joomla admin login problem

« on: February 10, 2007, 07:17:07 PM »

Hi JH-Team,

I saw that there are several postings concerning login problems but I think I have something new to offer.

Configuration: Joomla 1.0.12, SMF 1.1.1, Bridge 2.0, PHP4.3.11, MySQL5.0.22

I have the forum wrapped in Joomla and registration and login is set to Mambo/Joomla in the bridge configuration.
Now my problem: Everything seemed to work fine after installation but one day later I could not login to joomla backend. The login data were not wrong but the login looped and told me to login again and again.
What i tried:
1. login in joomla frontend worked
2. deleted all cookies without success
3. tested with several browsers and several PCs without success
4. login in SMF itself (same server, another subdomain) worked (with the joomla admin account)

Now the funny thing: I edited my joomla config manually and set the site to offline. Still no login in admin possible. Now I change it back to online. Still no login. Reload the joomla frontpage once(!) and finally I can login to the joomla backend! When I logout I can login again, so it seemed to be the solution. Unfortunately when I try some hours later the problem is back and the only way to login is the method of manual changes in the joonla config file described above.
Would be great to hear your opinion on this. Did not try the joola-smf-login module yet but could this really be an answer?

Thanks in advance,

Bernhard

sounds subdomain related... how is your site configured in regards to subdomain? And have you checked the smf settings in JSMF user guide?

My joomla site URL is like this:

http://www.subdomain.domain.de

SMF is under another subdomain:

http://www.subdomain2.domain.de

Do you think this is the problem?
I think I have everything right after reading the userguide. Which setting do you refer to?

Thanks for your fast reply.

yes, that is the problem, better to use the actually domain with folder...

www.domain.de/subdomain
www.domain.de/subdomain2

Thanks, I will try and report back tomorrow. Nevertheless I would like to investigate why this weird thing happens. Is this connected to the storage of sessions in the database? What happens if I change joomla config manually to offline and back to online? Or better when I reload the page after these changes?
One more question: Can you exclude the usage of the joomla login instead of the jsmf login module as a reason for the problem?

Thanks again,

Bernhard

p.s.: Will surely donate something because your support is very fast!

it has to do with the domain that is stored for the session in the cookie on your computer

Sorry for the delay. Today I moved the forum to a folder inside the joomla-directory. Everything seemed to work but two hours later when I tried to login, the old problem shows up again.
Maybe you have another proposal.

Sorry, forgot to mention because I thought it couldn´t be responsible for the backend login problem. I have SEFAdvance (www.sakic.net). Btw. I also plan to use the Cache component from http://www.joomlatwork.com/. But this shouldn´t effect the backend.
