Can't login after Drupal update from 6.17 to 6.19

By portablecow on 7 Sep 2010 at 18:08 UTC

I had GoDaddy update my Drupal install from 6.17 to 6.19. After the update I can't logon. I type in my username and password for the admin account and it just takes me back to the same page but doesn't log me in. There are no watchdog messages, if I enter the wrong password it gives me the standard watchdog message. It just seems like the login info isn't taking and it looks like it is just refreshing the page.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

I had that behavior with username and password when I change the $cookie_doamin from settings.php.

Take a look and see the value of $cookie_domain.

thank you for taking the time

thank you for taking the time to post, I actually believe this could be a problem with GoDaddy. I had them do the update and there was a server error after the update was finished. Unfortunately, there was no way to find out what the server error was. I think I will try to do a manual update instead. I never changed the settings.php file unless for some reason it got corrupted during the update.

thanks

I think its not hosting

I think its not hosting problem, i had the same problem, something with cookie setting. When i removed standard cookie setting in settings.php started working again, before that i couldnt login at all.
Maybe its some bug in d 6.19 or there is some new way to use settings.php and cookie setting, anyway if you put // on cookie setting it should work again but you could have problems with some other modules when cookie domain is not present.
