Admin Login Loop

[Guest]

I am having a problem with logging into admin....

 

the login screen appears.

I type in my information (which I KNOW is correct).

Hit enter and it looks as though it will log you in, but it returns to the same login page.

 

I've searched around for a fix and the advice that keeps showing up is to check the following setting in admin/confg:

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

I have it set as above and it has not resolved the problem.

 

Any suggestions?

What does your configure file look like?

For the fun of it, after backing up the file, try commenting out the following code in admin/includes/application_top.php and see if you can log in:

 

// redirect to login page if administrator is not yet logged in

if (!tep_session_is_registered('admin')) {

$redirect = false;

 

$current_page = basename($PHP_SELF);

 

if ($current_page != FILENAME_LOGIN) {

if (!tep_session_is_registered('redirect_origin')) {

tep_session_register('redirect_origin');

 

$redirect_origin = array('page' => $current_page,

'get' => $HTTP_GET_VARS);

}

 

$redirect = true;

}

 

if ($redirect == true) {

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN));

}

 

unset($redirect);

Same deal. Stuck in that login loop :(

Still having this problem :(

 

What files would be handling the admin login? I am thinking that I should take the files from a fresh osc and try to work that way. I'm just not sure which files are responsible for the login besides app top and html output.

[Guest]

Is there anyone that has any ideas on this problem?

You could try using your control panel to access the database and look at the administrators table to verify the user name. Maybe try resetting the password (do a Google search and you should find threads on how to do that).

this line looks wrong in your configure.php

 

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/xxx/admin/');

Your catalog is not your admin

I believe I am having a similar problem. When I try to go to www.mysite.com/estore/admin I get this returned by Google Chrome:

 

This webpage has a redirect loop.

 

The webpage at http://www.mysite.com/estore/admin/login.php has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

 

I am including my /admin/configure.php file and the other configure.php file in that order.

I know this is a bit late reply (more than 1 year old topic) BUT I also know that people who have this problem visit this topic (like me), so this is what helped me:

 

Create a php-file in /catalog/admin, for example 'fix.php' and make the file contain this code:

<?php
$HTTP_GET_VARS =& $_GET;
$HTTP_POST_VARS =& $_POST;
$HTTP_ENV_VARS =& $_ENV;
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS =& $_SERVER;
$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS =& $_COOKIE;
$_REQUEST = array_merge($_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE);
?>

 

At the top of the /catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php (right after the <?php) paste this code:

require('fix.php');

 

Try it, it was my solution when moving a webshop to another server. (I had to do this in the catalog, too). It's no guarantee, the problem can also have other causes.
