Re: Login from won't work from Home Page

I fixed the problem and I thought I would post the solution here in
case someone came across the same problem.

After WEEKS of trying to figure it out, I found the solution by
accident. I accidentally commented the $components variable in my
users_controller.php file and it suddenly started working.

I started removing components to narrow down the problem and realized
that, for some reason, the Security component was being the cause of
these problems. Without it, after submitting I got access to the
controller's actions, including login, without a single issue.

I have no idea if this is a bug or an expected behavior, if someone
knows I would greatly appreciate if you told me.

Best,
P.
