# Multiple Issues since 4.1 Upgrades

* Good afternoon!
* Since upgrading to WordPress 4.1, we have been experiencing multiple issues with
our site.
* After upgrading to 4.1, IE completely stopped working when trying to access the
site. Tested with multiple users and devices and followed recommended steps on
the forums such as inserting meta code in the header.php file and clearing browser
cache but nothing is working.
* After upgrading to 4.1.1, we can no longer log into wp-admin at all using any
browser. When typing the correct username and password there is no error but
the page reloads and just returns back to the login screen.
* We use the wp-require-auth [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-require-auth/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-require-auth/)
plug in to require all users to log in to view our site so I am not sure if this
has anything to do with our problems logging in.
* The combination of browser and authentication issues have been consuming all
of my time and I cannot seem to find a solution. Any help or advice would be
greatly appreciated.

* whats your environment? do you have ssh?
* the plugin you point at only lists compatibility to 3.9.2 :-/ i hate when plugins
die
* i’d try disabling all pluings and see if your site comes back, this assumes at
least ftp access. do you have ftp if not ssh?

* We are hosting our own site on a linux apache server and we have do have ssh
access. I see the plugin is outdated but we need to to secure our site. The problem
when moving to 4.1 with Internet explorer was resolved because we had unneeded
code in our .htaccess file. Now we are just stuck with being completely locked
out when we move to 4.1.1 on every browser. We have a stage server and a production
server that are set up identically. Everything is fine up to 4.1.1 on the stage
server but for some reason our production breaks.

* can you rename the plugin folder for wp-require-auth to wp-require-auth-tmp via
ssh? that should allow you to temporarily log in if it is the plugin locking
you out.
* are the stage and prod servers running:
* -the same version of php (php -v on the commandline)
-suhosin? –> would also
be displayed with php -v -the same version of wp files and db -the same versions
of the plugins and themes?
* there are [some plugins like wp-require-auth](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-force-login/)
that are listed as compatible, but i have never used either so i can’t vouch
* let me know!

* Thank you for your quick responses and being so helpful, we finally found the
issue. After checking everything and making sure all configuration files matched
and that the php versions matched on both servers, it ended up being that we
had extra lines in our apache vhost for redirecting that were not needed and
causing issues. Here is what our working vhost code looks like:
*
ServerAdmin serveradminemail DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/
wordpress ServerName servername ServerPath /srv/www/htdocs/wordpress HostnameLookups

* We originally had the following extra lines causing our issues:
* RewriteRule ^(/srv/www/htdocs/wordpress/.*) /srv/www/htdocs/wordpress$1
RedirectMatch
permanent / [https://server.com/](https://server.com/) Redirect 301 / [https://server.com](https://server.com)
* WE have been working on securing our site and must have been trying to many different
things. Also, our vhost was a little messy still containing some defaults from
the sample file that we removed. We also learned it is important that the server
name matches exactly when defining multiple vhosts (for 80 and 443).
