[SOLVED] Admin's login redirect bug

[Molina]

I really found a bug!

The problem was in the two files, login.php and init.php. This two files are found in Admin folder and are responsible for validating the admin’s credentials. So, when those files send or get a cookie to/from the browser they get wrong with this two lines:

init.php
$cookie = new Cookie(‘psAdmin’, substr($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’], strlen(PS_BASE_URI), -strlen($currentFileName[‘0’])));

login.php
$cookie = new Cookie(‘psAdmin’, substr($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], strlen(PS_BASE_URI), -10));

Thoses lines are not sending a correct path to the browser. Maybe that’s because I use sites other than the main site as virtuals home pages. To fast correct the problem I put explicity the path by my self. So, the lines were just as:

login.php

$cookie = new Cookie(‘psAdmin’, “admin445” );

init.php
$cookie = new Cookie(‘psAdmin’, “admin445”);


After the change everything worked nice.

I hope this can help someone. About me, I’m gona sleep because I spent a lot of time to fix this and here in Brazil are 01:15AM and, as soon as I wakeup I’ll take a Cisco exame wink

Thank's to all!

Hi

 

I have something similar issue. Admin does not let me login and keep redirecting me to the login page without any error. I am using 1.4.4.0 and it is installed on my local host with php 5.2.3

 

I have tried the above solution and also tried to reset the admin password with no luck.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

Try this solution set forth here. It could be an issue with your ISP's firewall settings.

I don't quite understand why this hasn't been fixed. This "bug" has been around for months and you direct people to an ISP site to fix it! At least put a note in the install script that warns people of the problem. It takes all of 60 seconds to "fix" it, but hours or days to diagnose it.

You can find more information about the fix in the bug report I posted above, but let me know if you have any additional questions.
