Using ExpressionEngine Version 2.1.3 Build 20101220 running online.
My work system is winXP - No problem seen with IE8, Opera, Chrome, Safari

With Firefox, can log into front end of the website but not the control panel.
When I try to login… no error message… just returns to login screen.

This is in my config file:

$config['cookie_domain'] = ".my_domain.com";
$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";  
$config['multiple_sites_enabled'] = "y";
$config['allow_extensions'] = "y";

I bet it’s something silly

Peccavio,

That’s an odd one. Can you confirm that you are trying to log into correct URL? As in you may have a www in the URL you installed at but are trying to login a URL without the www

I am certain the url is correct. I never write my url with www.
My site uses .htaccess to redirects http://www.domain to domain

My prior description is slightly flawed…
Loggin goes to “you are logged in page”,
but when redirects, you’re not logged in

So my problem simply stated, can’t login with Firefox.
Any suggestion on how to approach trouble shooting?

Thanks in advance for any good suggestion.

Peccavio,

In your original description you say you can login to front-end in Firefox.
If you are a superadmin this will have also logged you into the control panel

My prior description is slightly flawed…
Loggin goes to “you are logged in page”,
but when redirects, you’re not logged in

Those types of messages don’t exist in the control panel logging in and out process. Can you show us some screeshots please?

In your original description you say you can login to front-end in Firefox.

This is where I was mistaken ... frontend same as backend.

Those types of messages don’t exist in the control panel logging in and out process.

The normal redirect page at login that says “You are now logged in”
It appears for about one sec… do I need to catch a screen shot?

The important thing to notice is I’m not logged in when returning to the home page.

Peccavio,

Can I register on your site as a normal member? Have you got a link where we can try it?

http://this-page.com - not much there yet

Peccavio,

Can you go ahead and activate me as I haven’t received an email yet please?

Peccavio,

I have no issues logging in on FireFox.

Are you logged into the control panel at the same time you are trying to log into the front end?

Log out of control panel and clear all your browser cache and cookies for that site and try again

Peccavio,

Can you go ahead and activate me as I haven’t received an email yet please?

Suspect it’s you email address unless domain johnhenry.ie is valid

You are a member

Hmm that was weird…
I was logged in to control panel with IE
Didn’t think that should affect Firefox

all is working again… thanks

Glad it is working for you now 😊

Please post again with any future issues
