Login page was not found 404

Hello!

Please help me out, I was adding a welcome message to my login page of Moodle.

After adding text and saving changes to

Plugins -> Manage Authentication -> Instructions field (auth_instructions)

 

The login page won't open anymore, it says 404 Not Found when I try to open this page:

https://mydomain.com/login/

 

And everytime I enter https://mydomain.com/login/ in the browser - it changes to https://mydomain.com/login/adminlogin

 

where "adminlogin" is the administrator's username. 

 

how can I revert everything back to normal? And why is it happening?

Try adding the following to config.php:

$CFG->auth_instructions = '';
$CFG->alternateloginurl = '';

I suggest the second line too as this is normally responsible for changing the login URL.

Start with the Front Page Settings and Front Page FAQ in the Moodle Docs. If you need more help with the Welcome message try posting in the General forum explaining your requirements or the Themes forum if using an additional theme.

Or search the forums (maybe this is relevant).

(I'm better at the technical side rather than what things look like).
