Logout fails

[BrianKoontz]

Under some conditions, a user attempting to log out will discover he/she is not able to do so. Thanks to doomedfox for reporting this on the #wikka IRC channel.

Some preliminary tracing of the issue appears to implicate a failure to delete a session record from the wikka_sessions table. The problem was originally reported on a wiki installed on SourceForge, and the problem corrected itself after several attempts to log out.

It turns out this defect had nothing to do with wikka_sessions...read more below about the root cause and solution.

JavaWoman is experiencing the same issue at the moment.

So glad to see I am not alone. ;)

I didn't actually find what caused it, but forcefully deleting all cookies (including non-Wikka cookies ;)) it sort of solved itself. And in my now-modified code (separate login/logout/settings/registration) I cannot reproduce it any more.

I'd have to dig to see what's different; my original code changes for this split were based on 1.1.6.3 so it looks like the problem was introduced in 1.1.6.4 or 1.1.6.5.

(In [1249]) Refs #800: Cookies were being created by installer that did not contain the correct path, so logouts would fail because the wrong cookies were being deleted on logout.

I've tested this, and cannot reproduce it anymore.
