Login fails without message

Windows Server 2003 R2, x86 with Service Pack 2
SQL Server 2005 build 4035
mojoPortal 2.3.1.3

I think the installation went successful, I even tried to re-create the database. The default content page shows up as expected, I click Sign In at the top, and provide the default admin credentials. The login seems to work, and I am redirected to the home page, but nothing there indicates that I am signed in.

If I log in with incorrect credentials, I see an error message. I can open the mp_Users table and see that the admin user logged on last at the time I logged on. I can register as a new user, but when trying to sign in, the same thing happens.

There's no log in the ~/Data folder.

Re: Login fails without message

Hi,

Most likely cause I can think of is your browser is not accepting the cookies.

Try a different browser or machine.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Login fails without message

Joe,

I should have noted that I have tried on 3 different machines, two with IE8 and one with IE 6. I have no issues with other sites authentication.

Also, mojoPortal is running as an application, not a web site. Would that affect the way the cookies work?

Thanks,

SA.

Re: Login fails without message

Maybe its related, possibly you need to change the path, in Web.config 

by default its configured like this:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".mojochangeme" protection="All" timeout="50000000" path="/" cookieless="UseCookies" />
</authentication>

where the path / represents the root of the site, if you have another app at the root and mojoportal runing in a folder maybe changing it to /foldername would help.

I'm really not sure if that will help or not.

Best,

Joe
