Why would back.php have different database access than index.php
/home/zebulon/project/
Only the "web" directory lives elsewhere. Each web site has a path like:
/home/emergencyquestions.com/public_html/
and in this folder would be other folders like:
/css
/images
/uploads
We have 2 front controllers:
index.php
back.php
They live here:
/home/zebulon/project/web/
Here is the odd thing:
I can log into index.php just fine. But when I try to log into back.php, I'm told "No such username can be found." I'm using the same username.
Why would the 2 front controllers give different login responses?
[UPDATE]
I should mention that WP Questions is still on the old server, and there I can log into the backend with no problem. So the problem is not exactly with the code, but rather, it is something to do with the new setup on the new server.
This question has been answered.

12:24pmBen says:are you using the same environment for both controllers
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration('frontend', <ENVIRONMENT>, false);
sfContext::createInstance($configuration)->dispatch();
ensure <ENVIRONMENT> is set to the same for both controllers.- 11/29/10 1:28pm
Lawrence Krubner says:This is from back.php:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration('back', 'prod', false);
sfContext::createInstance($configuration)->dispatch();
this is index.php:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration('contest', 'prod', false);
sfContext::createInstance($configuration)->dispatch();

Is your back.php inheriting from sfGuardSecurityUser ? check /apps/back/lib/myUser.class.php for the line: class myUser extends sfGuardSecurityUser

Lawrence Krubner says:backend end user class:
class myUser extends sfGuardSecurityUser

Nate Flink says:Is it possible that you have some .htaccess rules or redirects in the apache config on one server but not the other? Check your apache config. Are you sure your looking at what you think you are?

Can you paste your virtual host config and htaccess? -

(2) If the same problem as above, please post the tail end of the log file. -

10:04pmFlorian Klein says:As said above, first check the environment used in your front controller
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration('contest', 'prod', false);
Then, open your config/databases.yml to check if a different database access is defined in this environement.
example with propel:
dev:
propel:
param:
classname: DebugPDO
test:
propel:
param:
classname: DebugPDO
dsn: mysql:dbname=equipmoto2_test;host=localhost
all:
propel:
class: sfPropelDatabase
param:
dsn: mysql:dbname=equipmoto2;host=localhost
As you can see, in function of the environment selected in my front controller, the database accessed will be either equipmoto2 in prod or equipmoto2_test in test environment.
Other possible solution, you maybe are sharing the same session between the two applications:
check your session config in apps/<frontend | backend>/config/factories.yml, section storage:
symfony ref book
If you're using sfGuard, it will try to load the user by id stored in session, but it may be inexistent in one of your databases.

Lawrence Krubner says:I think you are right about sharing the session data. And, the cache data. One of the problems of this kind of setup, trying to centralize the code and then share it among dozens of sites.

I mean, try accessing through the 'dev' environment on both of the controllers, and look for the DSN configuration in the web debug on both. Do they differ?
