Admin login don't redirect to panel

Question

I import a project on my local but I don’t have an access to the admin panel. I enter the right id/password, but after this, it's redirect me to the login page again with an url with params like this :

controller=AdminLogin&token=beea5c47ad0213dbc06a5fb335bda892&redirect=AdminDashboard

I tried a lot of stuff but nothing get me to the admin panel. It seems to have a problem with the session or the cookie..

I also tried many environments : windows (xampp), debian, ubuntu

And differents php version : 5.6, 7.0, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4

My version of Prestashop is 1.7.1.2

Answer 1

Usually this kind of problems in prestashop are related to cookies (I guess you tried from incognito, if not give it a try) or to some data that needs to be changed on your db.

You should check the db for occurrencies of the remote assress (e.g. https://myecommerce.com) and modify them with your local address (e.g. http://localhost)

Look for the remote address in the tables ps_configuration and ps_shop_url (I'm assuming your db prefix is ps in case is different use your own) and change the occurrencies you find according to the local address, that should solve the issue or at least part of it.

Let me know,
