Bug #34916	Login not working on new forge site

Category:	MySQL Websites: MySQLForge	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	forge1.mysql.com	OS:	Any
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	forge, login

Description:
I go into the login page, enter my email and password (the ones I use on the dev.mysql.com site )
and I get redirected back to the home page but the login is not registered.

How to repeat:
1- Go here http://forge1.mysql.com/
2- Click the "login" link on the top right corner (http://forge1.mysql.com/people/login.php )
3- Enter you email and password
4- Check mark on "Remember me on this computer"
5- Click login.
6- Go to any code snippet and try to add a tag, it will say you need to be logged in

Suggested fix:
I wonder if is has to do with the subdomain being forge1.mysql.com

Sorry, I can't repeat this problem.

Please try with the following steps:
* make sure that you had an account on the old *Forge Wiki*. If you never
  used the wiki, you can't access the new forge with your previous account
  and you need to enter a new one
* remove all cookies related to forge1.mysql.com or forge.mysql.com
* enter the email address and password that you had in the old forge wiki.

Hi,

I did not have an account on the old wiki, only on the old forge, so I guess that was the problem, now, I just created an account on the "old forge wiki" but this did not help on the new forge site. Do the new forge and the old wiki use the same tables for storing the usernames/passwords?

If not, Id did not get any error message saying my username cannot be found or similar message, should I report a new bug for this?

Anyways, the new Forge looks very good, I'll see if I can break anything else there. ;-)

The new forge is temporarily using a copy of the old wiki database for login.
From March 2nd, the new Forge will use the old wiki database, and the old Forge will be dismissed.

Anyway, if you can replicate the login behavior you described before (which I could not), by all means file another bug.
Thanks for your help
