Hi, I've a problem that the admin section won't let me in any more like an adminuser. It looks like the system knows I use the right password, because it isn't complaining about a wrong password, but it shows an empty login screen again.
When I enter a real wrong password the system will complain.

Had the same problem.

It's not I who personnaly solved it but it was a disk space issue. Because of the mysql logs if I remember correctly.

Hi,

Same kind of problems have been reported in the french community site (see http://www.ezpublish-france.org/index.php/fr/forums/questions_techniques/connexion_impossible_a_ez)

Nothing to do with disk space, nor IE (happen with Opera, IE and Firefox on both Linux and Windows client)
Have really no idea why, seems to me to be random except that:
- I didn't notice it before upgrading to 3.6.x
- Seems to happen on website run on an IP address

Would like to make it as a bug but I need more info...

Through a mistake in an .htaccess file, I created a situation where no form could be submitted. As a test, you might want to try to submit a contact form on your site. If it works, you should see a confirmation page showing you results of your submission.

If it does not, you will get a blank page. If you get a blank page, the culprit is very likely the rewrite rules in either the .htaccess or httpd.conf.

Thanks for the replies.

We've found the root cause:
The file ezsession.MYI was corrupted.

Hi,

Did a 'myisamchk /var/lib/mysql/ezpublish/ezsession.MYI'
Everything looks fine but I can log only once in 2 time....
