Hi all - I am in the process of migrating to a new server (to go from shared hosting to a VPS). I was at 4.7.2, and tried to install 4.7.3 on the new server. However, I think the new server machine is the issue, not the drupal version. (BTW that means this post is miscategorized as an upgrade problem, but that seems like the closest thing).
Everything went pretty well with the move, except I am unable to log in. When I try to log in with the admin account or any other account, I get "Sorry. Unrecognized username or password. Have you forgotten your password?"
When I click on the "have you forgotten your password" link for kicks and enter my username (eg drhilarius)/email, I get "sorry. the username drhilarius is not recognized."
But the thing is, I go to the users table in the database, and all the users are in there!
So here's what I know:
- Drupal is successfully accessing the database (all the nodes are showing up fine)
- Drupal is successfully getting a hold of the form data (I know this because it said "the username drhilarius is not recognized")
- I'm pretty sure issue is with the new server, not the upgrade, because I tried installing a 4.7.2 instance on the new server and the same thing happened. (They were both pointing at the same db fwiw).
- I don't think it's a problem with Md5ing the passwords or anything, because the above error complains that even the username is not known.
