Double user registration

[cornelius123]

Sometimes a new client gets two user records. With the same client number but different user id. The first record gets the order.
We are using Joomla 2.5.16 and VM 2.0.20b. Would an update to VM 2.0.22a solve the problem?

at least 2.0.22c, but why not using 2.0.26a?

I'm experiencing the same issue with Joomla 2.5.17 and VM 2.0.26d.
It seems to be a session problem, especially using IE.

Sometimes, hmm,

maybe the new errorlog will reveal it.

Hi,

I'm not expert but by chance I found that enabling the ftp layer in joomla causes the double registration of users. I use VM 2.0.26d with the following specs with xampp on my localhost...

PHP Built On  Windows NT USER-PC 6.1 build 7601 (Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1) i586 
Database Version  5.6.16 
Database Collation  utf8_general_ci 
PHP Version  5.5.9 
Web Server  Apache/2.4.7 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.9 
WebServer to PHP Interface  apache2handler 
Joomla! Version  Joomla! 2.5.17 Stable [ Ember ] 18-December-2013 14:30 GMT 
Joomla! Platform Version  Joomla Platform 11.4.0 Stable [ Brian Kernighan ] 03-Jan-2012 00:00 GMT 
User Agent  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko 

I must admit that since I enabled the ftp layer in joomla a lot of issues start arising on my site... plus I couldn't get it to turn off ... once it was enabled no matter how many times I actually turn it to "no" it still stays "yes". I then set it in the configuration.php file in joomla root to    public $ftp_enable = '0';

I marked this as solved, not really sure if it does the trick for other people .. for me it certainly did. I tested it 10 times before posting ....
