mantis working at first instance only until restart apache

[sameerj]

I migrate a mantis database on another machine.
mantis version is same at both places - 1.1.8.
but for installing Mantis, i used xampp (bundled apache, php, perl and mysql)

Now when i starting mantis by giving username & password, this first session works fine.
But when i am getting logout or close the window, and thereafter start second session, it won't work. IE showing message "waiting for ----" and it's keep showing for long time. it never comes.

but if i restarted apache server, then it's works fine again for first time.

Another observation is -
1) start Apache server.
2) If user start mantis after 20-25 minutes, he will face same problem. (not getting login page)

Currently i am trying to access from that PC only -- "http://localhost/mantis".

What would be the problem?

Any fix or workaround for this issue? (I´m experimenting the same problem)

there is not enough information to give a real good advice,
my speculation: you are using PHP 5.3 , give a try to 5.2.x

[Z.I.P.]

Absolutely the same problem. (using php 5.3.1)

Is downgrading php really helps?

[atrol]

at least this
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=11255
should be warning enough to use 5.2

[Z.I.P.]

I've downladed the latest version (1.2 rc2) but still the same thing... is php version also actual for mantis 1.2?

[atrol]

Looking at the forum and the bugtracker, it seems that there are also problems with 1.2

Until now I am not able to reproduce any of these problems. Not with 1.1.8, not with 1.2 (but always fresh empty installations and not using any email stuff)
I tried with XAMPP 1.7.3 where PHP 5.3.1 is included to have a platform which can be easily setup by developers.

Some more of this PHP 5.3 stuff

Every detail which is given by users could help to find the bug behind this problem.

[Z.I.P.]

I've installed Mantis 1.2 at two devices -
1) Mac OS X 10.5.8 - XAMPP 1.7.2a - works fine about a month
2) Win 2003 Server - XAMPP 1.7.3 - works fine about 5-20 min after apache restart

If adiitional details will be needed, I'm ready to send them.

According to tips given in 0011535 by bmencke ,

Commenting following lines in core/authentication_api.php:

396: /*if( $p_method !== null ) {
397: $t_login_method = $p_method;
398: }*/

it seems to be working.

but what is side effect of this
or anybody have different solution other than this?
