Login module on 1.0.8 has some strange issues.

After the update from 1.0.7, on a IIS server it redirects me to http://www.domain.com/https://www.domain.com

(Bold part should not be there)

I'm now using login module from 1.0.7 and it works just fine.

Didn't have the time to look for differences between them. Haven't found another issue yet.

I had modified \modules\mod_login.php.

At line 20 change  !==  in !=

at line 31 change $return = $request_uri;  in  $return = $url;

and it works.

yes this works many thanks, can I add also....

on line 20 change both instances of  !== to  !=

I've made these changes and now it returns to the main page, but I am still not logged in... 
Any further suggestions?

I made both changes and am still having trouble with https referalls, but mine is not a login problem, mine is when content has a referal i.e. http://www.mysite.com/https://www.site2.com

Hi,

I have defined the login and logout redirection URLs in the config page for the login module.

I was having problems because it looked like Joomla was expecting these to be relative paths, not full URLs.

eg there were some errors in the Apache logs like this:

Code:
[Tue Feb 28 23:28:47 2006] [error] [client 172.29.192.5] (20024)The given path misformatted or contained invalid characters: Cannot map GET /https://www.lspeed.org HTTP/1.1 to file


I solved it by removing the "sefRelToAbs" function calls in lines 67 and 129, so that instead of:

Code:
Line 67: <input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo sefRelToAbs( $logout ); ?>" />
Line 129: <input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo sefRelToAbs( $login ); ?>" />


It is now:

Code:
Line 67: <input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo $logout; ?>" />
Line 129: <input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo $login; ?>" />


Maybe it was never supposed to work this way, but it seems more flexible like this, and it looks very much like it may also be related to the original problem in this thread as well (but just an alternative solution).

I had the same problem ( upgraded to 1.0.8 on IIS 6 ) and after I looked at the code of mod_login.php I think this may be a different option for fixing this issue ( works on my install anyway ):

change this ( line 24 ):

Code:
if ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) {


to this:

Code:
if ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 1 || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ) ) {


What's happening, best I can tell, is that IIS has the $_SERVER['HTTPS'] variable set using "on" and "off" for values.  Not true and false.  Thus, the way that the module was checking the value of that server variable doesn't work with IIS.

Is there someone out there with a SSL cert installed that could test this fix when HTTPS is an option?

Confirmation:
W2k3, IIS6, PHP 5.1.2 ISAPI and CGI
HTTP -> _SERVER["HTTPS"] off
HTTPS -> _SERVER["HTTPS"] on

I am almost certain that there are issues with mod_login and IIS servers.

However, without access to an IIS server I cannot confirm these issues.
Hopefully I will get access to an IIS server for testing on the weekend.

Please be aware that although this works, its simply due to incorrect handling.

This 'solution' may work for IIS users, however it is incorrect logic.
The originaly code check is correct, however the problem with IIS servers is that they do not have a $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable

Thank you we will examine this issue once we have access to an IIS server.

Please remember that as most of our users and all our developers use Apache servers we have found it difficult to test cases whether code being used is X-Server neutral.

We hope to alleviate this by setting up an IIS server for internal code testing.

No problem.  I'm happy to hear about the dev & testing team getting an IIS server for testing.  :)

For developers examining differences between $_SERVER PHP variables under Apache and IIS, this is the best article I have been able to find:
http://koivi.com/apache-iis-php-server-array.php

Unfortunately it doesnt go further and list whether the values returned are different between the 2 servers.
For example as posted here the values returned are different - somethign I was previously unaware of.

However, it is a good starting base.

I have login-problems in Joomla 1.0.8's frontend, as well.
I have not set a redirect-url in admin. What I get when I try to login, is this: http://forum.3-16.no/joomla/http://www.popskolen.no/

(My host is set to forward popskolen.no to forum.3-16.no/joomla/, if you were wondering...). My host is Unix-based.

Changing line 20 and 31 in mod_login.php did not help...it gave me the root page (http://forum.3-16.no/), which is a different site.

What to do...?

With the other fix, I get this error-message where the login-window is supposed to appear:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/1/e/eft/www/joomla/modules/mod_login.php on line 24

Hmmm....  Make sure you have the code in there exactly as shown.  Looks like you are either missing a parenthesis or you have an extra one in there somewhere...

Thanks. I tried again with the right code, and the login-module showed up. But I still get http://forum.3-16.no/joomla/http://www.popskolen.no

I'm having a similar redirection error using Linux/Apache/PHP 4.3.11 where I am getting redirected to http://www.mysite.comindex.php/?&nbsp; :(

Does anyone have any ideas?

Using the 1.0.7 login module seems to be a decent workaround. Will there be an "official" solution for this problem (Microsoft-IIS/5.0)?  ???

I have this problem too, and I am curious about the status of this bug.

Is there a tracker # we can view progress or something like that?

And what is the best workaround this moment?

if it really can't be help. roll back to 1.0.7 until the issues at 1.0.8 will be fixed.

wait for 1.0.9 release.. maybe 2weeks from now or more.

On line 43, where it says: = $params->def( 'name', 1 );

Change it to this:  = $params->def( 'username', 1 );

I'm using Apache and the stated fix of changing !==  to !=  (both of them) on line 20 fixed my double URL problem.

Post subject:  Re: 1.0.8 :: LOGIN MODULE: redirection error on IIS (http>https)
Seems that something was changed between 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 that messed up the way the login module works with IIS in particular.  Normally I do not use the login module but go direct to com_login and have not experienced any problems other than the Hi 0 thing.  Just had a look at the login module and not only is the previously mentioned double domain address happening but it is also picking up the port as well.  This site is on IIS6 and is connecting through a proxy so the Website is actually on http://domain.com:81 and that is what is getting picked up.  It is the proxy that translates the connection from port 80 and direct access to port 81 is forbidden from the public side.

The problem would appear to be that the login module is talking directly to the Webserver rather than using $mosconfig_live_site for the URL or however the process was handled in 1.0.7.  This may not be just a problem with IIS and could be a problem with any siteserver running through a proxy server.

This is what happens:
Click on login and get a page with the message:
Object Moved
This document may be found here. ("here" is linked to https://domain.com:81)

The message page URL is normal http://domain.com/index.php

The login does not fail.  Returning to the site directly or by pressing the back button finds the user logged in.

Just thought I would add these observations so the "fix" coming out in 1.0.9 will hopefully address the whole problem.

Cheers
