2.1 Change the Password in the Database.

Nobody told me that before I decided to make my own tiny website, ha ha.Įdit: I updated the OP to put the solution up top. (And of course it's not just MW's problem it goes for any web work.) It's as if you have to become fluent in 20 different languages and areas of knowledge to do one thing. Wow MediaWiki and websites in general can be so obtuse. What in the heck do they have to do with the logon to a site on a completely separate server? Again, how can this even matter, and how is anybody supposed to know this?Īnyway, you've rescued me twice now, Seriously, can I send you some cash via PayPal or something? And and others here have tried to help mightily. And ultimately, again, it has nothing to do with my actual wiki. Did I break something trying to deal with the caching problem? So I'm randomly trying crap (shown above) that I have no idea what it is, to fix I know not what. Then Wednesday I can't log in to my own site. who'd have thought that all my desperate fixes were thereby having zero effect? How is anybody supposed to know this? lol it was my host's aggressive caching retaining the broke wiki (for up to 12 hours!). but after hours of frustration, it turns out it wasn't my wiki's problem at all.

First on Monday I appear to have completely gorked my wiki due to a simple LocalSettings.php typo. and Bam, I can log in just fine! (not incognito) Problem fixed. So I deleted all cookies associated with my tiny wiki website.

So then, given what the Manual said, it seemed quite possible that my cookies (on my own PC browser) were causing the problem. So I tried logging into the Editor account incognito. Remember I said I could log in with my Admin account just fine, but not Editor account? Well, I had been logging into the Admin account incognito (Win10 Chrome) so it would not confuse my non-incognito Editor logon. One of the first bullets here was "Does it persist after clearing cookies for the wiki domain? When logging in in incognito mode?"Īt which point it hit me. So I googled "Mediawiki browser dev console" and the top hit was Manual:How to debug/Login problems. or ones on the host server? I have no idea where any of this would be on the host server, or if there even is such a thing. what "browser dev console"? The browser on my PC? Something on my SiteGround site tools? Cookies on my PC. I wasn't sure what you were even talking about. I have manually flushed the server cache to make sure that's not a problem. In case it matters: Yesterday I had problems that I later id'd as due to host-server caching problems, thanks to helpful people here. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm using MW 1.35.1.

If I try to google this, all I get are a zillion hits about how to reset my password. (But I do all edits with the User account, so folks won't see the admin username.) The one with problems is my User account, but the admin account has no issues and can log on okay. Please resubmit the form.įortunately I'm not panicked because it's my tiny personal wiki that only has two accounts for me.

I keep getting a message that it's wrong that inevitably leads to the error message: There seems to be a problem with your login session this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. So I used Reset Password and typed in what it said. I didn't change my password but my usual one quit working. So I deleted all the cookies in my local Win10 Chrome for my wiki site and voila, no more problem. Which told me it was probably my browser's cookies.
