    Hi All,

    I've got phpwiki 1.3.11 installed and running.

    I kept having the user revert to the admin user on every page change. The message at the bottom of the page would switch to:

    You are signed but not authenticated as QuasarWikiSysop

    The wiki name is QuasarWiki

    I have a sym link from the apache directory to the instalation location of phpwiki.

    /example.com/quasar-wiki -> /install/location/of/phpwiki

    If I change the link to anything else, such as:
    /example.com/quasarwiki -> /install/location/of/phpwiki

    Then users stay logged in!

    Getting rid of the '-' makes it work! What is up with that? How weird...

    I hope someone can help me out here.

    Thanks!

    John E. A.

      Very interesting observation!

      So "-" in pathnames doesn't keep PHP sessions. Best would be to file that as bug report. First here, and if it's an error on the PHP side I'll file at the PHP bugtracker.

      This is more confusing than it first seemed.

      I've created quite a few different links to the same phpWiki install directory. All of them work except one!

      I've created the following links:

      quasar-wiki@
      quasarwiki@
      quasar+wiki@
      quasar-wiki2@
      quas-arwiki@
      9uasar-wiki@
      Quasar-wiki@
      test-wiki@
      testwiki@

      The only one that doesn't work is:

      quasar-wiki@

      Whenever I surf the wiki via this link, session info is lost. Via all other links, the authenticated user is maintained correctly.

      If you're interrested in seeing this first hand please send me a private message and I'll provide the url for this wiki.

      Thanks for any insight...
