I started having an issue today on what has been a very stable install of drupal 4.7 where by when I login using the administrator account I am automatically logged out. Upon logging in I am not given any kind of error message until I try to access something that normally the admin only has access to. The reason I believe I am being automatically logged out is that the url changes to http://www.example.com/user/1?time=1212373051

I have been looking for other users with this problem and the closest thing I have seen is this patch: http://drupal.org/node/60584 However, this patch did nothing for me. I have also update the global redirect module to the most recent as another most I read said it could cause problems similar to those I am describing.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks!

what version of 4.7 ?

I vaugely remember this problem and it being fixed in a later release.....

you are in waters with very few swimmers these days as there aren't many support people using 4.7.x any longer.

I also have this problem, I think it's because of the PHP version. Try upgrade to the newest 4.7.

Ananto: did upgrading to a new version of PHP work for you?

I think this problem appear because my hosting upgrade their PHP version. That's why I must upgrade my Drupal to the newest 4.7.

Ananto: thanks for the suggestion. It turns out that my web host upgraded PHP to version 5.x and thus changing how sessions are handled. From reading a little more about drupal it appears as though I will need to upgrade to version 5.x.

Thanks for the replies!

passwords are held in the user table and are MD5 hashed.
