Orangescrum only works on Firefox

[Nathaniel Welch]

Having a weird issue where Orangescrum will only work on Firefox. IE, Edge, Chrome, and Safari all will show the login page, but when entering the correct credentials, it does not login and just returns back to the login page. If you enter the wrong credentials, it will tell you they are wrong. Using Firefox, you can log in and do everything just fine.

I have reviewed the following and verified I have those changes in place:
https://github.com/Orangescrum/orangescrum/issues/58

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/orangescrum-community-support/ndCsXg-jtrQ

I am running CentOS 7 (latest updates) with a standard LAMP stack using the following guide:
https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-orangescrum-on-centos-7

Here are the important bits of the constants.php about my domain:

########################################################################

define("WEB_DOMAIN", "projects.otrclient.com"); //ex. demo.orangescrum.com

define('FROM_EMAIL_NOTIFY', 'proj...@otrclient.com'); //(REQUIRED)

define('SUPPORT_EMAIL', 'he...@otrclient.com'); //(REQUIRED) From Email

define('FROM_EMAIL',  'Orangescrum<'.SUPPORT_EMAIL.'>');

define("DEV_EMAIL", 'osc...@otrclient.com'); // Developer Email ID to report the application error

define('EMAIL_SUBJ', '[Orangescrum]');

// If you have not yet set up the Nohup cronjob, leave it blank

define('EMAIL_REPLY', "<div style='font-family:Arial;font-size:14px;color:#787878;margin-bottom:5px;'>Just REPLY to this Email the same will be added under the Task. <br/><span style='font-size:11px;'><b>NOTE:</b> Do not remove this original message.</span></div>");

define('RELEASE',1); //Increase the release version on every CSS/JS changes to remove the browser cache

##################### Domain and URL Constants ############################

define('SUB_FOLDER', '/'); //If your application URL followed by a folder name like: http://your-site.com/folder_name, put your folder name as 'folder_name/'

if(php_sapi_name() === "cli") {

define('PROTOCOL', "http://");

define('DOMAIN', "projects.otrclient.com/"); // Please set your application domain (REQUIRED)

}else{

$ht = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS']=='on')?"https://":"http://";

define('PROTOCOL', $ht);

if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != 80)

define('DOMAIN', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].":".$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']."/"); 

else

define('DOMAIN', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/");

}

define('HTTP_SERVER',PROTOCOL.DOMAIN);

define('HTTP_ROOT', HTTP_SERVER.SUB_FOLDER);

define('DOMAIN_COOKIE', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);

define('HTTP_APP', PROTOCOL.DOMAIN.SUB_FOLDER);

define('HTTPS_HOME', PROTOCOL.DOMAIN.SUB_FOLDER);

define('HTTP_HOME', "http://".DOMAIN.SUB_FOLDER);

Again, if I launch the site in Firefox, everything works 100%. I can create projects, assign tasks, manage users, etc. It is only if I try to use it in a different browser that I get the issue of it looping on the login page. There are no errors being logged, it just simply loops.

I have also done a clean install on CentOS 7 on a different host and the issue is the same on that one. Currently downloading Ubuntu Server to see if it persist on that as well.

[Nathaniel Welch]

Confirmed that Orangescrum installed on Ubuntu has same issue.

[Aaron Shaan]

Hi Nathaniel,

There might be some miss in the code.

Is it possible on your end to share the error.log file from app/tmp/logs?

Also, please share the version of  PHP and MySQL that you are using.

Did some more research. This seems to be CentOS 7 only. If I run CentOS 6.5, Ubuntu 16.04 (previous response of Ubuntu not working was an error on my part), or Windows Server 2012 R2, I can access OrangeScrum from any browser. It is only when I run CentOS 7 that I can only access it via Firefox. I simply moved to CentOS 6.5 and it is up and running now. Thanks for the support.
