    Hi there.

    I’m trying to login to a new EE 2.1.3 site with Safari, and I get looped back to the login screen repeatedly.

    The server is an IP address only, not a domain, if that matters.  I have the control panel security set to cookies only.  I have tried clearing my cookies, same result.

    Logging in with Firefox and Chrome works properly.

    hi travis,

    What build of EE are you using?

    I know that in the latest (20110411) there was a bug fix for the control panel login but session related I believe.

    Try the following in your config file and see if that works for you

    $config['cookie_domain'] = "";
    $config['cookie_path'] = "";
    $config['cookie_prefix'] = "";
    $config['admin_session_type'] = "c";
    $config['user_session_type'] = "c";
    $config['require_ip_for_login'] = "n";
    $config['require_ip_for_posting'] = "n"; 
    $config['secure_forms'] = "n";

    Tried those changes to the config file.  Still loops from login to homepage but dumps me back at the login screen.

    I’m using build 20101220, and I’m not going to update to a build from 3 days ago.

    Hi Travis,

    Please do update to the latest build so that we can make sure that we are looking at an extant issue. Which extensions and accessories do you have enabled in this site?

    Cheers

    Hi, Greg.

    Given the site-halting issues with the last build, I’m not going to update to this build until I know that will fix the issue; not the other way around.

    Make sure you’ve completely cleared your browser cache and cookies after making those changes to config.php. Then what about Chrome, does it login properly?
