Could you give us a bit more to go on? I found where you logged into foswiki.org successfully when you opened this task. From that log, I found your IP and searched the trunk logs for it. I found where you post to the bin/login script.
- POST bin/login ... returns 302 redirect
- GET Main/WebHome returns 200 - 1821 bytes
So it appears to work, but what I can't find is any indication of failure or success. Foswiki should have logged an AUTHENTICATION success message. But that might be a different bug. AUTHENTICATION messages have not been logged on trunk since What exactly happens? ... er... actually the logs stopped on 10/17.
There are no special permissions to use trunk, and the password files are common to the foswiki.org site.

Now that I've found the correct log, your login worked. So something else is failing for you.

This is the error message I am getting:

Is this still failing? I have not seen any crashes in the trunk logs since October.
If it still occurs, could you look for me (gac410) on the #Foswiki IRC channel? I'd like to add some debug print statements to Foswiki.pm to try to figure out why the page is becoming undefined. writeCompletePage is entered with what appears to be a valid page, calls several handlers and when it prints the response, it's undefined.

Again, I am unable to log into trunk. After entering my username and password when I click on Logon, the same page comes up again. Even when I click on "Have problems logging in?" it still stays on the same page.

I have no idea what's going on. Everything looks completely normal in the logs. I found your Authentication requests, and they appear to be accepted. I suggest clearing your local browser cache, and possibly refreshing the foswiki cache by requesting a page and add
?refresh=cache
query param to the URL.

Still no luck. The situation is as it is. I have deleted my local cache and also tried
?refresh=cache
. It does not work. I am using IE11 and am behind a proxy server in my corporate network.

Please try it again. I've disabled the "IP Session Matching" option on trunk. It can cause problems when access is via a proxy.

I have no idea what's going on. It's been a year with no other reports. Setting to No Action Please reopen if this is still an issue. As we can't recreate, it may be best to seek us out on IRC for some interactive debugging.
