Just installed the update patch from 1.5.15 to 1.5.16 on one of my localhost (xampp 1.7.1) installations and now can't login anymore. :( Does anybody encounter the same problem?

Update:
There is a funny login-behaviour of my localhost installations. I have two different Joomla installations on which I use the same user name and password. I can't login into the one I updated to Joomla 1.5.16. directly (neither frontend nor backend). But when I login into the administration of the other one still running 1.5.15 and then select the 1.5.16 site from the browser, I'm logged in into the 1.5.16 site as well and it shows version 1.5.16.

Very strange...

Not only can I not login to the administrator back end after upgrading from 1.5.15 to 1.5.16, the site only shows blank/empty pages. (No code is being delivered.)

I have seen a couple fixes on correcting the administrator login (viewtopic.php?f=430&t=510482) but I'm not messing with hacking on patches until an 'official' fix is issued.

I have restored my previous 1.5.15 site from backup and am really surprised that a 'patch' can do such fundamental damage to an otherwise functional site. --michael

Hi regoli,
if you follow this suggestion
viewtopic.php?p=2120862#p2120862
you don't hack the core, you just change a parameter of your global configuration

Thanks ste
- for directing us to the other thread - I overlooked that one.
Looks like the update patch from 1.5.15 to 1.5.16 doesn't like the 'Session Handler' in 'Global Configurations' - 'System' set to "None". I changed it to "Database" and can login normally again.

Initially setting the 'Session Handler' to "Database" before applying the patch should solve the problem of not beeing able to login after applying the patch.

I upgraded and cannot login to front or back - error incorrect username or password - yet they are stored in my browser. I tried the var
$session_handler = 'database'; but it was already right so didn't work. Where is the application.php? There is no such at the root level of the install.

That's true. However, the default setting is "Database" (because it is faster than writing to files - I suppose). The only "problem" you might have if you set the 'Session Handler in 'Global Settings' > 'System' to "Database" is that you will have to set 'Enable Flash Uploader' (on the same page) to "No" and use the traditional uploader instead, because the Flash Uploader only works with the 'Session Handler' set to "None".

Thanks for the hint - as I'm running a Jomres website, too. Didn't check yet if something on the Jomres website isn't working after the update and setting the session handler to "Database".
...At a first glance it seemed to be working normal.

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 in 1.6 with the 1.5.15 file I still can't login

Any solutions?

where are the usernames and passwords stored? Since we can get in through the cpanel, is there a way to check those?

Thanks for the tip. However installing the 1.5.16 update and bringing over my old (1.5.15) application.php file does NOT correct this problem. (And $session_handler is and has always been 'database' here.) -mr

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. And reapply the fix above.

Hi there,

I have upgraded from 1.5.15 to 1.5.16 and I cannot login to the backend either.

I have checked that my configuration.php file is set to:
var $session_handler = 'database';

I've also commented out:
$session->fork();
in the application.php file

Not sure where to go from here. Would be great if we could get a proper fix for this.

I see that the upgrade package is back again at http://www.joomla.org/download.html. Does this mean the bugs have been fixed?
Should I just overwrite the files from the previous upgrade to 1.6?

v2006, if you have applied the upgrade and had no issues then I would advise you to take no further action until the dust settles on this one. The full fallout has still to be evaluated, I suspect.

If you need to upgrade from 1.5.15 use the full package (minus the installation folder) at present and see http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Version_1.5.16_FAQ

Thanks for your reply...should I remove all my files from the server first (last week I migrated it from 1.0 to 1.5.15 then upgraded again yesterday)? Do I need to import the database I saved before upgrading from 1.1.15 to 1.6 or leave as is?

If you are now working without any issues on 1.5.16 (many are) do nothing more at present.

I've been unable to login and tried all the fixes in previous posts on this thread but none worked so far so am hoping this is the solution.

:-\ I hate to say this, but this situation is ... horse manure. Some components don't work with a session handler, for instance. For another, if you have multiple Joomla sites, going into each and modifying the configuration.php and application.php files means a lot of admin overhead. That, and site user discontent. :-\

Reapply a NEW copy of the 1.5.15 to 1.5.16 patch.

You should not even be touching 1.6 alpha2 yet (but I guess that may just have been confusion in all the different numbers you are dealing with at the moment) and you don't need to be touching the database files again.

This is how I solved it:

Updated using the patch and FTP to overwrite the files, couldn't log in.
Changed the session_handler, couldn't log in.
Commented out the sission->fork, and now I can log in!

Indeed, older versions did, but 4.4.1 and upward doesn't need it. See http://forum.jomres.net/index.php?topic=3370.0

After much deliberation I decided to revert back to 1.5.15 until 1.5.17 is released, but there's still issues. I made a backup of my site before I upgraded to 1.5.16 using Akeeba Backup. I re-intalled 1.5.15 and still cannot login to the backend.

Very frustrating. Really need some help here please.
