Customer/Admin Login problem

Opencart 4.0.2.3
Everything works perfect on production server.

Need to copy the project to localhost to dev enviroment (xampp).

1) Copy all files to local folder
2) Export/Import DB with phpmyadmin
3) Change pathes in /blablabla/config.php and /config.php (blablabla - the name of admin folder)
4) Delete cach in /storage/cache and /vqmod/vqcache and /vqmod/*.cache

Site works prefect, no problem with layouts, no any php errors/warnings/notices.

I try to login to /blablabla/ area, and can not: after submiting Login form I am redirected to /blablabla/index.php?route=common/login without any error.

The same story is with customer login, - redirecting to login form after submitting customer’s login form.

I truncated oc_sessions and did many other attempts, but I am still not Logged In

Help, please.

What this can be?

Opencart 4.0.2.3

First bad decision -> this version should not be used currently for production sites (too many bugs).

No error can't be!
Enable all error output and check afterwards the server error logs (not OpenCart's default error.log).

Do you have a .htaccess file that might be wrongly configured for your localhost?

I installed new OC 4 inctance on localhost: all works = > it's not a setting's problem of environment/
I checked all(any) possible errors - OC logs. php logs, all that i can image => now errors or wornings
I turned off all SEO => it's not an .htaccess or related.

Still looking ...

turned off any SEO, - no result.

May be, anybody has an idea how to track login proceess?

Looks like that public function login(string $username, string $password) in system/library/cart/user.php is not calling at all.

Use you web browser's developer tool to check the login request and response in the network tab. Also check the session cookie is not being reset and is for the correct domain and path.

Thanks, checked, all is ok with them.

Another abnormal behavior - /blablabla (my /admin) after submiting login forum did not show any msgs (incorrect login, etc). At the same time - show all messages on production site.

May be it cannot download/access from localhost to some third-party script? But dev consol (Chrome) is clean.

Check your admin common.js is correctly loading.

I've found a way (just a way, this is not a result yet )!

Definitely, i have problems with cookies.

When i add a product to the cart, after reloading the page - the cart is empty.

So, it means - i have problems with cookies/session.

====

Some interim result:

1) If i set up a new instanse of OC4, - everything works fine. I can loginf to customer and admin area, can add products to the cart, etc.
2) if i deploy local site from production server, - i cannot login to customer/admin area, the cart is empty after adding products.

I don't believe that XAMPP (i use it for dev environment) - has any problems after instalation from the package.

So, potentially, the problem can be in pathes of something (I don't know yet exactly what).

Of course, my both config.php are checked, so, may be anybody has an idea, where i can look?

Additionally, i found such error in a dev console (see atached).

Update:

When i enter http://localhost.dev, i see the OCSESSID in Dev console.
After submiting Customer's login form and redirecting, - there is NO OCSESSID.

When i enter http://localhost.dev/admin - there is NO OCSESSID from the start, even before the submiting form.

Ok, i've already fixed that (or not, i dont know exactly):

I changed $_['session_autostart'] to "true"", and now everything works.

But on production server this var is in false.

What is it, dos anybody know?

not sure if related but my admin login fails if I update the SEO URL files from github, only the stock 4.0.2.3 works. If I try and fix it, it locks me out of admin. I have to live with /catalog/controller/startup/seo_url.php errors until the next major update.

You might want to clear all the cookies and then check the domains, path and flags in the console. Maybe you have a redirect to https and you config is http or vice versa.

GitHub files (and I guess you mean the master branch) are NOT for production sites to use or to replace files in an existing installation.
Beside this, there are no SEO-URLs for admin pages.
