Cann't change/alter administration

[SiHo]

Hi folks
I can't change configuration and weblogs (may be others too, I didn't try) in administation area (v2.3.3 flat files).
Saving seems to operate but there is no effect oat the startpage (latest FF + IE).
Some ideas ?

Are you possibly on PHP 5.4? http://forum.pivotx.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2905

I just changed to PHP 5.3.8 - No positv result !?
So what PHP is best ?

[Harm10]

There is no best version or so. I just referred to problems that arose with that (new) version.

Do you have messages in your logs?

[SiHo]

There are no errors by pivotx in domain log.
Are there some 'must be'-settings in PHP-ini ?

BTW: Thanks for Your patience

Try to follow instructions (and run the check) described here: http://book.pivotx.net/page/app-e

[SiHo]

Check was all green.
Fully deleted pivotx - Loaded up new - cmoded 755 (exept requested 777-dirs/files) - Check is green too
But:
- no admin changes are written to server
- some selections in admin menue switches to a new admin login

- no admin changes are written to server

Do not understand what you mean by this.

Did you have a previous version of PivotX running? Maybe you could try the previous version 2.3.2 to determine whether this is PivotX or server related? You can find it here: http://pivotx.net/files/

This is most likely because of a cookie problem. Either the cookie is just wrong and you need to log out and log in again (or try from another computer/browser) or your firewall is modifying the cookies. Are you being logged out by PivotX when you try to change the configuration? If so, it's the CSRF protection.
