Frustration with login logic...

Hello,
I've never had a smooth result with this Behaviour...

Create simple login page, save some session values and use another security feature to check for the rules proper presence and re-route to another page if fails.

But it never works.

In the current instance, it works in some cases not in others.
For instance, I try with one of the logins at a clients office. FAIL
Try a second login credential which I know is correct. FAIL
Then trying another credential it works. This is not good.

Another case was it worked after clearing all Session values but echoing those to the screen showed there were none on consequence.

Running the latest DW as well as the latest DataBridge.

FTP Credentials attached as well as login credentials

Issue not happening today in my local environment.

Expecting it was related to Session values but the inconsistency, is hard to recreate.

This has something to do with how your server redirects to the default page. You can see that you aren't specifying the default page in the url (index.php). This causes the form to not submit properly because there is no action specified.

You can probably fix the problem by adding action="index.php" to your <form> tag.

That is probably why it seems inconsistent to you, sometimes you visit with the page specified and other times you are just browsing to the directory and the web server is displaying the page.

Not sure why your saying there is no default page. If you go to the directory it properly loads the index.php page :

http://orangecountyoutboards.com/admin18/

I'm saying in the url:
http://orangecountyoutboards.com/admin18/

You don't specify the page. So the web server is redirecting to the default page. The issue is that it doesn't forward form posts as it redirects, so when your form also posts to the url without the default page specified, the form data is ignored and doesn't work.

That is why a solution of changing the form action so that the page is specifically specified in the url would likely solve the problem.

You will see now that the login page works when you go to:
http://orangecountyoutboards.com/admin18/index.php

but not when you go go:
http://orangecountyoutboards.com/admin18/

If the default page isn't specified (in the browser, not in your hosting) then that is causing the issue.

I understand what you are saying Ray...

Thank you.
