Just upgraded from 1.3.9f to 1.3.9g now I can not log in to my admin. It takes me to the front of my store when I try to log in. If I click Resend Password it takes me to the front end of my store to reset my password. It was working fine before I upgraded. I need some fast help please! Thank You
I also tried this https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=2
It didn't work

Did you clear your browser's cache and cookies as directed in the release notes and announcement?

Yes I cleared the browser and cookies. This is the image of what it looks like when I try to log in to admin. Then when I click continue it takes me to the front of my store here.

That suggests that your admin configure.php file is the non-admin version of the file .... or you've got a busted set of rewrite rules probably from a so-called SEO addon.

I did a lot of digging into this and it seems to be the /admin/includes/functions/html_output.php file which is causing the problem. I replace the old file, and now I am able to log in. The new code in red prevents me from logging in.

if ($text == '*#' && (isset($GLOBALS[$name]) && is_string($GLOBALS[$name])) && ($reinsert_value == true) ) {
$field .= stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);
$field = str_replace('>', '>', $field);
} elseif ($text != '~~*#' && zen_not_null($text)) {
$field = str_replace('>', '>', $field);
$field .= $text;
}

I'm still waiting to hear from you about this DrByte if you would. Thank you

That's what's breaking your other things in your admin.

Well if I leave it like this I can not log on to admin. Without the code in the red I can log on. Something is not quite right.

$field .= stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);
$field = str_replace('>', '>', $field);

List of addons?

(you're the only one reporting login problems in 1.3.9g, let alone problems with that section of code)

The html_output.ph file in 1.3.9f is different than the one in 1.3.9g. If I leave the one that came with 1.3.9f it works fine. I don't know
Both my sites are doing the something. Here's a list. May be more I haven't thought of.

That doesn't make any sense at all, since that code is in the draw_textarea function ... and the admin login doesn't use any textarea fields.

How has your admin been altered vs a fresh uncustomized install?

They both were a fresh Install from my local host 1.3.9c. I just have been updating whenever you guys do. I haven't altered my admin except maybe some of the add ons I have installed. Everything was working with no problem except when I updated to the latest version. I can offer to give you my Admin and ftp information if you want to take a peek.

What exactly are the symptoms of the failed login?
An error message? Just a screen refresh w/o message? A blank screen?

As I said over on the first page there's a popup window. Look at the first picture.

shagging:

I did a manual fresh install of Zencart 1.3g and have followed the instructions and everything installed fine but I cannot login to my admin. When I try to login it takes me to the front of my store with the welcome message and the url or the "final alert message". I have been at this for over 10 hours looking for solutions everywhere and conacting my host (startlogic) who have been no help. Could someone please help? I did the install this morning and have done nothing else since the install.
DrByte is looking into this. Maybe he will have a answer today.

shagging's issue is completely different, and has been moved to its own thread.

Hmmm .... somehow I completely missed the symptom that you were being redirected to your storefront when logging in to your admin.

That can only be caused by two things:
a) your admin configure.php file has not got the admin paths in it properly
b) you've got rewrite rules in your .htaccess (or otherwise) which are doing the redirect on you

Hi
I had the same issues when I upgraded to 1.3.9g. When anyone tried to login they were just send back to the login page. No error or anything showing.
I restored back to 1.3.9f and all works fine.

Which .htaccess file would effect that?

I look at my .htaccess file and found I had a rewrite rule for the old facebook addon # rewrite fbcanvas directory and RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/fbcanvas [NC] After I removed this from my .htaccess file I installed the new html_output from zen-cart-v1.3.9g and now I can log on Very strange. That shouldn't have any affects on it i wouldn't think. Anyway here is my .htaccess file. I have rename my custom folder to admin.

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
<ifmodule mod_php5.c>
php_value zlib.output_compression 16386
</ifmodule>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^thegoodshepherdstore.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.thegoodshepherdstore.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]

Don't rewrite admin directory

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin [NC]

Don't rewrite editors directory

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors [NC]

Don't rewrite cPanel directories

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]

Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)

RewriteRule .* index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "yandex" bad_bot
<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from env=bad_bot
</Limit>

Same login proglem here after 1.3.9.g update.

I got an error msg of:

The requested URL /zen_cart/admin/alert_page.php was not found on this server.

And my login page is admin.php Why the new version points to an alert_page.php?
