Login Form not working

Question

I am trying to display Login form in a pop-up window on a home page.
I am displaying pop-up using Fancybox2. That is working fine.

To display Login Form, I have used

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('customer/form_login')->setTemplate('customer/form/mini.login.phtml')->toHtml();
                        ?>

this code.
Above code is displaying Login Form. But when I enter correct or wrong details, it redirects to my-domain/index.php/customer/account/login/ page. On that page also I have displayed Login as well as register forms . On this page also Login Form doesn't work. It redirects to the same page.

For registration form, I have used

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('customer/form_register')->setTemplate('customer/form/register.phtml')->toHtml();

this code and It is working fine.

Below is the code from template/persistent/customer/form/login.phtml :

<div id="login_checkout" class="checkout-login">
    <?php echo $this->getMessagesBlock()->getGroupedHtml() ?>
    <div id="tabs">
        <ul class="login_tabs">
            <li><a href="#" class="current"><?php echo $this->__('Log in') ?></a></li>
            <li><a href="#"><?php echo $this->__('Sign Up') ?></a></li>
        </ul>
        <div id="panes_login">
            <div id="tabs-1">
                <form action="<?php echo $this->getPostActionUrl() ?>" method="post" id="login-form">
                    <?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>
                    <ul class="form-list">
                        <li>
                            <div class="input-box">

Answer 1

Add below line in your mini.login.phtml file inside <form> tag

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>

Answer 2

I will help you. One more things while adding form key.

   <input type="hidden" name="form_key" value="<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey(); ?>" />

check whether you are pasting in same login.phtml that are used in frontend. sometimes in xampp also have cache issue.

For That

app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Session\Abstract\Varien.php

/* to solve login issue */
  /*if (!$cookieParams['httponly']) {
  unset($cookieParams['httponly']);
  if (!$cookieParams['secure']) {
  unset($cookieParams['secure']);
  if (!$cookieParams['domain']) {
  unset($cookieParams['domain']);
  }
  }
  }

if (isset($cookieParams['domain'])) {
  $cookieParams['domain'] = $cookie->getDomain();*/ //I have commented these lines

or

Open your Magento installation directory. Locate and open index.php file.

Search for error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); code.

Comment it out like that: /error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);/

And use the following code instead:

error_reporting(E_ALL); $_SERVER['MAGE_IS_DEVELOPER_MODE'] = true;

Uncomment it by removing the # sign, so it looks like that:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Save this file and upload to the server. Reload your website page to see errors.

change localhost to 127.0.0.1 paste your error if you can see.
