haah! no :( maybe selfoss should log a warning about config.ini being present but not readable? Thanks for helping, it works now :)

Hmm, is the config.ini file readable by the user your web server/PHP-FPM runs under?

string(0) "" bool(false) string(0) "" string(0) "" bool(true)

empty empty true?

The authenticated check is done here:

https://github.com/SSilence/selfoss/blob/9a1b107fd3d05dfa7f4cfb74d52293d0fef4aff7/helpers/Authentication.php#L66

Could you try dumping some more info?

It doesn't look good:

string(0) "" bool(false)

it's like there's no configuration? At least it's honoring the db settings (sqlite, local file).

I see a regular logged-in selfoss view, and no logout button. I'll try to apply the patch later.

The configuration looks correct.

What do you see instead of login form?
Do you see a regular logged-in selfoss view?
Is there a logout button in the sidebar?
Could you try applying the following change to the source code and sharing what the website prints?

I also raised the logging to DEBUG. No new info at all.

I migrated a selfoss installation from one server to another. In fact, I made a new installation and migrated db and config.

The old installation I don't know what version is, but it's not using composer or npm. That instance has user/password prompt OK.

The new one is v2.18, I ran composer and npm and all installed OK. The config is the same, but the instance is public (no user/pass prompt). Here's the relevant config section:

username=xxxxxxxxx
password=f143b54f4532ed3fc1e16e3763303a7e8e33a826d6858822fdd469af296972e11268cf343bc567....
salt=lkjl1289
public=0

I hid the user, cut the hash. I also tried with public=, but still same thing. Any ideas?
