Hi all,

for some reason I cant log into a old site of mine. When I write the right username/password I simply get the login page again (with empty fields for username/password). When I give in something wrong (deliberatly) I get the standard error-message.

Any advice?

Hi Felix,

I think there are many possible issues to check that produce the kind of error you mention. It happened to me several times, and seems to happen when you have some kind of trouble in the database, and eZ doesn't know how to handle.

First of all, try running a mysqlcheck command with the database, in order to repair it.

JP,
may the source be with you.

Hi Juan,

thank you for your tip. The mysqlcheck did the trick!

I got the same problem when i moved a site from one server to another.
But i found out why. First I thaugt that i could have something to do with the configuration of the apache or the eZ ini files. But i realized that it must be something with the session management. A quick look in the php.ini file confirmed that.

An variable in php.ini goes by the name "session.cookie_domain =". The value of the variable on my site did not match the site name.
The solution for me,- I deleted the value so the line was just "session.cookie_domain =". Of course it is some security by this entry but i did not find out how to add more than one domain.

I run eZ publish version 3.6.5, PhP 4.3.1 and Apache 2.0.54.

Hi,

Just in case anybody else comes through a similar situation the reason this happens can really vary from case to case. In my case when I had the same exact problem after checking the log files it seemed to be a memory allocation issue with php. We just increased the php memory allocation and the site worked perfectly again.

Hope this helps someone.

Regards,
Fabricio
