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...
