1.8.2 cannot login admin, always ask for "Please log in"

[irvinyip]

Hi All,

I just deployed 1.8.2 release as a docker container, map on host 80 port (http://url.docker.local). Everything works fine if I change config.php to define( 'YOURLS_PRIVATE', false ); MySQL database records get in properly and shorten links also works.

However, if I change define( 'YOURLS_PRIVATE', true ); I can't login even login name and password is correct, no matter I disable the hashing to make sure the password match with config.php. It always show "Please log in".

/.htaccess is default:

# BEGIN YOURLS
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ /yourls-loader.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END YOURLS

I also tried enable debug and only see on footer:

Connected to database my_yourls on x.x.x.x 
SQL perform: SELECT option_name, option_value FROM yourls_options WHERE 1=1 (0.00036 s)
Check for new version: no

Browser developer mode also shows no error.

Any suggestion on troubleshooting is welcome.

Thanks.

Docker noob here, I'm rarely using it so there may be better stuff to do than my following advice.

What * I * would do in such a situation: edit includes/functions-auth.php in the Docker container and temporarily add various var_dump() here and there, starting with yourls_is_valid_user(). The first thing I would investigate is whether the cookie is correctly created or not, which might explain the situation.

I'm having the same issue, have you managed to get it work?

Finally I protect the admin folder access with .htaccess with basic authentication, and my purpose is achieved.
