Sessions in PHP 5.3.3 and kirby -

situation

i have implemented modified version of kirby auth plugin on client website, works way

• user accounts simple kirby content files title serving login , password field containing bcrypt encrypted version of users password
• on website, visitors can click on "customer area", goes template managed modified auth plugin (which redirects "login" form).
• the website multilingual. accounts file content/extranet/login/login.fr.txt or example content/extranet/bastian/bastian.fr.txt, modified auth plugin looking for, finds file , reads it, checks password, , logins users.
• this system requires account pages title same url, , invisible pages
• user logged in , can see in « secure » template files present in folder

this works here on local mamp server can see in screenshots, on production server http://www.driving-evolution.com, doesn’t work, , don’t know why, have looked in lot of places , don’t understand going on. (it doesn’t work on staging server either)

on production server, wether enter or bad login, form doesn’t show error message, , doesn’t log user in either. @ first thought maybe because of bcrypt install, not, disabled (and used plain passwords instead) , still didn’t work.

the issue seems not plugin here difference between live php stack , local php stack (my guess on php session handling).

remote php 5.3.3

hope able me on ! ask further info , give it.

turns out problem cms, file caching turned on , not ignoring "login", "logout", , "extranet" files (all related customer area), had add :

c::set('cache.ignore', array('api', 'sitemap', 'extranet', 'account', 'login', 'logout')); 

to kirby config (api , sitemap unrelated).

this fixes problem login form cached , not hitting on server. form not cached.
