they sent me here... LOGIN probs?

[stryka]

Anyhow... VB sent me here cuz i installed the country hack and made a change to my global.php...

Please note... after i upgraded to 2.3.2 with no hacks installed... my problem still existed but I had not time to get a VB rep to look @ it before i put back the hacks.

Here's the scenario: Pls let me know if you can help... THANX!!!!

url: http://www.islandmix.com/backchat/

Currently, if a new user registers with no prior islandmix.com cookies... they experience the following problems:

- They have to use my Photopost login workaround
-They cannot click the "EDIT PROFILE" link and -login from there...
- They cannot use any original VB logins cuz it will not recognize their password?
- They cannot request PASSWORD cuz the password sent via email would not be correct.
- Don't know if it's related but i have an increased amount of ppl not getting their login info when they sign up... i;ll check my maillog for that though...

Workarounds:

- I have changed the VB login to use my Photopost login that integrates to the VB user db
- I have added an extra step in the logout to ensure that they logout of Photopost too

TroubleShooting:

- performed a soft reboot several times...
- ensured that all processes were killed
- ran repair on VB databases (nothing found)
- checked that my user table matched up with the userinfo table

- all were removed and problem still occurred.

HACKS:

- all were removed and problem still occurred.

Question: How do I synchronize the encrypted passwords or get this cookie problem solved... but i don't think it's cookies cuz new users have the prob...

p.s. this has also happened me when I delete all of my cookies or try a new machine and login with a new users account.

p.s.s my PP config matches the VB cookie path and domain setups as well...

Related Incidents : things that happened right when prob came up..

- MySQL server hung and server (dedicated) had to do a hard reboot
- PP was upgraded with the cookie domain info being blank (enventually fixed but several ppl logged in and out using the PP login before i fixed that)

I AM WILLING TO TRY ANY SUGGESTIONS...

No disrespect intended, but if all the hacks were removed, the problem would be gone, too

Try reuploading the original vB files from the Member's Area.

None taken... (original post updated)

I actually upgraded to the latest 2.3.x to see if the problem was fixed... and was perplexed when the problem was still there...

I troubleshooted for a good half day (reboots etc.) with a Vanilla VB until i re-installed my hacks...

Anyhow... I just added a "related incidents" section... and updated the workaround section... please check that out above...

Maybe someone can hint to me why/how the password request would send the wrong password? I can only assume that it is sending somoene elses password... and it has to be resynched

thanx again...
