Magento 1.9 customer/account/login/ not working

Magento 1.9 customer/account/login/ not working

No idea why suddenly the customer/account/login/ page keeps redirecting to the same current login page, even if I input wrong account info I can't get any error info.

 

The Ajax popup login form works well. But sometimes it fails to popup while clicking the login button and the page will be directed to customer/account/login/

 

I've added the following codes to the customer login page but still doesn't work

<input name="form_key" type="hidden" value="<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey() ?>" />

 

And occasionally I found that if I set System→Configuaration→GENERAL→Web→Search Engines Optimization→Use Web Server Rewrites to NO, the login page will work but we need these url rewrites.

 

I attached the .htaccess file as below, and all url rewrites are just related to the products link.

Re: Magento 1.9 customer/account/login/ not working

Hello @emily_cheng,

 

There may be several reasons like Magento upgrade, server change, from key error or cookie issue but in most of the cases, this situation is happening due to cookie problem or form key problem.

  1. Firstly, you need to check if form key has been passed properly or not? If it’s not, add following code at app\design\frontend\Themes\Yourtheme\template\persistent\customer\form\login.phtml
    <?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey')?>
  2. If the form key is properly passed and still you are unable to login, you have to change cookie lifespan. Generally, default Magento cookie lifespan is set to 3600 (1 hour). Because the server timings of user’s computer and Magento cookie lifespan does not match always, to resolve this issue, you need to set the cookie lifetime to 86400 (1 day) through the Magento admin and your issue will be resolved.
    Go to Magento backend -> System -> Configuration -> Web -> Session and Cookie Management and Set cookie lifetime to 86400 and save. Everything will work as expected now.

  3. After trying both the solutions above, if you still face an issue, you need to set cookie domain along with dot at the start of the domain and your login will again start working like a charm.

Hi @gelanivishal,

 

Thank you very much for your reply!

 

Unfortunately, I've tried all of these ways before and none of them worked. 

 

And I use this module: youama.com/ajax-login-and-register-magento. While disabling the jQuery library on its setting page, the login form will always pop up as I want but I have my own jQuery files. Maybe it's jQuery files conflict sometimes? Not sure as I'm new to Magento...

Re: Magento 1.9 customer/account/login/ not working

Hello ,

still i am facing the same issue. I have commented the varient.php session code which is mostly told in any search.Please let me know the exact reason. Now i have set 86400 i.e. 24 hrs.

 

Still no success for login with chrome only...Other browsers login easily.

Re: Magento 1.9 customer/account/login/ not working

There could be a error from your side. Try login in incognito windows or private windows. If you still facing any issue you can try by visiting Gacha Nox
