Hi All,
When I try to login as a user (under the member/login/ page) my login cookies are not being set and I am not successfully logging in.
If I try to log in as an admin (under admin.php / ee/ee_sys/index.php) my session successfully logs in.
I can’t figure out why the user login stopped working. Where can I go to check settings and begin trouble shooting?

I found the problem, I have redirected (301) all http://www.sitename.com urls to sitename.com
This broke the logins.

Provides some suggestions but none of these settings were incorrect in my system, they all had the www. removed and the cookies still didn’t get set.
Any further suggestions?

# Fix trailing slash problem
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+[^/])$ http://toomuchsexy.org/$1/ [R=301,L]
It looks like this is the problematic .htaccess entry.
Any clue?

Does it work correctly without that line (commented out, eg)?

Yes, commenting it out fixes the problem.

Hate to point out the obvious, but the culprit is your rewrite rule, then. It looks rather complicated, too. Perhaps another approach might work? Also, I am moving this over to Howto to the community can get involved, if they have something to contribute.
