Can't create admin login in setup

[pSouper]

would you repost your config.inc.php if it has been changed from the one above please.
and try adding or removing the final / from the $phpwcms["root"]
see what that gives you

[pSouper]

and you did change the "PHYSICAL DRIVE PATH TO ROOT DIR" in the line...

define ("PHPWCMS_ROOT", "PHYSICAL DRIVE PATH TO ROOT DIR".(($phpwcms["root"]) ? "/".$phpwcms["root"] : "") ); // DOCUMENT_ROOT + phpwcms directory

also could you try login in 2/3 time in succession to see if that will eventually let you in please (soundes crazy but I have had this problem)

and are you using dyndns or simmilar dns forwarding service at all?

[cmslover]

Yes, I changed the path as : /hsphere/local/home/xx/domain
also tried /hsphere/local/home/xx/domain/test
Tried at least 10 times more but still remain at the login page after hit login ( no login error at all )

About DNS forwarding, I'm not really sure about it, maybe, how to find out and how to fix it, do you have a solution?

Ah, one thing: Long before I installed another cms at HOME directory and when someone goes to mydomain.com, he will be redirect to that Home directory.
Now I install phpWCMS at TEST directory with sitename as mydomain.com/ ; root as TEST do you think it is an forwarding issue?

Thanks much for your help!

1:
DNS forwarding, for example >
I buy a domain name (myDomain.net) without hosting from 'NetworkSolutions' and have a connection from 'myBroadbandSupplier' but no suitable webspace and a Dynamic IP address so telling Networksoultions to redirect myDomain.net to my IP is not going to work (before long my IPAddress will change).
Solution: I setup an account with a DNS forwarding service such as DynDns.org, tell network solutions to redirect myDomain.net to myDomain.dyndns.net and install a small client app on my home server to keep dyndns updated automatically everytime my IP address changes.
I am then free to use apache/iis and now have a home server with all the space my hdd can spare with and all the plugins and apps I want to use. no more tears

2: now in relation to your problem.. If you were using a DNS redirecting service you may need to use myDomain.dyndns.net in your conf.inc.php and not myDomain.net as this can and most likely will not work as expected.
