwiki. I haven't found documentation on this application yet because it is old, their site is down, and other wikis kick its ass in functionality.

After I jumped over countless hurdles having to do with phpwiki using register_globals, I now have a problem with how it authenticates the users.

I get this message in the bottom corner when I log in even when I'm logged in as Admin:

You are signed but not authenticated as Admin.

This problem developed when the server the app is on upgraded to 5.2.6 from some version of 4.

I'm under the impression that the username is being stored in a cookie correctly, but I think the authorization level is stored some other way or rather it isn't being stored anymore.

It is on a Apache Server and their are some suggestions of it the app using http authentication

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The 1.3.9 version (from 2004) you are dealing with does not seem to be available for download on the sourceforge site, so it is not very likely that someone will be able to duplicate your symptoms or examine the same version of the code you are using unless you post it. You have also made modifications to the code that would affect if/how it executes. The latest .3 version is 1.3.14 (from 2007.) Have you tried that as it might correct the issues you are having.
