Hi,

We have problems logging into the master site administration area back end. When we try to login the page only refresh - we get no error message. We have no problems on the slave sites. It worked before and we can't think of anything we have changed.

The problem seems like it is OS dependent. Using a computer with XP or Vista we can login, but using a computer with windows 7 the problem occurs.

Any hints of what the problem might be? We appreciate any help.

Best regards, Jon

When you have a login problem, this might be a symptom related to Joomla 1.5.16 or higher.
They have tried to increase the security and introduce a bug that is reported in the bug tracker.

If you have a joomla 1.5.18, perhaps you should have roolback the sources /librarires/joomla/application/application.php or put the session line in comment at line 530.

joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker...racker_item_id=20221

/*
$session = &JFactory::getSession();

// we fork the session to prevent session fixation issues
$session->fork();
$this->_createSession($session->getId());
*/

Since Loading the JMS and creating the Slave site I can't access the administration area on either site. Please advise

I applied the comments and was able to get it. Does this do anything to the integrity of the code?

This is a Joomla bug that is reported in their bug tracker.
They have introduced the bug in Joomla 1.5.16 that explain that they quickly release a 1.5.17 and again 1.5.18 to fix it but it remains problem. Perhaps they will find a solution in 1.5.19.

I am facing the a similar problem as mentioned above.

I can login onto the master site in the backend but not on the slave site.

I upgraded my joomla install to 1.5.20 but the problem still exists.

When I apply the patch at line 530 in application.php then the problem starts happening on the master site too, i reverted the patch and I can login to the master site backend.

Please advise.

Thanks, Best Wishes,
Santosh
