Install an ntp server on your host/vm and start it with its default 
configuration.

Objet : Re: [Catalyst] Tutorial (in VMware) keeps losing ability toauthenticate

I seem to recall have authentication problems with a Catalyst app a while ago, 
but only in the IE browser.



IIRC the problem was something to do with the VM's clock losing sync and an IE 
cookies clash.
 



Check the clock on your VM is accurate - worth a go :)

I have been doing the Catalyst tutorial, at

I am using the VMware virtual machine, as recommended. This is running in 
VMware Fusion 5 Pro on a Mac. Overall it works perfectly fine, except that 
periodically, I lose the ability to authenticate to the demo CRUD app (MyApp). 
Based on observation, it seems that the only common factor is that it works 
fine before my laptop is put to sleep for the night, and it is broken in the 
morning. It doesn't seem to matter where in the tutorial I am. VMware, and 
often the Catalyst app server, are running when the laptop goes to sleep.

 (Arguably I should not do that, though the VM itself comes back just fine, and 
the app server still responds, it's just that I am no longer able to 
authenticate.)
 
Things I have tried already:
 
1. Move the ~/MyApp/ directory aside, remove /tmp/myapp (session data cache), 
and run the server from e.g. ~/Final/Chapter05/MyApp. This results in the same 
behavior (app server runs, and response to http requests, but when 
authenticating, all I ever get is the "Empty username or password" error).

 2. Reboot the VM
 
3. Reboot the Mac
 
4. Get to a working point, stop the app server, tar up ~/MyApp, and then next 
time it breaks,
 
        (stop app server)
         cd ~
         rm -rf ~/MyApp /tmp/myapp
         (untar the copy of ~/MyApp)
         cd ~/MyApp ; script/myapp_server -r
 
But that doesn't work, it exhibits the same behavior.
 
5. Delete ~/MyApp and /tmp/myapp and do the tutorial over again, pasting in all 
of the code from the web page. (This is the only approach that has worked so 
far, unfortunately.)
 
I am just learning Catalyst (obviously), so I don't have any good theories here 
except that sleeping the VMware VM is corrupting something in its memory or 
filesystem, causing the trouble. Memory would not seem to be a legitimate 
suspect though, because rebooting the VM does not fix the problem. Whatever is 
wrong is persisting across reboots, i.e. it's probably on the filesystem.

 Does the tutorial cache data other than in /tmp/myapp? I have tried to find 
other caches, but since I am running unprivileged, it seems as if it would not 
be able to write outside of my home directory or /tmp, and I've already looked 
in both of those. I don't see anything under ~/MyApp that appears to be dynamic 
data, only in /tmp/myapp.

 Thanks for any advice,
 Dan
