I've just installed 1.5. on a Windows based server but my users are unable to log in and access content.
I've checked my database. All the accounts have been created. The login and/or logout activity is being recorded but the pages and content are not being displayed.
This problem affects my admin account as well.

I'd guess your php configuration has sessions disabled. Enter "session cookies" into the search box, top right.

Where do I find the php.ini files?
2005-12-09 13:10:07
Use search to find it.

Session cookies are enabled. I'm on a windows sever, and my support team reports they are enabled.
It looks like the program is writing all the cookies to the server.
I have a lot of files that start with "sess_" and then a lot of letters and numbers scattered through-out my file system.

Attach a copy of the output from phpinfo().
Create, then open a file in your browser with the following 3 lines
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
and attached a copy of your config.inc.php file (with the user info removed)
Session info gets written to the /tmp directory (usually). There should not be files from ATutor created throughout your files system.

Attached is my phpinfo. (my config info is included below the closing HTML tag)
I think you've indentified the problem.
I do not have anything in the cache line of the config file. I do not have a "Temp" directory in my file structure.
Here's what my cache definition line looks like
define('CACHE_DIR', '');
My content definition line looks like this
define('AT_CONTENT_DIR', 'D:\\hshome\\josephco\\content\\');

The session cookie path should be C:\\tmp, and that directory needs to be writable.
Also, IIS is not the best webserver for running PHP. I would expect you'll to run into other problems as well. Apache is recommended

Not able to change the session.cookie_path in the PHP setup.
Is there a place in the ATutor script to direct the program to use another directory for the session cookies?

There is probably not much you can do unless your provider is willing you make the adjustments. ATutor runs on default settings, so when things like this occur, it generally means the default settings have been changed, or the server has not been setup properly.
As I'd mentioned, you probably want to find a host using Apache as their web server. IIS is not stable enough with PHP to use it as the Webserver for a production ATutor environment. If apache were being used in this case, you might be able to set the session cookie path to something local in your web space using an .htaccess for containing a php_flag (use the search to find more info about these)
