Can't login to manager, keeps redirecting back to login page

I just did a fresh install on my local machince:

windows 7 64bits

Downloaded the latest modx revo
running wamp

install went without a hitch, but when I try to log in with my admin username and password, I get no error, and the page seems to just refresh back to the login page.

I have looked all over the web, been trying to figure this out for the last couple of hours but can't login. I am stuck. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

I found this, but it says it applies to old revo installs. This is not an old beta version, it is a fresh install

The login page keeps redirecting me back to the login screen with no error

This can happen with older Revolution beta installs. To fix it, delete the following 3 system settings from the DB table `[prefix]_system_settings` (where prefix is your table prefix):

session_name
session_cookie_path
session_cookie_domain
Then delete the core/cache/config.cache.php file.

Unless, of course, you've changed these explicitly for some purpose of your own.

Tried this, no go. Deleted the database and the modx install, started over. Same issue. I need help!

Server Configuration
Apache Version : 2.2.22
PHP Version : 5.4.3
MySQL Version : 5.5.24

Another thing I have noticed is that when I click the forgot password link and enter the email address I used to set it up, it say no user with that email....

Any ideas?

Few things you can do:

- clear cache and cookies for your domain - it could be a cookie conflict of sorts.
- make sure the session_cookie_secure setting is disabled, unless your manager is served exclusively over SSL.
- check the MODX error log in core/cache/logs/error.log to check for any errors.

-- It is a local install, I did clear my browsers cache

--This is what the session_cookie_secure looks like:
Value =
xType = combo-boolean
namespace = core
area = session
editedon = 0000-00-00 00:00:00

how do i make sure this is disabled?

--There is no file named error.log in the log folder

Thanks for your help, I hope we can get this working!

the database says I have logged in 3 times, yet I have never gotten past the login page. it just seems locked on the log in page

Sounds like a permission issue, though it never happened to me with a default user.
Maybe the admin user group doesn't have the proper acl attached to it

Try emptying and/or repairing the modx_session table in PhpMyAdmin.

While you're there, check the compress_js and compress_css setting in the modx_system_settings table. Try setting both to 0.

Then, delete all files in the core/cache directory and clear your browser cache *and cookies* before trying to log in again.
