Logout problem
When I click on sign out, the logout is been processed, but I dont get the login screen, instade of this the Account_Manager is schown. I must reload or click on sign out again to get the Account_Manager_Login. First I thought thats a cache problem but that isnt the problem. Then I tested different Browsers without a result. Then I examined the Login/Logout process but I dont find an error. At last I testet my old installation on a MS WinNT 4 Server with Apache 2 and there everythin works correktly.\ Can anyone give me a hint what to do to get AuctionAwy running corect on my current Webserver? I am using the folowing:\ \ SuSE Linux 9.2\ perl 5.008005\ AuctionAwy Version: 8.71 Build 052005\ \ GATEWAY_INTERFACE: CGI/1.1 \ HTTP_ACCEPT: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,\ application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash,\ application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, */* \ HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip, deflate \ HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE: de \ HTTP_CONNECTION: Keep-Alive \ HTTP_COOKIE: MSNetAuction_Admin_UserID=+*****; MSNetAuction_Admin_Password=+****** \ HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) \ PATH: /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin \ REQUEST_METHOD: GET \ SERVER_PORT: 80 \ SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.1 \ SERVER_SOFTWARE: Apache/2.0.50 (Linux/SUSE)

Re: Logout problem

The normal is when you logout you see the login form and the url must see something like this:

http://xxx.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?action=Account_Manager_Login&Lang=English

If you changed anything in the code then just restore the original cgi files.

Logout problem
I don’t change the code of the login / logout process, I just looked into the code, tried to understand what it does and found that it should work fine. I think it’s a problem with headers, cookies or something like this. Probably it’s a problem with my Apache configuration. But I don’t know Apache good enough to knew if that is right and what can I do to correct it.

the solution
I have solved the problem. If anyone has the same problem:\ \ I had given relative Paths (starting with /) to the CGI Directory URL and HTML Directory URL.\ I think that made that the browser didn’t identify the cookie and didn’t kill it.\ Now I use absolute paths (starting with http://) and everything works fine with the logout process.
