[Phpwiki-talk] admin.php problem

[Russell J. <rj...@my...>]

Hello,

 

I have a cPanel/Fantastico client who has installed PhpWiki 1.2.10 and
cannot log into the admin.php page.  The problem lies in $PHP_AUTH_USER and
$PHP_AUTH_PW.  Both of those variables are empty after attempting to enter
the username/password in the HTTP authentication box.

 

Because of the variable emptiness the conditionals of course fail.  The
conditionals I'm referring to are:

 

// From the manual, Chapter 16   

if (($PHP_AUTH_USER != $wikiadmin  )  ||

    ($PHP_AUTH_PW   != $adminpasswd)) {

 

As a result no matter what I try the following executes:

 

echo gettext("You entered an invalid login or password.");

exit;

 

I suspect there is some sort of server, perhaps simply php, configuration
which is preventing those two variables from being populated.  If someone
can please shed some light on my issue I will be extremely grateful.

 

Russell
