Can't log in to Drupal websites after upgrading to OSX Yosemite

By Anonymous (not verified) on 30 Oct 2014 at 14:30 UTC

I have just upgraded my local machine to OSX Yosemite which has changed my Apache version from 2.2 to 2.4 nd my PHP version from 5.4 to 5.5.

When I visit both example.com/user and example.com/user/login and enter my username and password, the login form appears to post the data and then 'loops' back to it's original state i.e. blank fields.

This is the same across all websites and all browsers and is the same for all users.

There is nothing in any of the error logs but…

"POST /user HTTP/1.1" 404 16744

… in the access logs

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Thanks,

Are the sites you cannot log

Jaypan commented 31 October 2014 at 05:40

Are the sites you cannot log into local, or remote? And if local, are you using MAMP?

Might be a problem with clean

Might be a problem with clean URL's. Maybe you can try to login using URL http://yoursite.com/?q=user/login, and troubleshoot from there.

Did i answer your question on the forums? I love to hear a reply wether or not it worked for you!

Thanks for the comments above.

To solve the problem, you need to edit your httpd.conf file, uncommenting the following line:

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so

(Line 168 in my httpd.conf)

Then restart Apache using sudo apachectl restart command.

This worked for me.

Same Issue Running Acquia Dev Desktop on Yosemite

Thanks, swilsondesign!

I had the same issue running Acquia Dev Desktop on Yosemite. Couldn't log into any of my local Drupal sites, no error msgs. Here's my setup:

Mac OS 10.10.1
Acquia Dev Desktop [Version 2 RC, Dec 18 2014 build]
Google Chrome 39.0.2171.95 (64-bit)

swilsondesign's solution worked:

Edit /Applications/DevDesktop/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Uncomment 'LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so' (line 148, roughly).

Same with Nginx

I have the same problem with Safari (8.0) in Yosemite (OS X 10.10).

When I try to log in the page just reloads and the form is empty again.

I am using Nginx as web server so the solution above doesn't work for me.

I also can't see anything in the error logs, and in the access log I see this:
"POST /node?destination=node HTTP/1.1" 302 5 "http://dev.qshout.com/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.111 Safari/537.36"

My settings for Nginx is:

location / {
	try_files $uri @rewrite;
}
location @rewrite {
	rewrite ^ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
	fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
	include fastcgi_params;
	fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
	fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
	fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock;
}
