Cant login to admin just it refreshes

Sh*t, i just made a sale,. and i cant log in

Do you have 2 with the:
admin_name

of: Admin and admin

no just the 1, just saying that i had the user name and password in db

Can you post, from the server, the file:
/includes/configure.php

without the database username or password?

I did the reset admin password same thing
i do not get a wrong password entered error
i am running 1.51
php5.5
linux ubuntu server
floorz-n-more.com =storefront
floorz-n-more.com/XXX = admin

By the way, if you haven't heard this yet/before, you should not post your admin directory name unless you wish someone to be able to go to it, and by someone I mean anyone...

Having done so though, there is something amiss (or perhaps modified)... For some reason you already have the wait image showing that normally only appears after selecting Login...

Personally, I'm not sure what has caused this; however, if it were to happen to me, I would be looking to compare my admin directory code with known code looking for something that doesn't look right in comparison, if nothing found, then would look to see if there are additional unknown/unexpected .php files in directories. (Obscuring a file say testproduct.php by renaming to testproduct.old.php will not prevent it from being loaded. Of course ultimately not having it on the site will prevent it from trying to load and possibly conflict, but if to remain it should be renamed testproduct.php.old or something that adds the extension to the end.)

Somewhere in the midst of those reviews I would be looking for zero size files or possibly just reupload files that were recently transferred to the server. It may have been that the last action performed let it show what was happening, but that the change had already occurred before then (sessions, active code still remaining in "memory", etc...)

i assumed that when i got this fixed i would just remane the admin folder

i put it on there so people can see what it is doing

In your database table:
configuration

search for the configuration_key:
SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY

what is the configuration_value set to?

Is there anything wrong with the areas highlighted in red? (Question to the public) Have the SSL address, but don't use SSL?

where would that file be at

jimmie:

That is the admin/includes/configure.php file. (notice the content at the top in comments.)

I am asking about the database table:
configuration

Look in phpMyAdmin at your database and in the table:
configuration

search for the configuration_key:
SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY

what is the content of the field:
configuration_value

mc12345678:

There is nothing wrong with those settings ... everything will run fine ...

mc12345678:

That is the admin/includes/configure.php file. (notice the content at the top in comments.)

The includes/configure.php file had something similar for the main store; however, it appears that you just had a sale, which on the sales side appears that it doesn't prevent a sale that the secure server address has https, but the sale is not required to be secure.
(Welp, this became post 500..)

I have been corrected. Advised that those settings will not cause this issue.

Ajeh is still looking for a database answer, please continue that research...

Thank you, it was Blank, put 900 in and logged in.
