This is very strange. Does anyone have a solution?
Hi. Until yesterday afternoon we are able to login into our moodle
installation. Suddenly after that time all login accounts wont work
through http://novustesting.com/moodle/login/. We haven't altered something in the code of
the website. We are redirected to
http://novustesting.com/moodle/login/index.php?testsession=2
This is very strange. Does anyone have a solution?

Might try this first .. purging caches without logging on:
http://yoursite/admin/purgecaches.php
If you have command line access ...
cd moodlecode/admin/cli/
php purge_caches.php
then see if you can login.
See the config-dist.php file for how to add debugging lines to config.php so Moodle can report what issues it sees/finds.
Or, 'un-do' the dhanges you made to that 'moodle file' you edited ... ie, put it back the way it was. It is highly recommended one NOT hack any php file/script in Moodle unless one knows what one is doing. Rather, post a question in the forums here with whatever you are trying to do. There might be an answer that does NOT require hacking of code.

Actually I change a file so as to get an email that a user registered in my moodle. The problem is not at the code, I did received an e-mail. I purged the cache but no luck. I will try to debug. I read somewhere that if you are logged in and you change a file that happens but I did not found a solution for this. If this is the problem.
Anyway, thank you very much for your reply

My problem solved. The web hosting company made an update to php 5.4 but my version of moodle supported only 5.3. Thank you very much for your answers.

Hello I have seen this happen when a user disables cookies in their browser, or blocks the Moodle cookie.
As a separate guess your cookie configuration for Moodle is broken check 'cookie path', 'cookie prefix', 'cookie domain', 'only http cookies', 'secure cookies only'.

Had multiple browser windows open during Moodle 2.5.2 tweaks/troubleshooting and was unable to login: same 'testsession=#' string in URL. Cleared browser cache many times. Long troubleshooting story short: I opened a different browser and got right in. Thereafter, all windows in primary browser were closed (closing the browser), restarted it, and problem was gone. Later, went back to second computer that had been used to test Moodle changes. Earlier browser window was still open and it was exhibiting same 'testsession' problem. Closed the browser, restarted it, and had no further problems.
