There has to be something bad with your web server itself. Are you using apache?
I use apache on a centos dedicated box. I use op_cache now because it solved my problem with memcache and apc.
Varnish wasn't doing to good of a job with static data with oxwall so i disabled it.
I find it odd that your live site and test site on the same machine is having the issue but every one else environment cant reproduce it. It has to be something with your web server itself.
I'm on Apache, indeed.
I'll configure a new VM from scratch with CentOS 7 instead of Ubuntu 14.04.
In the meanwhile, you may test with precaution in the production site. See Private Message.
Ross,
Can you technically explain me how the complete sign-in process happens, including the automatic procedures ? I must find this bug in the code.
I'm no longer convinced that it could be due to any plugin. The problems also occur in a test environment with lots of plugins disabled.
Alain,
We are now at 1.7.5 version...please go here to download latest Oxwall version: http://www.oxwall.org/download
But before you update...PLEASE READ this post. http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/24134

FYI: I think this issue has been fixed in 1.7.5 core update. ex: http://www.oxwall.org/1.7.5/CHANGELOG.txt
Thanks for your suggestion. This brings new hope.
I see nothing particular in the Change log that would avoid wrong user sessions but I'm going to try the upgrade. First in test environment. Then the next day in the live environment.
I'll post the outcome here.
So far, I haven't experienced troubles with wrong user sessions but I keep my eyes open.
I post again here after some time. Hopefully with an optimistic conclusion.
I really have the feeling that this new version of Oxwall solved my terrible problem of suddenly wrong user sessions. The cause of the problems I had during the period of running Oxwall versions 1.7.2 till 1.7.4 is a mystery but past is past.
I do have another trouble with an extremely slow load on the page .../users/search which makes my site crash temporarily from time to time but I'll report that in another topic after examination.
Hey Alain,
Good to hear that issue is resolved. As for a heavier load making things slow….yes
if I remember Ross was saying after 1.7.0 version things got heavier…I think he
was saying Newsfeed, Photo, Message plugins got much heavier load times due to
many factors. Not sure about the search options but you could go to these files
to see how things work.
/ow_system_plugins/base/controllers/user_search.php
/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/search_service.php
/ow_system_plugins/base/views/controllers/user_search_index.html
Hope it helps….
