[mod_python] Sessions & user management

Hello graham

The problem had something to do with apache not running correctly on windows vista. After I reinstalled apache following some guide for vista it's working as intended now.
I'm gonna try it on windows xp now as well, which hopefully shouldn't be that troublesome!

Greetings
Dominique

What is the Satisfy directive in Apache configuration set to?

A bit more information about what URLs you are using, what you are seeing happen etc, would help otherwise can only guess.
