cotonti.com : Can't login when using non-standard port

OK, as I don't need this to work (the same install is happily working on port 80), I will just pretend I never saw it. :-)

In a past life I got paid to test software. Ever since I seem to gravitate toward breaking stuff that can't be broken. Good skill -- unless I am just trying to get something done.

I'll test it on a custom 8092 port and let you know what I find. There may be a bug. Thanks for reporting!

Added 26 minutes later:

I was able to log-in using port 8092. Here is my mainurl from datas/config.php:

$cfg['mainurl'] = 'http://192.168.0.101:8092/cotonti';

I've found a bug when using custom port and $cfg['multihost'] = TRUE, but it's a different thing.

in data / config.php $cfg['mainurl'] = 'http://coolserv:8092'; what are you wearing like this ?

I didn't configure cookies because I could never log in. But, it turns out that the actual URL and error message was still in a tab on the browser on another system. This is after filling in the login box. I am reasonably sure 'remember me' was not checked.

The URL was: http://coolserv:8092/login.php?a=check

The message in the page being displayed was: An error occured, maybe a wrong URL?

As I said, by just setting up a virtual host on port 80 and changing the URL in config.php, it worked fine.

Did you configure cookies correctly? Usually login problems are caused by having an incorrect cookie domain or path in Administration panel / Configuration / Security. You can try to login without enabling the 'remember me' checkbox, that will log you in using a session rather than a cookie.

In my first attempt to test out cotonti, I set it up on port 8092 behind Apache. It installed fine but when I attempted to login as the admin I got redirected to a page not found error.

While I have used this "trick" on other software with no problem, I thought it might be my error and moved it to port 80 by just updating the URL in the config file and the Apache sites-available files and it works fine. Because this was Try #1 for me, I didn't save the details of the message but am relatively sure it seemed "sane". That is, had the port number in it.

Clearly this is not a show stopper for anyone but I felt it worth mentioning.

Oops, for to say thing: it is Sienna downloaded this morning from github that this happened with.
