Enabling 'Authentication Required' makes site inaccessible

Added by Siddharth Misra over 12 years ago

Hi,

My redmine install is on a subdomain redmine.domain.com and the site is running on a VPS (centos) managed by cPanel.
I have already got another instance working fine on a ubuntu server (self install), but on this one (installed by vps support personnel) there are two issues :

1- Once logged in, unable to logout
2- If "Authentication required" option is enabled in Settings, only logged in users can visit site, others get 404 error.

I am fairly good at configuring servers but am more used to the LAMP environment and quite the n00b at ruby/rails, so a few hints will also do :)

That isn't the expected behavior when a user clicks "Sign out". What's in your logs about this?

That is sort of the expected behavior... See RedmineSettings#Authentication-required. Anonymous users should be redirected to the login page instead, IIRC.

Which particular log are you referring to? I checked in the mongrel log but didn't see any new entry after trying sign out.

I think you misunderstood me. Logged in users can see redmine. Those who are not, get 404 (site not found) on the browser. There is no redirect to login page.

I mean the logs in {{REDMINE_ROOT}}/log/production.log assuming you are running Redmine in production mode. I understand you are using mongrel to serve Redmine. I know there are/were several issues with it running current Redmine versions, though I haven't used mongrel myself for a long time so can't actually help on this.

Indeed, that is unexpected and unwanted behavior. I think it is most-likely caused by the issues with mongrel itself or the way it is configured.
