I just went live with my first MODx site and am having problems with the login process.
When I login I start off getting directed to the profile page, but I get redirected to the 401 Unauthorized Access Error page. Of course the correct url is in the address bar so I refresh, and then I am able to get through.
If I click on a link that is subscription only (while I’m logged in) the same thing happens. The login form goes back and forth from "you’re logged in" to "log in" depending on whether I get access to the page.
This seems like a cookie problem to me. I log in, but the browser doesn’t recognise that I am so off I go to the 401 page. If I hit he back button and clicked on the link again, many times I got through and sometimes I didn’t .
I thoroughly tested this process before going live and wasn’t having any problems at all.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks! ~Jules
Hi Jules
Shot in the dark but, when you say ’just’ launched, have you closed the browser and opened again, or deleted temporary files just in case this is a cookie caching problem.

As above and also clear the site cache in the manager
You might also check to ensure the login snippets are being called uncached [! !] and perhaps the cached status of the page itself may be a factor (I think they need to be uncached).
