Have to login twice

ligyxy

When filling the login form, it will return "Please try again." in error box at the first time, and if I submit the form again, it will pass.

Same problem here. Are you running multiple servers with a load balancer?

ligyxy

@jesset805 I have only one server, with memcached enabled, not sure if that's the reason.

I'm not a vanilla expert. I wouldn't be here if I was but

If you are using memcached for sessions then I would just verify that php is actually creating and storing the session and data successfully on memcached. I would use a little php code to pull my session's data and display it. Or maybe telnet.

I have been looking into the double login issue for a few days now. Everything I have come across so far has had to do with cookie settings in the confg. Specifically setting the cookie domain and cookie path. None of that has worked for me.

@hgtonight Could you take a look?

Vanilla doesn't use PHP sessions.

They use a cookie based session.

@jesset805 I commented the following lines about memcache in config file
$Configuration['memcached']['Store']
$Configuration['Cache']['Enabled']
$Configuration['Cache']['Method']

It seems that the issue is gone. Does it work for you?

ligyxy

@jesset805 Sorry, commenting those lines doesn't solve this problem

jesset805

Do you have http and https on the domain?

ligyxy

@jesset805 I don't. And I just installed a new Vanilla with https and it works without any problem.

I think the reason must be in the config file, since when I copy my current conf to the newly installed forums, the issue comes back. Still figuring out which line causes it.

Is /conf/config.php being cached on your other server?

This smells like a server config issue.
