Login reload on Staging Subdomain in ProcessWire

[W2me92]

When attempting to log in to the ProcessWire dashboard on the staging subdomain the following occurs:

• After entering a valid username and password, the login form 
• The URL changes to include /dashboard
• Instead of redirecting to the dashboard, the page reloads the login form without any error messages indicating "wrong user or password."
• The login process appears to loop without successful authentication.

Observed Behavior:

• No Error Messages: No alerts or messages are displayed indicating incorrect credentials.
• Page Reload: The login page simply reloads after submission.
• URL Change: The URL updates to include /dashboard, suggesting that the form submission is recognized but not processed correctly.

please help ?

Hello,

Are you using Apache? Is it configured to read .htaccess files? Is mod_rewrite enabled?

This could also be a browser issue.

One example would be a cached 301 redirect from an old staging install on the same URL.

Modern browsers are caching these forever and it's a pain to make them forget the redirects.

I had the same issue, but now everything is good.

 

Edit: I forgot to ask, have you resolved it or do you still need a help?
