I had this weird bug when using squirrelmail that when I first try to login, I got an errormessage telling me the the user did not exist. The second time the login did work. I really had no idea what was causing this problem and I really tried almost everything that I could find on this mailinglist.
Yeah, i tried the session.auto_start = 1 in the PHP configuration and a lot of other stuff, but it all didn't work for me. Just today I finally noticed what the problem was. The url i'm using has an underscore ( _ ) and when logging into squirrelmail users get redirected from index.php to src/login.php. This redirect adjusts the underscore to a '%5' in my url. Now when users try to log in, it doesn't work, the user/login is not recognized. But when they click on the link to return to the loginpage, the URL is restored with the underscore in it. When they then try to login again, their credentials are excepted. I'm using: W2k3 - IIS 6.0 PHP 4.4.0 SM 1.4.5 MS Exchange 2000 / hMailServer Just maybe there are more illegal tokens that are translated bij the redirect of the index.php. I believe that this problem is platform and webserver independent and I hope this is a useful hint for some of you out there.
