  • Problem with login and logout

    Posted 13 years 11 months ago
    • I am having a serious issue with the login / logout functionality in my Joomla 1.5.23 website.

      When I try to login from the frontpage of the website, I am not able to do so...it only works if I navigate to any menu item/level first and then try to login...

      Also, I can only logout using the usermenu logout option...the logout button of the mod_login module does not seem to work at all

      It seems to be a problem with the mod_login module...

      I don't know what caused it or when...
      ...the only thing I can think about is that earlier yesterday I installed the " Encrypt Configuration " extension, I then tested to see if it works and then I noticed the problem.I have contacted the developer of this extensions and he says that if his component/plugin has been uninstalled, then it cannot be at fault for this behaviour.

      I've also installed/uninstalled two components, Ninjaboard and Qlue 404...

      I have HOTLogin plugin installed, which puts the mod_login module in a frame and binds it to the top of the page, but it did function properly in the past (same extension version) ...I did try both disabling it and uninstalling it, thereby using the "standalone" mod_login module, but it did not make any difference...

      I had not logged in from the frontend for many days and when I did, I did so through Kunena forum, which works without issues (in fact I can also effectively log in and out using Kunena) so I cannot be sure which extension is to blame (if an extension is to blame)...

      So, in order to determine whether any file had been changed or deleted during the installing uninstalling of extensions, I compared two different backups of the site, one of yesterday and one two days before, before any extensions where tested, specifically I compared all the contents of the public_html directory between the two backups with WinMerge, but they were identical...

      Could the error could be in the MySQL databases? Is there a tool I can use to compare two different versions of the databases?
      EDIT
      Figured out that I can also check the databases through WinMerge...what a genious huh?

      Still no important difference as far as I can tell, only some differences in "auto-increment" values and some related to the usage between the two time points...

      Any help would be much appreciated

    • Just to complicate thing even more...

      Since I had compared the mod_login's files with that of an earlier backup and they were shown to be identical, I had some doubts as to whether a solution proposed to me, overwriting the newer files for the module with the older ones, would have any effect.

      So I installed Kunena's Login Module and guess what, I can't login from the frontpage with that module either!!

      I am starting to worry a bit, because this seems highly strange

      Any ideas?

      EDIT

      Login doesn't even work in the site offline page...it won't log an administrator in

    • Problem resolved...as curiously as it first came about...

      It seems a permanent redirection code I had put in my .htaccess file and which had been working without issue for some time was causing the error.

      The code is
      RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.php$ http://www.some-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

      I repeat this code had been working flawlessly until ??? I don't know when exactly...software wise, the only major change was the upgrade to J1.5.23 from .22 version...

      For more info you can look at the other thread where this code was first proposed...
