Solved: Front end login stopped working

Post by TheThomas » Fri May 20, 2016 8:54 am

Hi, I hope I am in the right forum.

I suddenly (no idea what changed) can no longer login on the frontend (http://fsg-neuoetting.eu/index.php/impressum).
When I enter my credentials, the page just reloads and I am still not logged in.

Backend login works fine!
There are no error messages, reporting is set to maximum.

I already tried creating other users. Those can also just log in backend only.

I will gladly provide a test login.

My question is: Is there a known bug or how can I see whats wrong?
Thank you in advance!

I think it's just problem with cookie domain.
You try to open file "configuration.php" located at root of your source code and search for two params
"$cookie_domain" and "$cookie_path"

and leave it blank as is

public $cookie_domain = "" ;
public $cookie_path = "" ;

Check the global permissions for the user group(s) that cant login front end. If you have a 3rd party extension that handles users ... check the settings for that.

Thank you both!

The cookie domain was set correctly, however that hint prompted me to check the cookie policy notification bar. That was quite an old module - deleting it let me log in again. So that module was faulty.

Thanks again! :)

I had the same problem. Login/register form began to give "page cannot be found" or "item 101" error. I then realized that some security plugins/extensions I have installed was causing this error. I uninstalled SQL injection plugin and security check spam protection plugins and it began to work with no issues. keep in mind Just in case...
