Greetings all;
I’m running MODx version 0.9.6.1p2
I’ve stumbled on a problem I just haven’t been able to conquer.
I’ve built a site that I’ve copied to another location on the server - so I might have a ’development’ site, and a ’production’ site.
The original ’production’ site works fine, logging into the manager in all browsers.
The copy, however, will only allow login via Firefox (I’m using 2.0.x at the moment).
When attempting to login using IE 7.0.x or Safari, supplying the correct credentials land the user right back on the login screen, no errors or warnings as is usual for a failed authentication. The manager_log table has a successful login, no failed logins are charged against the user in the user_attributes table.
I’ve traced through things, and don’t see anything obvious...
Has anyone run into this before?
Cheers,
Sean.

It may be that the other browsers have old cookies hanging around. Try clearing the browser cache and cookies for the domain.

What is the domain for the second installation? Does it by any chance contain an underscore character?
There is a setting in the Manager for what page the user should be re-directed to after login. Make sure it’s not set to ID of the login page.

Actually, I just learned this myself a few minutes ago while researching cookies and the domain paramter.
The use of underscores in hostnames is an RFC violation and may very well not be supported at all by a browser, proxy or any http client.]
See the user comments on this page for more detail.
