admin login

I ha e a problem with admin login too, I put in the correct CGIAuth info and get to the admin login page but after entering the correct admin info and the captcha it just loops back to the admin login page. It doesn't open the admin page. I can't log in as a user either.

Hi southern, did you changed your PHP-version before or something else on the server-config?

If not, open the config.php and set:

php Code:

$gfx_chk = 3; # New users registration only

After that, try to login as admin and also as user. If it's working fine, then you can close out issues with your login-data and you can set $gfx_chk back to your default value.

Now you can try to enable the error-reporting to check some PHP errors/warnings while login again. Don't forget to disable the error-reporting after testing your installation.

It isn't a captcha issue. The admin login page loops around and around no matter how often I put in login info. The user login starts to open the login form then sstops and there is nowhere to enter login info. It is two separate login issues.

southern, what did you changed before you got this issue? Without to know this, it's hard to help you.

Yes, it's been a long time papamike, too long. Would it affect logins if I exceeded my hosting quota? I will try to be more active.

I don't think I changed anything. It may be a corrupt file. I noticed the cgi auth codes in .htaccess had spaces and breaks which I fixed.

Looks like you fixed it. I just logged in. I sent you a PM.

Yeah. Could it be something in the old PMCCT theme I was using? I'll go look bye and bye. Smile

I tried the gfx_chk as you suggested and I was able to log in. Nothing has changed on my site for a long time.

It sounds like your hosting company has changed the PHP version. The captcha-class is failing on php7x.

You're making me feel old. PhP 7? My hosting is with glowhost. Won't the captcha have to be redesigned?

Can you please check your hosting account, which PHP version is using there?

OK. My host uses PhP 5.3.

Current PHP version: 5.3

Switch to a new host, or have them upgrade PHP. 5.3 reached its EOL in 2014.

Strange, this should work. So we can close out an issue with PHP7. Did you made changes on the .htaccess file?

I can do that myself. Glowhost allows me to choose what PhP version I want to use. I'm not switching, it took over Raven Web Hosting.

There were line breaks in .htaccess that shouldn't be there, I removed the breaks and it's good now. The problem may have occured from an old theme so I'm using the RN fisubice now. I think the issue is resolved, thanks for the help. Smile

southern, great that you found the issue. So you can set back the $gfx_chk settings.
