Error page as per attachment displayed in browser. It would appear that an attempt to delete a nom-existant file causes a failure.

The login page appears as expected on refreshing the browser.

Not serious, bur a bit untidy.

What does your web server configuration look like? We're not observing this on foswiki.org, and are using Apache with Fast CGI. Is it an occasional / sporadic occurrence, or is it repeatable.

It might be related your installed version of CGI. We are using CGI 4.27, CGI::Session 4.48, and CGI::Session::Driver::File 4.43.

Apache 2.0.63 Perl 5.8.8 according to support, but perldiver gives 5.14.2 CGI 3.61 CGI::Session 4.46 CGI::Session::Driver 4.43

It seems to happen after I've left things overnight. I have the session timeout at the default 6 hours, so it may take a few days to find the right (wrong?) combination of browser left open or not, logged in or not, multiple sessions etc.

So, at the moment it's just sporadic, but I believe there is a pattern to be founf.

Well, it has happened again, but I haven't been able to pin down the conditions when it happens - so for now it's an urp.

It could have something to do with one or more of the following:
  1. Multiple logins in different tabs of same browser.
  2. Logins by same user in different browsers.
  3. Leaving session(s) to time out.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. Will post again if I find out anything relevant.

Looks like blank comments are accepted - see above.

I can't see any prospect of being able to reproduce this problem, so am setting to No Action.
