Bug description:
Issue: keep getting prompted to login
some of the later conversation about the issue:
<robertl> in htdocs/init.php we set up $USER
<robertl> then hit the auth_setup() function
<rellwood> what file does auth_setup() live in?
<robertl> htdocs/auth/lib.php
<rellwood> WHAT THE...? It suddenly and mysteriously started working!
<rellwood> I added a trivial line in lib.php:
log_debug($USER->get('sessionid'));
<rellwood> and as I click around it's not asking me to login anymore.
<robertl> ok sounds like one of the log_debug() calls is setting things
correctly to session so the session exists
<rellwood> what the heck?
<robertl> I suspect if you remove the log_debug() lines the session issue
will come back
<robertl> it's forcing the staring of a session
<rellwood> This is in auth/lib.php, around line 396:
log_debug($USER->get('sessionid'));
<robertl> yeah there is a bit in lib/errors.php that check to see if session
doesn't exist and starts it
<robertl> for the debugging output
<robertl> this bit: if (!$SESSION && function_exists('get_config') &&
$CFG) {
<robertl> require_once(get_config('docroot') . 'auth/session.php');
<robertl> $SESSION = Session::singleton();
<robertl> }
<rellwood> Yes, that's confirmed. I removed the other log_debug lines except
that one: still works. Removed that one: doesn't work. put it back: works
again
<robertl> so ok we know mahara will work on your system if the session is
started correctly
<robertl> so now we need to know why it isn't
<rellwood> exactly.
So this is where we are at - the session does not seem to be restarted
correctly unless we add a log_debug() line in auth_setup() function - which
restarts the session if it is not started.
I suspect either the session is started correctly but then is
destroyed before reaching auth_setup() or the session is not started
correctly in htdocs/init.php
