    Hi all

    I have an EE site on 2.5.2 that just reloads the login screen whenever I click login. This is happening for all users and user groups, and in multiple browsers.

    EngineHosting suggested I edit the config file to add:

    $config[‘admin_session_type’] = “c”;

    This did not solve, unfortunately. Any thoughts?

    Many thanks.

    I may be totally out to lunch on your issue, but I get this on my servers if the system clock is not accurate or if system and hardware time are not synced. I especially find if I have a conflicting timezone set in EE versus the OS this is an issue.

    The following change to config worked:

    $config[‘cookie_domain’] = “”;
    $config[‘cookie_path’] = “”;
    $config[‘cookie_prefix’] = “”;
    $config[‘admin_session_type’] = “s”;
    $config[‘user_session_type’] = “c”;
    $config[‘require_ip_for_login’] = “n”;
    $config[‘require_ip_for_posting’] = “n”;
    $config[‘secure_forms’] = “n”;
