$ReqURI not set correctly with Tomcat as webserver

1 Jan 16, 2006 15:27    

I have just installed Dawn in the following environment:
[list]Windows XP Pro SP2
Tomcat 5.5.8 webserver
Herberlin PHP Servlet
PHP 5.1.2
MySQL 4.1.12a
Java 1.5.0_06[/list:u]
The PHP info is visible at http://www.peacham.com/blogs/install/phpinfo.php

The install worked fine, and the database tables were constructed. I just can't login. When I try to go to the backoffice, I get the login page, but the login button doesn't work. The form is defined as:

<form action="c:\php\php-cgi.exe" method="post" class="fform">


which doesn't really send anything back to my server. Shouldn't the action be some php file on the server?

Yes, it should be a php script. Mine points toward blogs/admin/index.php. That's strange.

I don't know the code well enough to be able to figure out where this is coming from. Here's fhe log from your visit (minus IP address) in case that helps:

That doesn't really tell me anything. Sorry.

Fritz, please enable $debug in /conf/_config.php (set to 1).

This should output a debuglog at the bottom of the page an some info like "Getting ReqURI from 'REQUEST_URI'" or similar.

Please paste this and anything related around it here.

According to your phpinfo(), REQUEST_URI is not set and we'd want ORIG_PATH_INFO in your case.
Before trying to fix the setting of $ReqURI I'd like to get your debug-feedback though.

Ok, please try this:

in /b2evocore/_vars.php insert


elseif( isset($_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']) )
{ // Tomcat 5.5.x with Herbelin PHP servlet and PHP 5.1
        debug_log( "Getting ReqPath from 'ORIG_PATH_INFO'" );
        $ReqPath = $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO'];
        $ReqURI = isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && !empty( $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] ) ? ($ReqPath.'?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) : $ReqPath;
}

before


elseif( isset($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) )
{ // The Old Stand-By

I had to set $debug = true in _advanced.php, but here is the output. The patch didn't change anything. I noticed the same bad url on the "Next >>" fields in the blogs.

I moved it up one, above SCRIPT_NAME, and I was able to log in!

But now I get the login page before each backoffice page. I was able to delete DemoUser, but it clears my forms when I go through login, so I am unable to create a new user or even change the admin password.

Fine that it worked out with $ReqPath/$ReqURI.

The issue that you describe sounds like a cookie problem. Do you accept cookies?

Try deleting all for your domain and try again.

You could debug it using pre_dump( $_COOKIE ); - to see if a cookie gets send.
Additionally, for the login procedure there should be also info in the debug output: look at the Debuglog after you've submitted the login form and after you've got it surprisingly again.

I added the cookie dump to the login page and it shows:


*** Cookie ***: array(2) {
  ["cookieb2evopass"]=>
  string(32) "ce761f8534d2dfef6edb9e8836145eb3"
  ["evo_style"]=>
  string(9) "Variation"

I got the same information from my Tomcat log which shows:
