[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
No, the problem does not go away. Not having been able to play with web2py yet, awaiting success of a working install, I am not sure or confident that the changes I made are being run. I think so, but I will take some experience with web2py on my turf of choice before I will get there, I guess. :) Thanks for the help Michel
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
Does the problem go away if you store sessions in the database? If so, it would tend to indicate a file permissions problem. Put this line in db.py right after the line instantiating DAL: session.connect(request, response, db, masterapp=None) On Oct 8, 2:19 am, MidGe wrote: > "Unfortunately, Python deployment remains tricky, especially on shared > hosting." > > Interesting. pbreit, as Python is pretty much new for me too.

"Unfortunately, Python deployment remains tricky, especially on shared hosting." Interesting. pbreit, as Python is pretty much new for me too. I find this tethering on the edge of an abyss a very strange stance in software development deployment and very different from anything I have ever done before in the field! Amazing perhaps but bizarre for sure, I'd call it... :)
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
Anthony, As I have said before on this forum on this an another topic trying to solve this problem. The problem is dependent on having webfaction as a host, web2py as application framework and using uwsgi. That is the only problem I am trying to solve. I have no problem with using Apache instead of nginx-uwsgi, django instead of web2py or fluxflex or local instead of webfaction. Grr! I am getting really frustrated with this Sorry... Again, thank you for at least trying to help me. :) Michel
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
Well, maybe try a different host and/or different web server.

[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
I understand your concern but will note that in a year and a half, Ive never seen this problem mentioned. It sounds like either your sessions are not getting written to disk. As Anthony suggested, double check /sessions to make sure you see some files there. Try deleting all of them and then accessing admin again. Make sure that directory is writable and/or owned by the correct owner (root, www-data, etc). The other thing is if cookies are getting blocked for some reason. Could be a Firefox security setting blocking mixed security cookies or third party cookies. Unfortunately, Python deployment remains tricky, especially on shared hosting.
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
Anthony, I do not find it very re-assuring that I have to get to that level of understanding of the framework in order to be able to complete an evaluation of the product. I am not sure if I can really afford the amount of time and effort for an evaluation stage only, with no more to proceed with. It looks a bit too ambitious for an old man! :) Thanks anyway Michel
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
To help isolate the problem, maybe start looking at whether the session cookies is getting passed back and forth, if the session file is being saved/updated in the /sessions folder, and if the /private/hosts.deny file is being created. You might also do some debugging in /admin/models/access.py.

[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
More and more bizarre... In the last post I mentioned the difference in behavior between Firefox and chromium. Well that difference is only occurring when using webfaction. On a local server, it all works perfectly fine, chromium or not!? I am getting a bit desperate here. I am a newbie when it comes to webfaction/web2py/uwsgi and I can't ascertain where the problem is? Webfaction, web2py, uwsgi or ?
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
I thought the problem was related only to webfaction web2py or uwsgi, but now, it seems that there is another issue. I am not getting the same behavior in different browsers! Chromium, gives me a double logo and a right panel log in, but Firefox doesn't, it simply shows back the original login page, allowing you to log as many times as you wish but never allowing you get anywhere at all except at another, and another,and another ... log in screen(Kafkaesque, if you ask me) . What else may help resolve this, or, at least know whether the problem is with webfaction, web2py, uwsgi or whatever!? Frustration mounting! Thanks
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
OK, I did a complete re download and re-install of the system. Right from the first log in in the admin GUI, using the password given on first execution of the rocket server to create the parameters file, I get the double logo as soon as I enter the admin area. See what it looks like here: http://i.imgur.com/7LZGP.png Note: this is web2py out of the box. No change at all. I know the system recognizes the password because if I enter a wrong one it gives back a message to that effect, and if I give the right one it doesn't it just presents the login screen again although I appear logged in. Has anyone got any ideas?
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
Yes, Massimo, as Anthony said, the problem seems to be webfaction/uwsgi related.
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
This is exactly the same problem I'm having with one project hosted on Fluxflex. Oddly, the same application code treats logins fine in one fluxflex project, while logins don't persist on another one. I don't know enough about the fluxflex server architecture to know how this would work (And they're not returning my support emails.)

[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
First time I see this. Looks like it logs you in and then when it does the ajax call it thinks you are not logged in. What browser? Does it work fine locally or is the problem only with webfaction?

[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
Ah ah, But then it is very likely everything else odd I am experiencing is related. What next? Why does the admin home page thinks I am not logged in? I would dearly love to fix this and start trying using web2py and see what it really is all about! Being a newbie at web2py I don't quite have the knowledge to do that yet! :)
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
Looks like it's related to your more general problem with logins not lasting on Webfaction with uwsgi: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/N3mHxZpSh5A/l1Ck9mW6QfYJ. That part of the admin home page involves an Ajax call to check whether the web2py version is current. Because it thinks you're not logged in, the Ajax call ends up getting redirected to the login page, so the login page gets inserted in the div that's supposed to include the version check. The image in the upper left just looks like a fixed positioning of the logo that's supposed to appear on the login page (i.e., it's floating outside the div).

hiya pbreit, Here ( http://i.imgur.com/7LZGP.png) is a screenshot in all its glory and yes, it is a brand new install. Is this normal?
[web2py] Re: Why showing a log in option inside of the admin interface
Something is wrong. Are you running a new install? Are you able to show a screen shot?
