Sure, thanks for your response.
Here are the logs for my workstation (winXP Pro, SP1, IIS 5.1, MySQL
3.23.49, PHP 4.3.7) running Eventum:

It is not accessible from any workstation.
I don't know if this is related, but I get the following errors while doing
the installation on the Windows machine:
http://localhost/eventum/setup/index.php
Notice: Undefined index: DOCUMENT_ROOT in D:\apps\eventum\setup\index.php on
line 413
Notice: Undefined index: DOCUMENT_ROOT in D:\apps\eventum\setup\index.php on
line 416
But the rest of the page shows fine, and it lets me proceed.
>Are you sure that you don't have any anti-virus or firewall software

Yes, I checked the following things:
- No firewall.
- No Windows basic TCP/IP filtering.
- Symantec Antivirus enabled or disabled makes no difference.
- Up-to-date patches: XP with SP1 and all the new security updates required
by Microsoft so far.
- Correct time and date.
If I access (from the same machine) an eventum site on a linux server, I
have no issues with the cookies.

That is correct. I was having trouble with the Windows installation, so I
ended up installing it on RH9/Apache.
However, the issue with the 2nd workstation trying to access the RH9 server
is now finally solved. The time was off on the workstation. Perhaps in
the future, the cookie error message could include the issue about the time,
so that users check that as well. It would simplify things a lot.
So, just to recap, the installation works only if running off a Linux
server. That is, the IIS installation seems to run, but it gives the
"cookies not enabled" error, which virtually leaves everyone locked out of
the site.
Thanks for the help.
