Troubles logging in?
Submitted by Comyn on Tue, 12/26/2006 - 11:51am
I do a lot of fiddling around on the various websites I host on my webserver, and as a result tend to end up with a situation that I *hope* no one else is experiencing: Occassionally I won't be able to log in to the TdB site :( I found the only way to get in is to go into my Firefox preferences and blow away all my cookies for the tdbcelts.org domain and try again. This may only be because of my use of Firefox, or because I have other sites which require cookies on that domain, I don't know. If anyone else has a problem, please let me know.

IE/Drupal login bug?
I have also posted this to the Yahoo list:
Guthrum pointed out that while he could log in fine using Firefox, he wasn't able to log in from work (where they can only use Internet Explorer). I remembered my own problems (above) and wondered if it might be a 'cookies' issue. Then I searched and found a whole mess of people reporting the same thing:

It appears the problem has to do with whether you are using www.tdbcelts.org or just tdbcelts.org in the address bar. Users reported that using the 'www' it wouldn't work, while without it it did. I made a change to the site so that even if you type the 'www' it will redirect to without the 'www', but this means your existing cookies will be gone (you'll need to put in your username and password again if you had it saved). BUT, it should resolve the issue with logging in with IE.
Guthrum: please let me know if this has solved your problem when you can test it next time.
