After a fine installation I got my first trouble:

After any action (clicking submit after changing password, entering any admin's place...) I am asked (again) for my user and password. I type them in (the ones that where sent by email) and go to the place that I wanted. The trouble itself isn't having to type my pass, the trouble is I can't change my password, add modules or do anything. When I click the submit button to apply the changes I have to login again and after that the changes are not done.

I work on a debian testing with apache2, mysql5 and php5.

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry about my horrible english.

Some session handling problems with PHP 5.2 were fixed recently. Update to 4.7.x-dev from the link on the right sidebar here.

... with the latest versions of everything.

Any other ideas?

you are sure you are running the 4.7.4 - dev version ? and not the 4.7.4 public release ?

you can get the 4.7.4 dev release (what will likely become drupal 4.7.5) from http://drupal.org/drupal-4.7.x-dev

you can manually patch Drupal to run properly on PHP 5.2
use PHP 5.2 as a search term and seek out the proper patches.

From the logs you can see whats happening - all the actions are as anon. It seems to be switching to the anon user. I'll check the patches ....

Two possible reasons mentioned in the Troubleshooting FAQ

http://drupal.org/node/77106

1. Cache problem: Disable Drupal's cache.
2. Login confusion with www vs no-www: Use an apache rewrite to use only one.
