MattCardly Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hi, Can anyone help -- I have created a backup of my website and installed it onto Xampp on Mac OSX. Everything seems to be fine, although I when I go to the admin age on local host, I can't login using the default user-name and password. It doesn't give me an (password or user) error message, it just brings me straight back to the login screen and the browser asks me if I want to remember the password. I would normally expect to see the dashboard of the admin side. However this isn;t happening. I have also removed the .htaccess files from the public_html folder Is there a redirect somewhere in the code. Any help would be VERY VERY much appreciated. Thank you Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Zonjee Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Instead of using localhost for the server name in the config, use 127.0.0.1 Might be an issue of not being to set a cookie (domain name needs dots in it) (For the MySQL entry you can use localhost though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCardly Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Jan, Thank you for the reply. I changed the following from localhost to 127.0.0.1 and still seem to be getting the same issue as before File: admin/includes/configure.php define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://127.0.0.1/xampp/homedir/public_html'); define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://127.0.0.1/xampp/homedir/public_html'); define('DB_SERVER', '127.0.0.1'); Do you have any other suggestions? or have I changed something I shouldn't? Any feedback is very grateful. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Zonjee Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Do you have any other suggestions? or have I changed something I shouldn't? You could have left the DB_SERVER at localhost but since it is apparently working it is no problem apparently. - Is the url in the form action of the login OK (it could point to https or something strange - do a "view source" in your browser.) - Check if you get admin cookies for 127.0.0.1 (if so delete it and see if you get a new one.) - Start up "Terminal" and use curl to go your admin: curl -v http://127.0.0.1/catalog/admin/login.php From the headers you get (and you don't see those in your browser) you can sometimes also get information about redirects, not getting cookies etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
