I am trying to put content on & edit my site. I was logged in as administrator & at one point, I noticed the changes I was saving were not taking effect!. I logged out but could not log in again, not even with my other alternative user names! Restarting the pc did not help. I now here quite perplxed not knowing what the problem could be!

Something spooky going on here or someone has a solution for me? I also need to urgently remove my files after finishing some work on the site as my host is shortly closing shop. :(

I would like to add, that, strangely, Drupal shows me as being Online.. although I am not, as in that case I'd be able to access the administration area!

Are you looking to sell something on cafepress or are you looking for a way to log in to your site? :)

Use phpMyAdmin to verify the users are still in the user table.

Do you still have the login block?

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time.
Yes, the Login block is there...
I just checked the db as u suggested all the users are there.

It's quite frustrating... because I dont know why this is all of a sudden happening.
I also registered as a new user, and after first log in & changing the password, I logged out only not to be able to log in again.

So none of the 4 IDs I have of which one is the admin. is currently working.

:((

I'm having the same problem on occassion and as I understand it the issue has to do with multiple session cookies for the same domain being present. I believe there are multiple discussion threads here covering this topic, the first one I found was here. The quick fix for you personally is to clear your cookies (at least it seems to work for me).

Ok, I tried that out, clearing the cookies both in IE & Mozilla, but several initial trials to log in have also not been successful for any of the IDs.
Let me just point out that I have not had this problem at before in spite of shifting from one ID (esp. administrative) to another & back, in the last 2-3 weeks I have been working on my site.

Try commenting out user.module at line 957:

//sess_regenerate();
return 'user/'. $user->uid;

Not too sure of the consequences of this, but it at least works for me.

Trust this helps.
