After normal upgrading I cannot enter backend. After name and passwords it renews allways the enter window without any message. So I decided to go back to 1.5.15 until I know the problem.

Is there someone who resolved that problem?

Hi

I have had the SAME problem with this upgrade patch...

To fix this, I needed to the replace the libraries/joomla/application/application.php from the patch upgrade with the 1.5.15 version... just ftp the older .15 file over the new patched file.

Once this single file was replaced, I could log in again....

Hope this helps.

Really serious bug, I suppose.
5 months without any upgrade and then this happened.
Thank you m00m00, that saved me from getting a big headache.
Looking forward to 1.6 version.

EDIT: Apparently, redirect function is changed and that is possible cause for this problem.
I have also noticed that this didn't happen on one of my sites, I could normally login after applying new patch.

m00m00, thank you so much for this hint. I have had the same problem and I could not enter backend after upgrading from 1.5.15 to 1.5.16 but changing the application.php fixed it. On same server but another joomla-installation (also 1.5.15) the upgrade worked without any issues.

Should be conflicts with 3rd Party extensions?

Thanks, it worked, but this cannot be an official and good solution. Which 3rd part extension could that be, who makes the problem?

I have found the string, that causes this issue, but I don't understand the meaning of it.

If you comment out (or delete) the line 533 of application.php from Joomla 1.5.16

Code:
$session->fork();


you can enter backend.


Some thought to it: In the involved Joomla installation I have disabled joomla session, because the flash uploader does work only with disabled joomla session. In the joomla installation, where I could enter backend without any problems after upgrade, joomla session is activated.

That's right Lintzy,

After my post I have also tried commenting Line 533 of the new application.php file and it worked for all installations where Session Handler was set to None in Session Settings (Global Configuration -> System).

Another possible solution is to manually change Line 51 of the configuration.php file of each installation:
Code:
var $session_handler = 'database';

if it was set to 'none' instead.
Than you should be able to log in properly.

Hello,

Update 1.5.15 to 1.5.16 no problem either.

Tests on local server 2Go and online with PHP 5.x

I upgraded 10 sites, 2 from 1.5.14 and the rest from 1.5.15. All went well except for one of the 1.5.15 sites where I had the admin login problem.

Only thing that worked for me was editing the application.php file.

I'd like to know the implications of this edit however if anyone knows?

Well, I edited the application.php file and commented line 533 ($session->fork();), but my site is still blank. :(

I have just upgraded from 1.5.15 to 1.5.16 on both a test site and a live site (both on the same server) and there do not appear to be any problems. The test site is in a sub-domain which is useful for experimenting with upgrades and extensions.

Many thanks to the Joomla team for another excellent upgrade.

I was also unable to login after the upgrade on the server...however on the local server I had no problem.

Even after I replaced libraries/joomla/application/application.php with the 1.5.15 file I still can't login

Any solutions?

In two sites that I manage, one of them had this problem and others not. Question: The removal of this line of code can cause a problem?

Ehm, I edited my configuration.php and set var $error_reporting to '6143' (I found that via search, don;t know if it's a coorect way) and this is the error I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /httpdocs/libraries/joomla/plugin/helper.php on line 218

Maybe this helps?

I experienced this issue with my most recent upgrade today - I had used ftp to overwrite the for the upgrade, then, after the failed attempt - used ftp to move the upgrade file into the root and expanded it there with the cpanel tools. Both processes failed.

I then copied the old 1.5.15 application.php file and solved the issue.
This failure occurred on one of three sites upgraded today. I have 7 more sites to upgrade.

If you can direct me through the process of parsing the php error file, I would gladly send it. I've not done that before.

When I force my website to use PHP 5, everything works perfectly, but when I switch back to PHP 4, the error returns.

People having issues with login: change the session handler to "database", this temporarily solves the login problem. As mentioned above, simple edit configuration.php for this:

Code:
var $session_handler = 'database';


The Bug Squad team is working on fixing the issue with the handler "none".

There is indeed a problem of compatibility with PHP 4.
It is time to update ;)

This mod to 'configuration.php' may not work for everyone.

For what it's worth, my 1.5.16 $session_handler is set to 'database' and upgrading to 1.5.16 completely disabled my site. (For details on my site, see viewtopic.php?f=430&t=510578). --mr

Try to set $error_reporting to '6143' in the configuration.php file as Polyphemus did above. Do you get any kind error after this step?

I am having the same problem. I changed the configuration.php file as noted. My error log says the following:
[Sat Apr 24 16:03:02 2010] [error] [client xx.xx.xxx.xx] File does not exist: /home/echosono/public_html/404.shtml
[Sat Apr 24 16:03:02 2010] [error] [client xx.xx.xxx.xx] File does not exist: /home/echosono/public_html/favicon.ico

where i've changed the ip addresses to 'xx.xx.xxx.xx' for security purposes.

No luck with "set $error_reporting to '6143' in the configuration.php file"
I'm surprised 1.6 was released to the public before the bugs were ironed out.

So everyone can see what happens in each of the sites that manage or develop, it is interesting that everyone could download the full version of Joomla 1.15.16. What do you think? But each may have some minor problems resulting from the upgrades.

The early version of the Update files had an error and they have been withdrawn.
Update using the full package (minus the installation directory) for now until the revised release is made.
