joomla login problem

[abhi666]

hello
As soon as i login after a few seconds i.e when i try to click on any option, i am asked to login again. I asked it in the joomla forum they told me to request the host to check whether sessions.save_path directory is writable and make it writable if not.
plz do that for me my account id id abhi666

maybe your cookies are corupt. or your browser does not store the cookies on your PC. check this by going to Tools, internet Options, Browsing History> settings, and see how much disk space is being used. IM not sure thuogh. It might be your Joomla version. But if you are loging into the admin cp after loging in, you are required by the settings to log in again, unless you changed that...

It should be done regard to php.ini file. So only administrators can do it.
OTHERWISE try on this way ->
If nothing will helpful, then backup your full site with mySQL database
after it Delete your joomla installation.
Re install it again and restore the database

you can back up MYSQL databases in Cpanel. look for the option that says backup databases, or somthing along those lines

You may post here http://forums.x10hosting.com/free-hosting/ , but indicate that you have problem with sessions.save_path directory problem. Don't start the thread with Joomla, but start with sessions.save_path directory problem. So the administrators could see your post and make a respond.
