First login fails

[f1reflyyyylmao]

I installed black candy without any errors on a dedicated debian server, following every step of your guide and making sure the permissions on my media files are right. When I try to access the website, which is hosted behind a reverse proxy (nginx:

server {
	listen 443 ssl;
        listen [::]:443 ssl;

        include snippets/ssl-common.conf;

        server_name candy.mydomain.com;

	location / {
		proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
                proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
	}
}

). The site access works just fine, but when I try to log in with admin@admin.com and foobar, I get a 422 (unprocessable entity) response. Is this related to me being too dumb to set up a reverse proxy or is it your program thats to blame?

I am not quite sure the reason cause the issue. Maybe the reason is from ssl, I haven't try to use ssl on black candy yet. Anyway I will take some time try to find out the reason on weekends. Thanks for you try to use black candy.

I found the solution myself, the issue was I was missing a proxy_redirect off; in my nginx server block. Everything works fine now. Sorry for your trouble.
Update:
Ok, nevermind, it worked yesterday, now it won't. Not quite sure why.

This doesn't seem to be blackcandy's issue, but rather nginx's configuration issue, and it's been open for long time and no other users have the same issue. So I will close it.

I had the same issue, running black_candy behind a reverse proxy, which uses https.
I was finally able to fix the issue by adding

  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;

to my nginx server block
