Several mojoPortals with same adminuser...can't logon again

OS: Microsoft Server 2008 R2 + updates

IIS: v.7.5....(the one buildt in R2)

DB: Microsoft SQL 2008 + updates

Mojo: mojoPortal 2.3.3.0

Problem: I'm creating a mojoPortal....logging in with admin@admin.com

I'm creating my personal user with ALL assoiations to the user (contributing editor etc.)

Then I create a second, third and a forth mojoPortal with the same username (admin/admin and the editor/editor user).

Then I can't log into oyher than the forth mojoPortal.......

What do I do wrong?

Re: Several mojoPortals with same adminuser...can't logon again

Hi,

You need to explain more carefully what you are doing step by step.

I have no idea what you mean:

I'm creating my personal user with ALL assoiations to the user (contributing editor etc.) 

Then I create a second, third and a forth mojoPortal

If I could understand what you are doing then maybe I could help.

Best,

Joe

Re: Several mojoPortals with same adminuser...can't logon again

Sorry for my "short story".

All server installation is OK.

I installed the first mojoPortal. Made the user terje@lovnes.no with the password "Passw0rd". Installed the second mojoPortal on the same server, exactly the same way as the first. The same with the third and fourth. 

I can logon the fourth portal as the user admin@admin.com with standard password. But on the first, second and third mojoPortal is that now impossible! The same goes for my own administrator terje@lovnes.no.

I didn't realize the problem after I had installed my fourth mojoPortal on the same server. So I can logon the last installed mojoPortal, but none of the first three portals :-)

You installed 4 different mojoportals in 4 different databases, or using the multiple sites option?

Re: Several mojoPortals with same adminuser...can't logon again

Please describe the url structure, do they all use the same host name like http://somwhost/mojo1, http://somehost/mojo2 etc or do theyeach have different host names?

If they all have the same host name it is likely a problem that they all use the same domain cookies so you may need to specify cookie paths according to their folders from Web.config.

So in the example above, I would try change the first site Web.config from this:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".mojochangeme" protection="All" timeout="50000000" path="/" cookieless="UseCookies" />
</authentication>

to this:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".mojochangeme" protection="All" timeout="50000000" path="/mojo1" cookieless="UseCookies" />
</authentication>

notice the Path changed to correspond to the folder the site runs in.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Several mojoPortals with same adminuser...can't logon again

http://www.lovnes.no/portal/default.aspx      on c:\inetpub\wwwroot\lovnes.no\portal\default.aspx           for my first mojoPortal

http://www.aalesundfilatelistklubb.no/portal/default.aspx   on c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aalesundfilatelistklubb.no\portal\default.aspx  for my second mojoPortal

and so on.......in different databases, on the same physical server (dc.2008server.local).

I'm not shure what I'm going to set the path to? Is it path="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\lovnes.no\portal\"

or

path="/portal"

?? Is it the pysical path or is it partial of the URL ??

I'm greatful for an exelent Portal! My mojo is increasing Cool for every day

Re: Several mojoPortals with same adminuser...can't logon again

Hi,

If they were all using the same domain but different sub folders then the /foldername might have helped it differentiate cookies across sites.

Is it just one web site in IIS? or d each domain have a different web site?

If they are all separate IIS Web sites and separate physical installations with different databases and different domains then I cannnot think of anything that could cause this. I certainly have no trouble running multiple mojoportal sites on my server.

Why are they all running in a sub folder named portal? Why not run it in the root of the site?

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Several mojoPortals with same adminuser...can't logon again

One Domain Controller (named dc.2008server.local) with Windows Server 2008 R2 [with current updates], with the new IIS v.7.5 and SQL 2008 [with current updates] and mojoPortal v.2.3.3.0.

All in different SQL databases, with different database login users [defined in web.config].

All web-sites is in different path's [or sub-folders, if you like] on the server.

Why not run it in the root of the site?

Because IIS is set the PORTAL subfoldet to an APPLICATION.............................Could that be the problem?

Re: Several mojoPortals with same adminuser...can't logon again

I have now deleted all sites and the corresponding databases and installed it all again.

Don't know what caused it, but I re-booted the server between each installation...and now it works!

Hurra!
