Admin Login Error - go to wrong URL / address

I got exactly the same issue.
Strange "bug (?)"

Just go to the real backend address.
Admin tab > .ini settings > select "site.ini" as file to edit > change the value of "AdditionalLoginFormActionURL"

Then clear the cache.
It should be ok :)

Hi,

Yes this inconvenient bug that has been in several versions of eZ Publish now.

I've reported it as an issue (see http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=14569&ProjectId=3).

Basically, this bug needs to be resolved or go into the documentation as something that needs to be fixed for any (eZ Web Interface?) installation.

Until it's fixed, you need to the following whenever you're installing an eZ Publish:

(either edit the setting via the site admin as Adrien M is suggesting, or ...)

Once the installation is completed...

Edit the file [your_ezrootdirectory]/settings/siteccess/[your_usersiteacccess]/site.ini.append.php

That file contains an INCORRECT setting created by the install process, in the [SiteSettings] section:

AdditionalLoginFormActionURL =http://[admin_siteaccess]/index.php/[admin_siteaccess]/user/login

It needs to be corrected to read:

AdditionalLoginFormActionURL =http://[www.yourdomain.com]/index.php/[admin_siteaccess]/user/login

for example, your version might read:

AdditionalLoginFormActionURL =http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/my_admin/user/login

Once you have edited this file, clear your site cache to ensure the change takes effect.

If you get a chance, vote for the issue above (follow the link to it, then vote) so that the eZ Crew can see this is a priority - especially for new users.

Hope that helps
- Paul
