Under a new install of phpGroupWare on WindowsXP Pro, 
with Apache2, PHP4
and MySQL, I could run through the setup/configuration 
routines, but can't login to phpGroupWare itself (both 
the "admin" account
and "demo" accounts fail). I get no explicit error 
message, just a refreshed
"login.php" page with a "code=5" added in the URL 
(i.e.,
http://www.abc.com/phpgroupware/login.php?code=5).

I successfully:
1) ran the header configuration for my database 
connection; and
2) ran the setup/configuration routine to install my 
apps (had to run
through this a couple of times to work through 
dependencies among the apps
but all seems OK); and
3) setup the "admin" and 3 "demo" users.

I have inspected the MySQL database and confirmed that 
the setup module did in
fact build the tables and add records for the apps and 
for the users. I have
tweaked about every setup and header parameter I can 
think of and still the
same result. I'm trying to run the authentication 
through MySQL and have
tried with cookies and without. Have tried both php-
sessions and db
sessions, etc...no luck. Have also uninstalled all 
apps, reinstalled them and also recreated admin/demo 
accounts, but no difference.

Further inspection of the MySQL tables show no "last 
login" for any of the
users, so evidently the MySQL authentication is 
failing hard. I gather from
the archived posts that Apache2 is "iffy" but I really 
want to use it as I
have other apps running on it well. Is the problem 
more likely to be in the
PHP settings (if so I can share my phpinfo results)?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
