Bug: Updating to 5.12.0 causes a login loop

[louie-j]

A clear and concise description of what the reported bug is:

• ChurchCRM version: 5.12.0
• PHP version the server running: PHP 8.2.24
• DB Server and Version the server is running: MySQL unsure, it is a shared host with hostgator

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
When I try to login with a correct username/password it just goes right back to the login page.

I just did a manual update from 4.4.5 to 5.12.0. When I loaded churchCRM, it asked to update the database, which I clicked on and then when the login page shows it will never pass the login.

We have tried reinstalling 5.12.0 and it still does the same. If we try to install 5.11.0 then the database reports that it is the wrong version and the upgrade database doesn't do anything since it is a previous version.

The following is in the app-log:
Failed to get current user {"exception":"[object] (Exception(code: 0): No active authentication provider at /home4//public_html/churchcrm/churchcrm/ChurchCRM/Authentication/AuthenticationManager.php:33)"} {"url":"/churchcrm/churchcrm/v2/dashboard","remote_ip":"<IP_Address>","correlation_id":"6760d78f82fe3"}

Is there a way to roll the database back to a prior version?

I'm working with louie on this issue - not sure if this is anything but noticed I'm getting a syntax error showing up in AuthenticationResult.php. Might be nothing and just an error on the host gator side but thought I'd mention it.

@keljo is your editor using an appropriate version of php? this doesn't look like invalid syntax

[keljo]

Yeah it's just host gator, don't worry about it if the syntax is correct. Regardless, we still have the same issue with the login loop stated above, that's the real problem.

I don't see this problem on mine or on https://demo.churchcrm.io/ - what do you mean by manual update here? if files were just copied, did you manage to run the database migrations?
