[solved]ionaut logout and login redirect problems

[eluser]Cgull[/eluser]
Hello,

I am using codeigniter 2.1.3
ionauth: benedmunds-CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth-0629c89

I have create a controller in a libraries folder:

Code:

class Admin_Controller extends MY_Controller
{
  function __construct()
  {
    parent:: __construct();
    $this->load->library('session');
    $this->load->library('ion_auth');


    if( !$this->ion_auth->logged_in())
      redirect(site_url() . 'auth/login');
  }
}

Then I created a controller called dashboard that extends the Admin_Controller:

Code:

class Dashboard extends Admin_Controller
{
  public function __construct()
  {
    parent:: __construct();
  }

  public function index()
  {
    $this->data['subview'] = 'admin/dashboard/index';
    $this->load->view('admin/_layout_main', $this->data);
  }

  public function modal()
  {
    $this->load->view('admin/_layout_modal', $this->data);
  }
}

In the login view I print the session and if the user is logged in I echo 'yes':

Code:

<h3>Login</h3>
&lt;?php echo $this->ion_auth->logged_in() ? 'yes' : 'no';
echo 'Session ' . $this->session->userdata('user_id');
?&gt;

I have restarted my computer.

When I go to: localhost/mysite/admin/dashboard:
I go into the dashboard without loggin in.

When I click the logout link:

Code:

&lt;?php echo anchor('auth/logout', '<i class="icon-off"></i> Logout'); ?&gt;

I get the login screen and the variables that I echo are 'yes' and session is empty.

I don't see any errors, and the ci_sessions table is empty.

When I try to login with the right login details, the screen just goes back to the login screen.

Why am I not logged out when pressing the logout link?
And why when I login I am redirected to the login screen again?

Thank you

The solution:

After hours of breaking my head, I realised php does not really connects to the database.

I had WAMP installed on my machine and yesterday I decided to be brave and install php/apache/mysql manually following a tutorial I found online.

Everything seemed to work fine but I guess it didn't.

Installed WAMP again and everything is fine now.

That'll teach me...
