authentication doesn't works on phpmyadmin/wordpress

Hi there,

this is my first post on digitalpoint, and english is not my mothertongue..so please, be lenient

i run an ubuntu server 9.10 at home with LAMP installed.

For 6 month, phpmyadmin and wordpress works well.

Yesterday, I tried to log on the wordpress administration and phpmyadmin. Damn ! i fill the input boxes with my login/password, press the enter key, the page refresh...and the the login/password boxes became blank !

- No ERROR MESSAGE
- I'm totaly SURE of my login/password
- I can connect to MySql database (via SSH)
- i can visit my wordpress website

So my apache server doesn't work at all : Authentication seems to be desactivated (module issue ? Cookie issue ?)

It's outstanding...please if someone can help me, i'd appreciate !!

bye bye from france,

victor

 

Hi,

do you have the database backup?

Database may need throughly checked or repaired if corrupt.


For your reference only.

I didn't backup my database (i will do so) but i really think the problem is due to the apache server...don't you ?
What shock me the most is that there isn't any error message... (

thanks for your reply

 

Had the same problem with my hosting and they fixed after they changed somthing to the rewrite rules on the server. Also the template of the wordpress was a little bit changed when this happent. Make sure you don't have a virus, or an sql injection.b

 

i have some fresh news here:

i export my "wordpress" database from the server (via SSH and mysqldump command), and import on my laptop (via phpmyadmin included in WAMP program)

i got the same error : The wordpress website works fine on my laptop with the same database than on the ubuntu server, but when i try to log in, the page just refresh , and refresh. No error message...just refresh, and ervery time, my login/password vanish. Meanwhile on a healthy wordpress login page, a wrong login or password will generate an error message.

So, the php server is not at fault. I only could be

- The wordpress database corrupted
or else
- the .php page in the wordpress folder, composing the website.

I kind of lost...please help me

here you are the way i finally solved my login issue. (it's not the best solution, but it works)

by SSH command, i backup my wordpress database :
#mysqldump --host=SERVEUR_MYSQL --user=LOGIN_MySQL --password=PASSWORD --add-locks --lock-tables --quote-names --complete-insert --verbose DATABASE_TO_BACKUP > FILES.sql

then i purged the apache server :

#apt-get remove --purge mysql-server* php5* apache2* phpmyadmin && apt-get autoremove

and re-installed everything :

#sudo tasksel install lamp-server

then
#apt-get install phpmyadmin

I decided to keep the developing of my website in local (on my laptop, not on the ubuntu server)

The wordpress login issue wasn't caused by wordpress, but by phpmyadmin/mysql because once reinstall the both package, wordpress login issue was solved.

However, I still get a error message once login in phpmyadmin : "The connection to "remoteuser" as defined in your config file has failed"
But it doesn't prevent me to manage my databases...it's the most important

Thanks all for your reply,

victor
