Solution: phplist installation is in a vhost-environment, but not yet secured by https like most of the other vhosts. But in /etc/php5/apache/php.ini option session.cookie_secure was set to 1 (enabled), see SO. It also prevents from initialising the database with error message You have been logged out, because the session token of your request was incorrect. Hope that helps.
@duncanc: Thanks for pointing at php session handling.
Hello everyone,
I have a strange phenomena with the backend. I can login to the backend on different machines with different browsers, but after logging in, when I click a menu etc. I am returned to the login page. Result in browser address bar: .../admin/?page=logout&err=1
I’ve tested this with Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE - all up to date…
Funny thing is, I have one machine, where that does not happen. I can use the backend with Google Chrome but not with any other browser installed on the machine.
Server:
phpList version: 3.2.5, running on Linux Debian 8.5, PHP 5.6.24
Clients not working:
- Windows 7, 10: Google Chrome, FF, IE
- OS X 10.10.5: Safari, Chrome, FF
Exception:
Windows 7 and Chrome (one machine only, but not FF/IE on same machine)
Update: No more exception after deleting Chrome browser cache. Now I’am being logged out immediately after clicking on a menu item in the backend on every machine. Seems that the token management is not functioning. Furthermore: after the login there is no entry written to table phplist_admintoken. Any hints?
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot
