Admin login --> session fails --> redirect to login page

Hi all!

I’m new to OXID eShop CE and the first thing I want to do is to thank you folks to release such a fine piece of software under GPL :slight_smile:

My problem: Installation on a Gentoo machine worked fine, started to configure and then at some point trying to press the save button in the basic configuration (Grundeinstellungen) I am redirected to the backend login page. When I log in again, go to the basic settings, press the save button same thing happens again (although the changed data is saved).

A reinstall of the database from the setup/sql directory solved the problem but it came back - without any hint how to reproduce this. It seemed as if it happend when I changed the password of the admin user but then (now) it happened again without me changing any password.

I already searched the old forum but the hint (OXRIGHTS = user instead of malladmin) did not work because there is already “malladmin” in this field.

The same behaviour occurs whenever I want to save anything. I need HEEEEEEELP! :?

Best wishes
Carsten

Edit: The problem occurs on Windows & Mac, with Firefox and Safari

Hi Carsten,

welcome :slight_smile:

Maybe it is the same issue as described here:

Simply switch off the “automatic save on change tab” function.

Hi @ all,

Im also new to OXID eShop CE and love it. In my oppinion its the best OpenSource-Shop-System out there. Tested it locally and everythings fine. But after installing on a Server (CentOS) I could not login to the backend. After typing in admin/admin and submitting the login form I got redirected to the login-page again. So theres no chance for me to switch off the “automatic save on change tab” function. Got any ideas?

Best regards

Jeremias

Hello Jeremias,

actually, I don’t think it has to do with the automatic save. Could you check please if there is the suhosin patch is installed on your server and if the session_encrypt option is turned to on or to off?

Hello Marco,

suhosin is installed on the server. I tried both suhosin.session.encrypt on and off in php.ini but that had no effect to the login-page redirection.

I guess cookies are enabled in your browser.

Did you clear the tmp-directory between your trials?

On the other hand - this might be an alternative for you:http://www.oxid-esales.com/de/resources/forum/general/vmware-appliance-oxid-eshop-debian-etch-beta

Hi Marco,

first of all thanks for your replies.

Cookies are enabled in my browser and also the clearing up of the tmp dir had no effect on my problem. The VMWare-image would be a good idea unless I have to install oxid on an existing server. Do you or somebody else have any other ideas?
