Drupal 7 login issues

Posted by dakahler on December 21, 2010 at 4:12am

I just attempted an upgrade to Drupal 7, and am having issues trying to login.

Here is the page, which is stuck in maintenance mode:

davekahler.com

If you go to the login page:

davekahler.com/user

You can enter anything you want, and it doesn't respond to it. Just returns you to the login page. It does this even for valid accounts. What can I do to trace what is going on here?

Drupal 7 Login Issues... Here Too

I have the same problem as dakahler...

Put RC3 in maintenance mode, logged out...
updated with RC4
going to site.com/user returns a "500 internal Server Error"

Where do I log in?

This seems to be a .htaccess problem. Your root directory probably doesn't have that file there. Put it there and the problem is solved. Meantime, you can probably log in at: /?q=user
instead of /user

I have a .htaccess file on my

I have a .htaccess file on my server for d7, but ?q=user does not work for me either.

I'm having exactly he same problem except I didn't update my site. Just one morning it decided to stop working and come up with the same error as these guys. Try: http://www.debtadvicewales.co.uk/user. Try any login and it doesn't even come up with an error.

Same problem here

Has there been a solution?

I've tried flushing the cache, I've verified the htaccess file is okay, but still the same.

I have two copies, one on a remote server and one local copy. The remote server is fine, but the local copy (an exact replica, no changes) refuses to let anyone log in.

For anyone trying to solve this, I found a temporary solution that exposes some sort of strange URL rewrite bug.

If you go to mysite.com/?q=user (as opposed to the "clean" /user) it will log you in correctly.

What's troubling is that clean URLs are all still working properly, it's only the login that seems to be having a difficult time, and I'm not quite sure why.

Edit: Actually, no forms are working for me unless they use the 'non rewritten' query url. Will update this post if I figure out what's going on.

Edit 2: Pretty silly mistake. If mod-rewrite isn't enabled in apache2, this is the behavior you'll get. I hope this helps other people troubleshoot this weird error when moving their sites to different servers.

Masking problem

Hi ,

This might not be useful to many, but I had a URL mask on my site. When I used the original login details it works perfectly. I don't know what this could be doing but maybe this is the root of the problem?
