Package: drupal7
Version: 7.32-1
Severity: grave
I am unable to log in after doing a vanilla install of package drupal7
in jessie.
I am using the latest versions of PHP and mysql available in the testing
branch.
PHP Version 5.6.0-1+b1
mysql-server is 5.5.39-1
System Linux notosh 3.16-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.3-2 (2014-09-20) x86_64
I added these two lines at the end of my php.ini to get past the
multibyte string input conversion error
mbstring.http_input = pass
mbstring.http_output = pass
I reported this bug to drupal.org several days ago, to no avail.
https://www.drupal.org/node/2353901
I did a normal install of Drupal in default location /var/www//html,
created the database with phpMyadmin and it failed.
I tried virtualizing it and it failed as well, but my virtualization
works with my test site.
I set directory /var/www to AllowOverride All in apache2.conf, without
results.
Finally I installed your package and had long conversations with a user
who reproduced the issue, before deciding to file this bug.
I can install other PHP CMS like Zencart in my localhost OK.
apache2ctl configtest shows syntax OK, so do apache2ctl status and
apache2ctl fullstatus.
The error is very simple to reproduce: after installing drupal and
getting the screen "visit your new site" I am logged in as anonymous
user, the password for user1 is correct but it does not log me in, it
just returns me to login screen, no errors shown.
If entering incorrect password it will throw errors.
There are no errors in log, no white screens, just unable to login.
I tried all the tricks of changing password with drush, entering a mysql
query, etc. all according to Drupal documentation, but nothing worked.
I think that there is an incompatibilty between Drupal 7 and PHP 5.6.x,
but this is very serious because Debian servers with the next stable
will not be able to deploy Drupal 7, and Drupal 8 is very far from
usability due to most modules not still adapted to it.
I will not be able to use git in my local machine either.
Thanks for helping.
