Hi all,

I really enjoying using bludit for my blog.
Today I tried to update the cms from 3.15 to version 3.22.
The site works fine after the update. The admin login fails.
I have tried the recovery tool, but that doesn't fix it.
After the roll back the site and admin pages work.
What could be the problem here?

Kind regards,

Marcel

Is the username something else than "admin"?

Hi Edi,

Thanks for your feedback.
I tried it with admin and a other user name.
Doesn't make a difference, the page reloads and stays on the login page.
I also saw that other issue with the login page not redirecting to the correct url, checked that and it does not seem the probleem I have. ( viewtopic.php?t=3190&sid=bf0f0464dc445c ... 9a16ac3ab3 )

Kind regards,

Marcel

I also tested it in an other browser.
Normally I use Brave. Cleared al cache and tried it again.
Tested it on an other computer in the Chrome browser, same result.
So there is a difference between 3.15 and 3.22 in redirecting to the dashboard page.
I will check if I can find problems in the javscript console.

Regards,

Marcel

Hi,

Looks like we need additional information:

* Is your server Linux/Windows/FreeBSD?
* What PHP version?
* Is the problem also happened on the latest development version?

Problem solved.
session_set_cookie_params() works only on newer PHP versions.
I updated the PHP first setting in DirectAdmin and the admin pages work!

In the requirements on the Bludit documention page:
PHP v8.0 or higher.
PHP 7.4 seems to work fine, I will ask my provider to upgrade to 8.
