# Site Down - Fix Instructions

## Problem
Site appears down because JWT session decryption is failing due to NEXTAUTH_SECRET change.

## Quick Fix (Choose One)

### Option 1: Clear Browser Cookies (Fastest)
1. Open your browser
2. Go to site settings
3. Clear all cookies for lavocat.quebec
4. Refresh the page
5. Try logging in again

### Option 2: Call Clear Sessions API
Make a POST request to `/api/clear-all-sessions`:
```bash
curl -X POST https://lavocat.quebec/api/clear-all-sessions
```

Or use a browser console:
```javascript
fetch('/api/clear-all-sessions', { method: 'POST' })
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(console.log);
```

### Option 3: Restart Server with Consistent Secret

1. Check current NEXTAUTH_SECRET in `.env`:
```bash
grep NEXTAUTH_SECRET .env
```

2. Update all environment files to use the SAME secret:
- `.env`
- `.env.production`  
- `.env.local`

3. Stop the server:
```bash
pkill -f "node.*server"
```

4. Clear session data:
```bash
# Delete session cookies from database
# Or just clear browser cookies
```

5. Restart server:
```bash
npm run dev
```

## Root Cause
The `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` was changed at some point, invalidating all existing session cookies. Users can't authenticate because their old cookies can't be decrypted.

## Prevention
- Never change `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` in production without:
  1. Warning users first
  2. Implementing a graceful migration
  3. Having a plan to clear all sessions

## Current Configuration
- Server: Running on port 3000/3443
- Database: SQLite (dev.db exists)
- NextAuth: Configured with JWT strategy
- Issue: Session decryption failing

## Status Check
After applying fix, test:
1. Can you access `/`
2. Can you log in at `/auth/login`
3. Are API routes working
4. Can you access protected pages
