Auth Function Issues

Hi All,

I am using some basic Auth code that I have used many times in the past but for some reason this time it is failing. I cannot work it out, there isn't much to the actual code so I cannot see why it would fail.

Can anyone see where I am going wrong? I am not getting any errors to the page when I try and login, when I echo  $this->Auth->login() it comes back as fail, I have tested the password hash and it matches that of the database.

Also this exact code is working on my local computer dev setup but as soon as it goes online it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thankyou


AppController.php

public $components = array(
    'Auth'=> array(
        'authenticate' => array(
            'Form' => array(
                'fields' => array('username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password')
            )
        )
    ),
    'Session',
    'Cookie',
    'RequestHandler',
    'Whmcs'
);  

login.ctp

<?php
    echo $this->Session->flash('auth');
    echo $this->Form->input('email', array(
                                           'class' => 'span2',
                                           //'div' => array('class' => 'control-group'),
                                           'div' => false,
                                           'label' => false,
                                           'placeholder' => 'Email'
                                           ));
    echo $this->Form->input('password', array(
                                           'class' => 'span2',
                                           //'div' => array('class' => 'control-group'),
                                           'div' => false,
                                           'label' => false,
                                           'placeholder' => 'Password'
                                           ));
?>
<?php echo $this->Form->submit('Login', array(
                                              'class' => 'btn',
                                              'div' => false
                                              ));?> 
<?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?>

UserController.php

public function login() 
    {
        //DEFINE THE LAYOUT

        $this->layout = 'users_front';

        //print_r($this->data);

        if ($this->request->is('post')) 
        {


          if ($this->Auth->login()) 
          {
                    //print_r($this->data);
                    // CHECK USER THAT LOGS IN IS ACCOUNTANT OR USER LEVEL
                    if($this->Auth->user('group_id') == 3 || $this->Auth->user('group_id') == 4)
                    {
                        return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'dashboard'));;
                    }
                    else // ADMIN GOES TO THEIR AREA
                    {

                        return $this->redirect(array('admin' => true, 'action' => 'dashboard'));
                    }
          } 
          else 
          {

                    $this->Session->setFlash(__('Username or password is incorrect'), 'default', array(), 'auth');

          }
        }
    }
