Describe the bug
Multi user setup via wordpress authentication fails with the following message:
'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_version() (previously declared in /usr/share/webapps/wordpress/lwt/inc/kernel_utility.php:28) in /usr/share/webapps/wordpress/lwt/inc/kernel_utility.php on line 28'

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Setup Wordpress under wordpress.example.com
  2. Install LWT as a subfolder under Wordpress
  3. Fill in "connect_wordpress.inc.php" and rename to "connect.inc.php"
  4. Restart Webserver and when accessing wordpress.example.com/lwt a blank page is shown

Expected behavior
The wordpress login screen should display and after one has logged in the LWT site should be visible.

Screenshots
N/A

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Browser Chromium
  • Version 104.0.5112.101

Additional context
This originally worked before LWT was abandoned

    Hello!

    I investigated your issue and I think I pinpointed the cause. Can you try changing require 'kernel_utility.php'; by require_once 'kernel_utility.php'; at line 10 of inc/start_session.php (file start_session.php in folder inc)? It may try to redeclare functions, that should be the solution.

    Please tell me if it worked, so that I can close the issue!

    Hi

    Thanks for investigating. I am still experiencing an underlying issue.
    The webpage posts the error:
    This page isn’t working wordpress.example.com redirected you too many times.

    The error log reports:
    [Tue Sep 06 19:03:45.690507 2022] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 27240:tid 140181711517376] [client 127.0.0.1:55836] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined global variable $$dsplerrors in /usr/share/webapps/wordpress/lwt/inc/start_session.php on line 51'

    Hi!

    Replacing $GLOBALS['$dsplerrors'] by $GLOBALS['dsplerrors'] (remove the $ in inc/start_session.php) should solve your issue. I don't know when these errors appeared, since I'm not using WordPress, and I avoid modifying the code related to it.

    I will try to publish a bug fix release by the end of the week, since I also fixed problems with LOAD DATA and such.

    Hi Hugo

    The error log is now clear with the changes you identified. One issue is still persisting with too many redirects (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS) apparently under wp_lwt_start.php

    I may have found the solution, try replacing header("Location: ./wp_lwt_start.php?rd=". urlencode($url)); by header("Location: ../wp_lwt_start.php?rd=". urlencode($url)); (replacing . by ..) at line 22 of inc/wp_logincheck.php. Instead of loading a new page, it may try to load it as a redirection of the same page, causing crashing loops.

    I hope it'll be the end of our troubles!

    Thanks for the help so far. Sorry to say it seems to have uncovered another issue.

    Now I get a message "file not found" and the address shows 'https://wordpress.example.com/wp_lwt_start.php?rd='

    Error log message:
    [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 30505:tid 139726082250432] [client 127.0.0.1:44702] AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown'

    Hi

    I updated line 22 of 'inc/wp_logincheck.php' from 'header("Location: ./wp_lwt_start.php?rd=". urlencode($url));' to 'header("Location: ../wp-login.php?redirect_to=./lwt/wp_lwt_start.php");'

    This has taken me to the Wordpress login page. Unfortunately, when I log in, it reloads the same page and does not proceed further.

    Hi!

    Since the WordPress installation seems to be very outdated, I proceeded by getting my own WordPress version of LWT. I was able to reproduce your issue, so I hope to fix it this week!

    Hi,

    I could solve your issue, basically there was a circular reference: wp_start_session.php was including inc/session_utility.php, itself including inc/wp_logincheck.php. However, inc/wp_logincheck.php was needing wp_start_session.php to initiate the WordPress variables, so it was launching it, and so on...

    Now, wp_start_session.php only calls for inc/kernel_utility.php which avoids these troubles.

    Thank you for your patience, I hope you will have a useful time with LWT!
