Public registration verification link does not work

[steveooo9]

Description

When enabling public user registrations and using the default form from the craftcms.com docs,
a email get's send with this url: https://foobar.de/zkr-admin/actions/users/verifyemail?code=GhiOgRrqICJFM4VF63%7EllmmMO%7Ep%7EZ5nx&id=7a468332-12a5-402f-b6c5-77babc158480. But when opening this link, you get redirected to the login page of the backend and if you want to login, it says that the account isn't verified.

Funny thing: If you enter your username and click "forget password" and then you get a password reset link send that works and also with that, the account get's activated. So it seems that verifyemail Link somehow is buggy.

Additional info

• Craft version: 2.6.3005
• PHP version: 7.1

Can you share the contents of your craft/config/general.php file? You can redact out any sensitive bits of info you need to. Also, does the user that is clicking the link has "Access the Control Panel" permissions assigned to them?

@angrybrad Here is a .env.php file:

<?php

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && (strcasecmp($_SERVER['HTTPS'], 'on') === 0 || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 1)
  || isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) && strcasecmp($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') === 0) {
  $proto = 'https';
} else {
  $proto = 'http';
}
$siteUrl = $proto.'://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/';
$baseUrl = $siteUrl;
$basePath = realpath(__DIR__).'/public/';

$vars = [
  'CRAFT_ENV' => 'local', // 'local' | 'stage' | 'live'
  'DB_HOST' => 'localhost',
  'DB_NAME' => 'scotchbox',
  'DB_USER' => 'root',
  'DB_PASSWORD' => 'root',
  'DB_PORT' => '3306',
  'SITE_URL' => $siteUrl,
  'BASE_URL' => $baseUrl,
  'BASE_PATH' => $basePath,
  // Optional
  'DEV_MODE' => true,
];

foreach ($vars as $key => $value) {
  putenv($key.'='.$value);
}

And here is the general.php:

<?php

/**
 * General Configuration
 *
 * All of your system's general configuration settings go in here.
 * You can see a list of the default settings in craft/app/etc/config/defaults/general.php
 */

$devMode = (getenv('DEV_MODE') !== false ? !!getenv('DEV_MODE') : false);

return [
  '*' => [
    'craftEnv' => CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT,
    'allowAutoUpdates' => false,
    'enableTemplateCaching' => true,
    'devMode' => $devMode,
    'cacheDuration' => 'P30M',
    'userSessionDuration' => 'PT2H',
    'timezone' => 'Europe/Berlin',
    'siteUrl' => [
      'de' => getenv('SITE_URL'),
      'en' => getenv('SITE_URL').'en/',
    ],
    'environmentVariables' => [
      'baseUrl' => getenv('BASE_URL'),
      'basePath' => getenv('BASE_PATH'),
    ],
    'langMap' => [
      'de' => 'de',
      'en' => 'en',
    ],
    'omitScriptNameInUrls' => true,
    'limitAutoSlugsToAscii' => true,
    'convertFilenamesToAscii' => true,
    'generateTransformsBeforePageLoad' => true,
    'pageTrigger' => 'seite-',
    'cpTrigger' => 'foobar-admin',
    'defaultCpLanguage' => 'de',
    'defaultSearchTermOptions' => [
      'subLeft' => true,
      'subRight' => true,
    ],
    'defaultWeekStartDay' => 1,
    'defaultImageQuality' => 90,
    'sendPoweredByHeader' => false,
  ],
  'local' => [
    'allowAutoUpdates' => true,
    'enableTemplateCaching' => false,
  ],
  'stage' => [],
  'live' => [],
];

Yes, this setting "Access the Control Panel" was assigned.

Hrm... can you reproduce the issue with devMode enabled, then share your storage/logs/web.log file?

[steveooo9]

@angrybrad I am using Craft 2. The log path you wrote isn't there..

[angrybrad]

Sorry... it'll be craft/storage/runtime/logs/craft.log on Craft 2.

[steveooo9]

@angrybrad Here is the log:
debuglog.txt

If this is needed here the URL:
https://foobar-project.dev.fooagency.de/zkr-admin/actions/users/verifyemail?code=hmbWJnTDa8bEqRnqDKazCE8m%7ELuKOw6c&id=fb90febf-d5e7-4c4a-8ba4-3697b3713636

[angrybrad]

Hrm... I'm drawing a blank. Any chance this is on a public website we could get CP and (s)FTP/SSH access to? If so, could you send some credentials over to support@craftcms.com so we can look around?

[steveooo9]

@angrybrad I will look into this!
