I'm new to silverstripe and I picked up a website that had already been built (always interesting), I managed to make changes to the ss files and get the new design working as well as the new navigation, however I added myself to the admin users and ever since I did that the log-ins don't seem to be working and I'm pretty sure that the admin url has changed. The url used to be mydomain.com.au/admin, but now when I type that in it goes to mydomain.com.au/Security/login?BackURL=/admin/ and when I log-in on this page with the correct details it goes to: http://www.mydomain.com.auhttp//www.mydomain.com.au/Security/login#MemberLoginForm_LoginForm_tab, which clearly can't be right and I got an oops message from google chrome.....

Does anyone have any suggestions?

The ?BackURL part is normal, as it tells the login form to redirect you back to the admin area after you login.

Can you describe what you see on the page after attempting to login? You talk about the URLs, but not what you see on the page. That'd help.

Also, if you know how, set your site to dev mode in order to see any errors that might be coming up.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your email, this is what I'm seeing:

http://www.tapssa.com.au/login.jpg (developer code below)

http://www.tapssa.com.au/error.jpg (looked the same in dev mode)

I quickly set the site to developer mode, went to the login page can copy/pasted the code below then set it back to live. Please see below.

Do you have the variable $BaseHref inside your main Page.ss template ?
