Hello togheter,

Since today I have a problem with login in to my joomla backend.

Every time I try there is only this error:
Quote:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JSession::checkToken() in /Download/administrator/components/com_login/controller.php on line 52


What is the problem?
How can I solve it?

Thank you

This sites is a download site so the folder where the Joomla is placed is "Download"

I have just received the same message.

Steps taken before this...
1. Tried an upgrade from J!2.5.3 to J!2.5.4 but failed with a "Copy Failed" on file libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php.
2. Switched debug on
3. Retried install, same failure which identified the failed file
4. Checked permissions on folder and upped this to 775
5. Retried install, same failure
6. Tried to switch debug off and Failed with this same error message.
7. Updated the config file to switch debug off
8. Now can't log in to Admin area with this message.

Any assistance appreciated before I start mannually over-writing files one at a time. Cheers.

Glenn

Ok, just copied in J!2.5.3 version of the offending controller.php file and I have been able to log in.

Comparison of the to version of this file show on line 76:
J!2.5.3 = JRequest::checkToken('default') or jexit(JText::_('JInvalid_Token'));

J!2.5.4 = JSession::checkToken('request') or jexit(JText::_('JInvalid_Token'));

Just thought I'd mention this. Cheers.

I'm having a similar problem with log in now to my admin area since updating to 2.5.4. However, I've not received any error messages, just a screen with the top bar of the Joomla adminstration page, with the "View Site" button and the "Log In" button and the bottom copyright. The fields for log in have disappeared.

Where do I find the controller.php file from 2.5.3 to copy over the one that was created by 2.5.4? Maybe that will help me be able to log in.

Thanks for replying. This is a real security problem with this update. Unfortunately, your fix didn't work for me but I sure do appreciate your input. Thanks!

I have solved the problem, replacing the file controller.php of ../administrator/components/com_login with another 2.5.3 installation controller.php file.

Yes. The hole path is:
/www/htdocs/w00ec420/Domains/Download/administrator/components/com_login/controller.php

But I solved the problem by copying the 2.5.3 controller.php file in the Joomla installation.

edit:
There is just another error by editing the config:
Quote:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JSession::checkToken() in /www/htdocs/w00ec420/Domains/Download/administrator/components/com_config/controllers/application.php on line 41

Replacing the controller.php with the old version hasnt fixed my problem.
My problem is that I can t access to my admin panel at all. No even the admin bar or white screen. I can t reproduce my problem in my local/dev site, because I dont get the error and everything works smooth there.

It seems that the JRequest::checkToken() has been changed to JSession::checkToken() in several places. For instance in manage.php where it also generates a 500 error. To prevent me having to find all of these instances I added the following to /libraries/joomla/session/session.php (just before the last closing bracket):

public function checkToken($argument='default'){
return JRequest::checkToken($argument);
}

This mimicks the otherwise lost function.

btw: my joomla administration panel hasn't changed to 2.5.4 and the update icon is still telling me to update, however when pressing the find updates button in the update screen no updates appear..

Hello, i am new in this forum,

i had today similar problems after updating one of my sites from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4 and my solution was by replacing the controller.php with 2.5.3 and also replacing the line 30 of helper.php (path: administrator/includes) from
if (!$user->authorise('core.login.admin')) {
to
if ($user->get('guest')) {

Good luck!

I fixed this issue by doing the following:

1. Download complete 2.5.3 package
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... ge_id=6302

2. FTP complete administrator folder and overwrite all

I'm back in and it's working fine.

BTW ~ when I check my Joomla installation version (after overwriting the administrator folder from 2.5.3) it still says I'm using 2.5.4. :geek:

FWIW

I resolved this issue by manually ftp'ing all files from the upgrade 2.5.3 to 2.5.4 package, over-writing all existing ones on the server. Possibly a safer fix that hacking individual files? Just a thought.

My problem appears the be some files were upgraded and others didn't and thus have a mix of the JSession calls with JRequest calls. Hope this might help others with a similar problem.

Thank you very much, this has solved all the problems at several different locations.
