[pmwiki-devel] asks password everytime i click edit

[Abhishek Gupta]

Hi Patrick,
One difference that I saw in the session file is that the session file created with the older version(working fine) has password embedded in it where as the newer one(not working fine) has no password string in it.
This might be the reason that it is prompting me for the password again and again.
Is there any way I could make sure the session file gets the password?
Thanks,
Abhi.

Check the ownership of the files in the two wiki.d/ directories.
If the files have different ownerships, then PHP is running
under different userids and there's a conflict with sessions
between the two sites.

Also look to see if the files in /var/lib/php/session are all
owned by the same user ("nobody" or "apache") or if they're all
different.

You could also try setting each wiki to have it's own session ID --
at the very beginning of local/config.php, add

    session_name('TestDR');

This will cause the two wikis to use separate cookies for each wiki's
session.
