    Hi.

    I have several MODx installations and on one of them I suddenly can not log in to the manager anymore.
    I am using the www.mysite.com/manager login page.
    After inputting my username/password I just get the same page again with empty fields. If I try to enter a wrong password, I get an error informing me of wrong password, but if I enter the correct username/password nothing happens.

    I can not access the manager, though it seems my username and password was accepted.

    The system has been working fine for months.
    I am doing additions every day, so it is hard to say what may have caused this. I don’t remember doing any structural changes lately, though.

    I have deleted cookies to no effect.

    I have tried searching the forum, but could not find a similar case.

    Anyone has any idea to where I should start looking for the cause? Kinda hard to debug when i can’t get into the manager.

    I am using v. 0.96 of the core, PHP 4.4.6, MySQL 4.1.14

    Cheers,

    Andreas

      What I would do is go into the database and follow the steps for changing the admin password. Not sure where that info is, but I have done it. Just might work.. well before you try that, if possible, I would restart apache / mysql.

      Good Luck!

        Thanks.

        Before I tried your suggestion, I tried logging in using Safari and it worked!

        So, it is something in my Firefox setup causing this issue.

        Cheers,

          Got it.

          Found another user with the same issue as soon as I identified it as Firefox related.

          Basically, I blocked cookies from the site, reloaded the site, and unblocked it. It now works again.
