Thread

Hi,

We purchased 1.6.8 with MSM (multisite) around 2009.

We are pulling one site from Colo1 to Colo2.
The easist way to clone the server and clean up the data from both servers.

However, both server can check invalid login, but only the colo 1 server accept the valid login, the Colo2 server is redirect the page back to the login page without any error message.

I spoke with lisa and she told me this is not related to license.

Can someone advise me how to trouble shoot this issue?
Where is the log file located?

thank you.

Welcome to our community, Kelly!

Can you try changing:

$conf[‘cookie_prefix’] = “”;

to

$conf[‘cookie_prefix’] = "colo1";

for just one site? There may be a cookie conflict and the prefix will help avoid that.

Thanks!

it’s still the same, valid login looping back to the same login page.

when I enter invalid password, it shows ==>
The username you submitted was not found in the database

When I enter valid password, it shows blank
but the URL shows this

http://ws.unidosfinancial.com/cms_admin/index.php?S=494be82220f154f74af06141cf7507e86928396e

one more note

The Colo1 webserver is listed in public IP
The Colo2 webserver is listed with private IP.

Both webserver are identical except MacAddress/IP/Hostname

The Multiple site is handled by Apache Virtual Host.
All apache related setup looks correct. I can pull phpinfo page from both servers.

I think I will just use webspider to capture all the static content from colo1 and figure something out later.
tks

Hi, Kelly -

The next step would have been to make sure that PHP errors are on and showing; it is usually a suppressed PHP error that leads to a blank page.  Did you want to troubleshoot that or move on to static as you had said?

Let me know, happy to help either way.

Thanks!
