Am unable to login to my joomla site al of the sudden despite having the right credentials. I have changed the password via my phpadmin but in Vain. I tested it with wrong/non existent logins and am able to get the error message that username/password are not valid. However when I use valid logins, the site just refreshes and brings back the login panel. I have cross checked my configuration file and all looks okay.

Some one please help out.

  • Are you sure it's not something simple like having CAPS enabled? Are you getting anything in the PHP error log?

  • What was the last change you did to your Joomla site, if any?

    Then I suspect you have been hacked. Myjoomla is a service that can detect and correct hacked sites. They (myjoomla.com) will allow you to do an initial scan of your site for free. Their clean up service is ranked very well and I have heard that it is well worth it. I would run the scan...

Probably your IP is banned. Change IP (use a vpn or restart your router) and try again.

I've tried it before.

Sometimes it was enough to delete files from the browser cache. Sometimes another browser and sometimes to set set the cookie domain and path in the configuration.php
