I am having difficulty logging in to GHC's trac. The situation is this: 1. I'm pretty sure I used to log in with username "greenrd" to file bugs (at least, that's what Firefox's password manager tells me!). That no longer works. I get the message below. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Permission Denied To create tickets or edit the wiki, please login with username guest, password guest. TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation TracGuide — The Trac User and Administration Guide ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. I cannot log in with username "guest" using Firefox 1.5 on my office machine. I just get the same message, when I click "login". This occurs even after I have cleared my web browser's cache. Maybe I need to do something else other than clear the cache? 3. I have been able to log in once as a guest *and* create a ticket - but only on Firefox 2, on my office machine, which is not behind a proxy. 4. Strangest of all, I have not been able to log in as a guest using Firefox 2 on my dorm machine which is behind a proxy - even though Firefox is *not* automatically supplying a username and password! When I attempt to login as guest, I get redirected to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc and I don't seem to be logged in - a "login" link is still there, instead of a "logout" one. This is all rather confusing. I have not figured out what is going on here. -- Robin
Simon will help you out, though he is tied up right now. GHC's trac was majorly spammed yesterday, so I think he may have switched off guest access S | -----Original Message----- | From: glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org] On | Behalf Of Robin Green | Sent: 03 April 2007 12:43 | To: glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org | Subject: Login problems with trac | | I am having difficulty logging in to GHC's trac.

Right, I turned off edit access by unknown users, except guest. I'm not inclined to enable it again until we have a solution, because this time the spam left quite a lot of damage to clean up. I've added greenrd to the 'developer' group, so you should be able to make changes from your account. Cheers, Simon Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:
