Okay, this is now in Portage.  To use this, you need to use webapp-config
1.10-r5 or later.  I had to patch the login code to make it work with my
existing wordpress upgrade, so please let me know if there's any problems with
this ebuild.

Hrm .. I'm going to have to take another look at my login-patch when I'm a bit
more awake.

Login does not seem to work on a new install of wordpress 1.2.
The default blog shows fine, and the login link from there works.
But when putting in the user "admin" and the password given on install,
it just reloads the login page asking yet again for login/pass.

I do have webapp-config 1.10-r5 installed.

I've put a new login patch in place.  It works for me on my existing install of
wordpress.

Please let me know how you get on.

I unmerged wordpress 1.2 and re-emerged. Letting the app setup the database
from scratch. Unfortunately I'm still having redirect limit errors when trying
to login.
I've tried it w/ firefox .9.2 on win32 and IE 5.5.

What's weird, is I was able to login on the first try via IE, but logging out
gave me a redirect error. When I tried to login again w/ IE, I got redirect
limit errors.

I deleted all cookies, tmp files, and basically everything from both browsers
and tried again. Redirect limit errors on each.

I can unmerge and re-emerge pretty simply, so if there is anything specific
you'd like me to try, just say the word.

Thanks,

I tried the wordpress ebuild this afternoon with no previous wordpress install.
 I got a redirect loop when I try to load wp-login.php.

It looks like checklogin() (in wp-login.php) is returning true when no
wordpress cookie is found.

I changed line 246 of wp-login.php to test for that:
-               if ($user_pass_md5 != $userdata->user_pass) {
+               if (!$userdata || $user_pass_md5 != $userdata->user_pass) {

I can log in now, I have not checked for similar problems elsewhere in the
login patch.

Kai, that change works for me as well, much appreciated.
If the login is looping because of the lack of a cookie, is the ultimate problem the fact that a cookie is not being set? My install does not attempt to set a cookie.

I've added Kai's fix as -r1.  Please test it, and let me know how you get on,
so that I can close this bug ;-)

Best regards,
Stu

Just installed -r1 and it's working great.
Muchas gracias,
