What to do when you can no longer login to your Drupal site

Submitted by fgm on Thu, 2011-08-04 09:51

So the scenario is this: you notice that you are no longer able to login on your Drupal site:

the {users} table entry for your account looks just fine
the login and access timestamps on your account are just a few seconds old, matching your latest attempt to login
you reset your password in the DB, just in case, and it still does not work
the telltale is that Drupal will not even tell you your login failed: it actually works, as the {users} table shows, but yet you are not logged in

Can you guess what can have been going wrong and fix it ?

Tiny tip for the day: a one-liner to get the number of tables on a MySQL server across all databases:

mysql -BNe 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLES' information_schema
