Problem when creating a new user

Hi,

I created a new user, saved, and got this error: "ERROR: Item could not be saved.".
Despite this message, the user was actually created (but not all fields were saved, only his username, password and e-mail got saved, the rest was wiped). Now, if I try to modify this user, I keep getting the same error as above ("ERROR: Item could not be saved.") unless I uncheck the "This user can access site backend" box (in which case, the user is modified successfully).

I just rebooted my site, and now it works. I think I may have triggered this bug by not filling in all the required fields when trying to create the user, or something. Now I cannot reproduce the problem anymore.

This is with SF 4.1 SP3.

Hi Thomas,

Did you upgrade to SP3 from some older version? There were some issues with the user creation screen that were fixed in Sitefinity 4.2 that was released yesterday. We strongly recommend you to upgrade your project.

Hi,

I upgraded from 4.1 SP1 to SP3. Do you mean there is a bug in the upgrade tool?
I'm going to check out 4.2 now.

Thanks.

Hi Thomas,

In the older version we had some issues related to the meta types which was not created. We fixed many bugs related to users and roles for 4.2 and this is why we recommend to upgrade your project and ensure that you use the latest version.

We have the same problem in 4.2 and could not find a solution.

Hello Bogdan,

I am not able to replicate this issue locally. Could you try to replicate the issue on a new installation? It is possible that something went wrong if the project has been upgraded. You can also check the service tracer log that should provide some more details about the error. Check App_Data/Sitefinity/Logs and see if there is a new error log generated after you try to create the user.

Kind regards,

Hello
We never updated the project, we just updated sitefinity to the latest version and created the new project.
Now the problem is not reproducing anymore and I think that's because we fixed the permission problem we had with App_Data
This was the error that we fixed :

Thank you

Can you use fiddler to see what is happening. Are you getting a lot of 500 ?

I am getting an error also.
I use SF 4.3.2019.
The error that shows up in FireBug:
"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - localhost/.../"

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Daniel
