    Default Re: User cannot log in nor reset password

    Also are all attempts being made off of the same network? E.g. Home network where a single router or network host is involved?

    Also for the site in question, is it all https:, only as needed for the transfer of information intended to be encrypted (ENABLE_SSL set to true and HTTP_SERVER starting with http:) or only http: (ENABLE_SSL set to false and HTTP_SERVER starting with http:)?

    All the tests were done with various devices on the same network/router. However, later in the evening, she asked someone else (her son), who has a different IP, to try and he also had the same issues. I am waiting to hear what IP they have, if they are similar or very different.

    As for https, i also thought of that, since i installed that ssl since her last purchase. I tried to use the http URL but it would immediately revert to https:

    Do you have an IP-blocking (.htaccess or otherwise) or captcha-like customizations for the site? As you've said, it sure sounds like something's blocking your customer's IP address.

    I never installed any IP blocking mod or set anything up.
    The only thin I did on my end since her last purchase 3 weeks ago, is install the SSL on my domain.
    Is there a setting in ZC that could have been "accidentally" changed? And if so, where should i check?

    I was thinking IP blocking from the beginning but, wouldn't that keep the customer from ever seeing the log in screen at all?

    Until the problem with another computer, I was thinking a windows host file redirect to an older site or DNS cache problem.

    Would be interesting to see a tracert after flushing the DNS on both machines.

    If windows, open DOS window == enter "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotation marks == enter "tracert thesite.com" without quotes where thesite is the site in question.

    The "tracert thesite.com" should resolve to the IP address of the site in question.

    Had a couple of occasions where the host file had been munged to send the customer to the new site while old site was still active. When the old site was turned off, the new site was moved to its new server with a different IP.

    Please Note: This is still just a WAG for a very weird problem.

    I can ask but I don't know what it would say to do that with the son's computer as he never used that site before, so nothing would be "on his computer" or in cache or anything of the sort.

    It's just my "dog with a bone" method of troubleshooting. By looking at both, you can rule out or include dns/ip spoofing.

    Default Re: User cannot log in nor reset password

    As I said, i can definitely ask them, however, i am not even sure what i am looking for or what it would mean.
    Would we get information to copy and paste here for interpretation or would that do something that would/should allow them to log in?
