Login Error when calling the people.php file

Hurl3y

I just started the site and it works fine unless it tries to call for the people.php file when trying to login. If I remove the people.php from the URL and refresh the page, the page will load fine. This happens the first few times someone new comes to the site and logs in. Other then that, its a random issue. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I tried to look at the code for the people.php and im unsure were the issue is. Anyone experience this same issue and know how to fix it?

the login process goes, by default, through people.php

maybe i don't understand what your problem is

Ok here is step by step of what goes on. Enter in username/password. Click login. When trying to load the next page, the page will error out with page cannot be displayed. If you remove the people.php from the end of the URL and hit refesh, the page loads fine. If you select remember me before login, even if the page fails, and you type in the address to the site, it will take you to the discussion board and you are logged in.

Try stripping off everything that comes after people.php on the address bar... from the question mark on, and see if that lets you login normally. If that works, then you have some kind of security module on the server that is keeping it from working properly.

Just tried that, and am still experiencing the same issue.

I'm having the same issue! Any solutions available?

No ideas?

I have this on one forum, but not on the other! (Both on the same server, in different folders, same permissions set, etc).

I only have this problem if I load my forum's page without being logged in. If I click on "logout" and click the "login"-link on the next page, the forum loads as it should. But if I reenter my forum's adress in the browser an try to log in, I get the error that people.php couldn't be found. If I reload, everything's just fine again. This is really annoying me...

I gave up, and am now using bbPress (from the creators of Wordpress) and eagerly awaiting Vanilla 2. Sounds like it'll be so much better than anything else, and looks sxc too. (When guys.. when..?)

this sounds similar to the issue i was having - http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/9543/wordpress-integration-admin-users-booted/#Item_1 the forum loads as it should but there's an issue with staying logged in/accessing members only pages.

i thought it was just me. sounds like a bug in the newest version of vanilla so i'm rolling it back a version.

I think I got the same/similar problem with 1.1.8 I seem to have an extra semicolon in the URL for some reason??? after the http://: http://://74.52.105.82/~cooke/forum/index.php Only seems to occur when logging in for the first time. If I click the back button, it has actually logged in and can continue as normal. Any ideas how to fix this? Whats causing the extra semi-colon? EDIT: SORRY, found the fix here: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/9548/address-not-found-error-on-login-page-back-all-is-fine-fixed/#Item_0

Please have a look here: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/9471/redirect-url-including-localhost/

Basically, open up conf/settings.php and change the line that reads:$Configuration['HTTP_METHOD'] = 'http://';
to this:$Configuration['HTTP_METHOD'] = 'http';

Thank you alsheron! that was my solution!

I have the same trouble, after entering the user name and password the address bar shows http://www.mywebsitename.com/vanilla-1.1.8/people.php but the page is not there just the nobody home page, if i tick the save password box and sign in it works and hey presto the address bar is http://www.mywebsitename.com/vanilla-1.1.8/people.php exactly the same address as above! This was on IE version 6. Try the same thing in Firefox and you have http://://www.mywebsitename.com/vanilla-1.1.8/index.php as Asheron above the double forward slash. Tick the box and it works! Ideas!

@plumber, read #13.

The issue has been fixed in the trunk: http://code.google.com/p/lussumo-vanilla/issues/detail?id=6 Thanks sirlancelot. (if there is other bug affecting 1.1.8, please open a new issue on the google code issue tracker) ps: here a snapshot of vanilla at revision 822 with the fix. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/83967/vanilla/vanilla-1.1.8-r822.zip

sirlancelot

@Dinoboff, thanks for committing the fix! I didn't realize we stopped using bugs.lussumo.com in favor of the GoogleCode issue tracker. I'll report issues using the proper channels now

This doesn't fix the issue with IE which dumps you at page load error. It only addresses the issue with Firefox that adds the extra / to the path. Would be nice to get an answer on why the page dumps the user on a valid page that can't be loaded:

http://www.domain.com/forum/people.php

By the way, I installed Vanilla out-of-the-box yesterday, June 28th. So the most current revision from june 3rd is obsolete at this point.

Please advise.

Thanks!

After much deliberation, it turns out I was not "overwriting" my settings.php file when uploading it to the production server. My FTP user did not have the proper permissions. Once I corrected this issue and overwrote the settings.php file with the adjustments recommended in this thread, the login issues ceased to persist. -Hope this helps the next guy. Thanks!
