Cannot administer with superuser-account?

eco - January 26, 2007 - 18:53

I just finished a Drupal 4.7.5 installation, and have created the first user, the su-account. I have disabled the login-module since I only want administrators to login.

Once I logout the su-account, I cannot login again! I can login using the correct name/pwd, but nothing happens, I'm still on the same page and I don't get any menu on the left (although if I enter an incorrect name/pwd, a red text tells me something is wrong). I have to go to 'lost password' and have a new password sent to my email. Then I can login and administer everything again, but once I logout I have to redo the whole 'lost password'-thing.

What on earth is happening? I also have a Drupal 5 installation, and there everything is working perfectly fine...

problem with login

Hi,

I just wanted to write a similar post.

The users of my site have problems with login.
One day after installing additional modules, the form:
...
form action="/node?destination=node" method="post" id="user-login-form"
...
does not work properly

but hopefully, one can login while trying to comment something,
because login procedure is then made by .../user/login?destination=...
So, I have added a simple primary link http://domain/user/login?
to enable login from the main page.
Try this - just put your address/user/login? in the browser.

I have upgraged from 4.7.5 to 5.0 and installed modules:
- FCKeditor
- Global Direct
- SwitchTheme

Where is the problem?

best,
sionek

Hi, No, that's not my

Hi,

No, that's not my problem. The login-page shows up correctly, but when I login nothing happens; I'm not directed to anywhere, and if I try to access for instance domain/admin I get an 'Access denied', although I am both su and now also an Administrator (role defined by me with full access). This is just so weird...

Regards,
Eco

(Btw, I have nothing additional than a plain Drupal 4.7.5 installation, installed some 3 hours ago...)

login page

I am talking just about your problem - putting login and password without any result.
I had to remove login form from my site and enable log in by primary link.
Look at primary link "ZALOGUJ" at my homepage.
Try to log in using "http://your-domain/user/login?"
(with "?" at the end, and neither user name nor login eg. "admin",
but just words: /user/login?)

Thank you!

Good links, found a fix to the problem! It seems it was the Firefox cache that made up the mess. Strange though, I never got this problem on Drupal 5?

(Btw Sionek, I tried the ? at the end of the URL but that showed the same behaviour, thanks for the reply though!)
