cannot login –

  • for some reason whenever I log into b2login.php, it just goes back to the login page, no errors or other indications.
    I’ve read the b2 forums @ cafelog.com and nothing posted there seems to apply.
    b2 worked fine, it does not seem to be IE6 related, index.php loads fine.
    any ideas ? very much appreciated!

  • hmmmm, i’ll take the silence as a general ‘no idea mate’

    The general idea (from browsing the forums) seems to be that if you’re having login problems, it’s usually due to having entered an incorrect path(s) in wp-config.php. Also, make sure that when you ran the install and it asked for the path to your site, that you entered a fully qualified address (i.e. https://www.yoursite.com) with no trailing / at the end. (ex: https://www.yoursite.com/wordpress ).

    Thanks Cena, but I am sure as I can be that my settings are correct. In the table wp_options siteurl = https://localhost/wordpress .This is the correct path and i def eneterd correct path at installation, ie https://localhost .Everything works ok apart from the log-in. I have a hunch it is something to do with running on localhost because of the timeout.

    Latest in CVS no longer requires a correct siteurl value to log in. This way you can log in and change the value if it isn’t correct. ??

    The only thing I can think to suggest is that you try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. I know they’re essentially the same thing, but when I set up Apache (not Xitami, as I’m aware you’re using) my pages would *not* resolve to localhost, but would to 127.0.0.1. YMMV.

    I have had this problem with other scripts in the past (not this one or b2 cos I fixed it).
    It is not a problem with wordpress or b2 (or any other script for that matter).
    Simply open your php.ini and have a search for: session.save_path =
    Now at the end add: D:\Temp (alter to where you want it to point).
    Now the whole line should read: session.save_path = D:\Temp
    I think you will find that this sorts out your issue ??

    Doh, in my last post replace &#92 for a backwards slash \

    I had a similar problem. In my case, I resolved the problem by setting $siteurl to the IP address of my box (rather than the DNS name I’d bought from Dotster). That seemed to work – basically this bypasses points of error related to resolving the domain name. I’ve had similar problems in the past with MT cgi scripts. hth, -R

    I just installed the latest version and have the same problem (login screen redirects to itself perpetually), though I do not have the b2edit script referenced here. I greped setcookie from all the .php files in the wp-admin directory and see that some entries have the COOKIEPATH variable, but clearly this isn’t helping anything. Since the latest version does not have the /b2/ prefixes on files as mentioned above, what should I do?

    Hey there!

    Is there any solution to this problem?

    Oh, and I just tried this
    https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/phpmyadmin/
    and it made no difference. Still can’t log in.
    So near and yet so far…

    Ketlan – what happens when you try to login ? What do you see ? Which version of WP are you using ? Where is your site ?

    Hmmm.. I just registered and logged in fine.
    Have you done the clearing cache and cookies thing ?

    I clicked the link above ……. honest! ??
    Did I show as a user ?
    (I don’t now … )
    What OS / browser are you using ?
