Ajax login form takes forever & account problem (w/ custom domain)

Summary:

1) The ajax login form takes forever, but I can still login. 2) Logging into Wikidot first doesn't log me into my own site.

Ajax login form takes forever

doannhutung 24 May 2008 07:00

After I provide the correct userid and password, the progress bar runs forever, and the login form is not dismissed. If I wait for a while and just close the current tab, then when I open a new tab and navigate to my site, lo and behold, I'm already logged in.

I started to have this problem about three days ago. I tested with Firefox 2 and IE 7 with the same results.

I can still login, but having to close the current tab, and then open another is frustrating. Please help.

Thanks,

—DNT

P.S. My site is at: ILoveHYEC.com.

I think I have seen this before. You can try deleting the relevant cookies which should get it back to how it worked originally if the issue is cookie related.

That is intresting… could be this is the problem of the user domain .. we had / have some problems reported with this issue on the front end ( and not wikidot) .

AND : http://contributors.ilovehyec.com/ is NOT a wikidot serviced site ? ? ! !

I can test this easily - I am not logged in when I switch to this site.

Please - try to login on a "standard" wikidot site to check this problem out.

I get this from time to time.

If it doesnt sort it self out within 5 - 7 secs i just refresh my browser.

Sorry for the confusion!

I made the strange experience, I was logged in in all wikidot sub sites in all browsers (FF,IE) in all tabs ,
and than opened the ilovehyec site and WAS NOT LGGED IN. - I had to log in or create an account…

This has the look like a"private" wikidot installation with the open source anywhere (in china ? There is no "about home" info..).

Now I made a test with "ping" command to find the network ip- adresse of this site -

the site has the same ip adress as wikidot itself… my assumption was wrong!

BUT : go to the site and you will detect the same situation - YOU ARE NOT LOGGED IN ( in IE 7.0!
in FF it works as usual - I am logged in…

Best regards
Helmut

C:\>ping www.ilovehyec.com or
ping www.wikidot.com gives the same ip adress….

Oh, my God! You're right, Helmuti!

I logged into the Wikidot community site (to write this post), and then opened another tab to browse to my site (ILoveHYEC.com). I was NOT logged into my site!!!

I've never discovered this problem before because I always logged into my site first and then went to the Wikidot community site, which works perfectly fine.

My site is just a normal public Wikidot site with a custom domain name (ilovehyec.com is the main domain, and www.ilovehyec.com an alias). The Wikidot-subdomain is: hyec.wikidot.com.

This is a very strange phenomenon. Could anyone explain this? Can it be considered a bug?

Btw, the ajax form problem persists. Having to refresh (or to clear the cookies) to dismiss the form cannot be considered normal behaviour can it?

If I go to URL [http://hyec.wikidot.com/] the the login works automatically AND CORRECT.

if I open the URL ilovehyec.com the site cannot be found.
If I open the URL [http://ilovehyec.wikidot.com/] the site cannot be found ? ?
if I open the URL www.ilovehyec.com then the site opens with:
**[http://www.ilovehyec.com/] and i AM logged in!

What is ongoing here?

Of course, it cannot be found. It doesn't exist — at least I didn't create it. :-)

The custom domain ilovehyec.com points to hyec.wikidot.com

if I open the URL ilovehyec.com the site cannot be found.

That's strange! This is our club's official URL: I can open it; our members can open it — and our members are in Vietnam, the UK and Denmark. I hope this problem is not due to where on the earth you browse from. Gosh, this is getting me crazy.

Why all these problems suddenly appear? I just followed perfectly the instructions for setting up custom domain. The cookies must hate custom domains so much, I guess. :-(

P.S. I use FF2 mainly, IE7 just for checking. So this problem is not FF3-related like the other thread.

No one knows how to solve this problem? Maybe, we'll just have to live with it until version 2. :(

Thanks Craig for the suggestion. It's really a cookie-related issue: After I cleared the cache and the cookies, everything went back to normal. Thanks others for your replies.
