Unable to log in
Perch isn't allowing me to log in today for some reason. When you click 'Log in' the page just seems to refresh, you get no notification. Other users have same issue. I have tried with false details and the error message doesn't appear either, so something is definitely up.
I can connect to the db with sequel pro fine. Have restarted the mySQL VM and that hasn't helped (site is on azure). Debug on the login page shows nothing out of the ordinary.
What should I be checking/doing to narrow this down?
Does the URL change when you submit the login form?
Have you tried with debug turned on?
No the URL doesn't change. You can see here: https://www.tefluk.com/admin/
Debug doesn't change either
Was this working previously?
You should update to the last version of Perch 2. https://grabaperch.com/update/v2-8-34
Yeah, for 4 years! Was in there just yesterday.
Have you now updated?
Yes, I updated the core folder, then went to /admin/core/update which redirects me to the login screen and same issue.
It's still showing as 2.8.29, so it sounds like you have bigger issues at play.
What could those bigger issues be? Everything else seems to be working except that login
I just went back to /admin/core/update and this time I did the update. I still can't log in though.
Here's the report from the update:
What's changed between when it was last working and now?
Nothing that I can think of. I downloaded the live db and connected to that fine on localhost, so think that rules out some sort of db issue. In the php error log all that appears is something about mailchimp but that error goes back to March. I removed mailchimp from app config and deleted the tables on live db just in case that was it but it hasn't had any effect.
Have you always used CloudFlare?
Yes we have
I'm not sure I have any more suggestions then. Is there anything else you can tell me?
Can confirm this was an Azure hosting issue. Nothing anywhere on the site could be POSTed. We went back and forth with Microsoft support for a week before realising how useless they were and changed hosts. All fine now.
