I can't log in to the admin section!

[snworks]

Greets,

 

I am able to reset my password no problem using the Forgot Password option. I get an email. I have a new password. I use it and the email address that was assigned to it. I get no errors, it simply refreshes the page and I am staring at a username and password box. If I use the wrong password purposefully, I get an invalid username and password error.

 

Please someone help.

 

Thanks,

Tom

How are you protecting your admin? What method are you using?

The site is running on a win2k server with no special permissions. When I go to login.php in the admin section, enter the correct info and try to login, it simply returns me back to login.php

No one else is having this problem?

The people who usually have this problem are those who have the wrong cookie domain setting in their configure.php files e.g

 

www.yourdomain.com = right

http://www.yourdomain.com = wrong

 

Give that a try and see if it works.

I have checked the configuration files and they read as follows:

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mydomain.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mydomain.com');

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks

While we're at it... Vger, I think you could help me here...

 

My provider proxies me through one of HIS SSL Certs via

 

https://ssl-account.com/mydomain.net/

 

instead of

 

https://mydomain.net/

 

I've had SOME problems with that already. Do I assume correctly the cookie domains should be like this:

 

(from /catalog/includes/configure.php)

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mydomain.net');
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ssl-account.com/mydomain.net');
 define('ENABLE_SSL', true);
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mydomain.net');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'ssl-account.com'); // ???
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/mydomain.net/catalog/'); // ???
 define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

 

Thanks for helping!

What version is THAT, Tom? I don't even have a 'login.php' here?! (Still using good old .htaccess)

[♥Vger]

I would try leaving this part blank (it's not your domain)

 

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); //

 

and I would use this setting for this line

 

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/'); //

 

Give those a try and get back if it doesn't work.

What you are describing is the 'Login as a customer' feature on the website itself, and not the Login to the osCommerce 'admin' folder.

in your admin folder, try finding a file called .htaccess, and deleting it. I had that problem and it told me I had server troubles etc, so I deleted the file and now it works great.

I looked for the htaccess file in the admin folder, there was not one there. I also tried to set the following variables as follows:

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

Still no luck. Just to be clear, I am trying to login to the admin section. The customer login on the site works fine, its just when I go to mysite.com/catalog/admin. I can enter in the correct info, it doesnt give an error, it just returns right back to the login screen. I appreciate the help guys.

Hey Guys,

 

I still have been unable to resolve this issue, any more suggestions?

 

Thanks
