Can't login to client portal?

[oesman]

Hello,

 

I just installed WHMCS and while getting everything configured I decided to create a test client and login. I can not login with the test client at all. It just throws me back to the login page, no errors. If I click "Login as client" from the client profile while logged in as admin it says invalid login information. No messages in the error log. Does anyone know what's going on here?

Check that the test client's email address is validly formed - name@domain.tld

TonsOfStores,

 

Thanks, but it is. I can receive password resets, etc..

 

** Now I can't login to admin either :-/ **

My bad. I figured it out. The server was configured to run Apache as 'billing' user/group on this server and the session storage directory was not set to that group:

 

billing 13019 0.0 0.1 34608 8820 ? S 23:26 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd

billing 13020 0.0 0.1 34608 8820 ? S 23:26 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd

billing 13021 0.0 0.1 34608 8820 ? S 23:26 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd

root 13263 0.0 0.0 3920 756 pts/8 S+ 23:31 0:00 grep -i billing

[root@billing php]# ll

total 8

drwxrwx--- 2 root apache 4096 Dec 10 2008 session

[root@billing php]# chown root.billing session/

[root@billing php]# ll

total 8

drwxrwx--- 2 root billing 4096 Dec 10 2008 session

[root@billing php]# ll session/

-rw------- 1 billing billing 95 Nov 2 23:32 sess_4h2ui3ck5449t0uoo1umrlmgl0

-rw------- 1 billing billing 0 Nov 2 23:32 sess_d86builjqvlhufhgtrblaha830

[root@billing php]#

 

I guess the old system used the db to store sessions. I wonder how WHMCS worked at all then when I first installed it!
