This issue sounds like it could be related to **permissions, session handling, or caching issues** in your Drupal site. Here's a systematic approach to investigate and resolve the problem:

1. 1. 1. 1. **Check Permissions for Non-admin Roles**

  - There might be a missing or misconfigured permission that is preventing non-admin users from logging in.
  - Go to `People` → `Permissions` (`/admin/people/permissions`) and review the **authenticated user** and **anonymous user** permissions. Ensure that the **"Access site"** permission is correctly configured for non-admin users.

1. 1. 1. 2. **Check Drupal's Error Logs (and Web Server Logs)**

  - Since users are getting a 500 error, check the **Watchdog logs** in Drupal:
    - Navigate to `Reports` → `Recent Log Messages` (`/admin/reports/dblog`).
    - Look for any specific error messages related to the 500 error when a non-admin tries to log in.
  - Also, check your web server’s error logs (e.g., Apache or Nginx) for any PHP errors or permission issues.
    - On Red Hat-based systems, these might be located in `/var/log/httpd/error_log` or `/var/log/nginx/error.log`.

1. 1. 1. 3. **Session or Cookie Issues**

  - Since deleting the browser cache and cookies temporarily resolves the issue, it suggests there may be a problem with **session management** or **cookie handling** for non-admin users.
  - Check if there's a mismatch in session handling for non-admin users. Look at your `settings.php` file or related configuration files for session/cookie configurations that might differ between admins and other users.
  
  Also, ensure that the `session.gc_maxlifetime` setting in your PHP configuration is reasonable and that there’s no aggressive session cleanup happening for non-admin users:

  ```ini
  session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440  ; // Adjust as needed (in seconds)
  ```

1. 1. 1. 4. **Clear Cache and Rebuild Permissions**

  - Sometimes, caching issues can cause inconsistent behavior between different roles.
  - Clear the cache by using Drush:

    ```bash
    drush cr
    ```

  - You can also **rebuild permissions** using the following Drush command:

    ```bash
    drush php-eval 'node_access_rebuild();'
    ```

  This will ensure that the permissions table is correctly rebuilt for all users.

1. 1. 1. 5. **Check for Custom Code or Modules**

  - If there are any **custom modules** or third-party modules that are modifying the login process, session handling, or user permissions, they could be causing this issue.
  - Temporarily **disable custom or contributed modules** related to login or authentication and test the behavior.
  - You can disable a module via Drush:
  
    ```bash
    drush pm-uninstall module_name
    ```

1. 1. 1. 6. **Check for Role-specific Caching Issues**

  - **Admin users** often bypass cache mechanisms, which may explain why they aren't affected by the issue.
  - Check if there's any role-specific caching (for non-admin users) that could be causing login issues.
  - If you have a caching module or system in place (such as **Varnish**, **Redis**, or **Drupal internal page caching**), clear or adjust the caching settings for non-admin users.

1. 1. 1. 7. **Review .htaccess or Security Configurations**

  - Review your `.htaccess` file or security-related configurations that might treat admin and non-admin users differently.
  - Look for rules or directives that may impact session cookies, HTTP headers, or requests for non-admin users.

1. 1. 1. 8. **Upgrade Drupal and Modules**

  - If you're running an older version of Drupal, there may be known bugs or security fixes related to login handling for specific roles.
  - Ensure you’re running the latest version of Drupal core and modules. You can update using Drush:

    ```bash
    drush up
    ```

1. 1. 1. 9. **Debugging with Devel Module**

  - If the issue persists, consider using the **Devel module** to get detailed information during the login process for non-admin users.
  - The Devel module can display database queries, memory usage, and other debug information that might give insights into what’s causing the issue for non-admins.
