Vanilla 2.0 RC2 - Can't sign in

I'm really not sure what's going on here. I've done two completely clean installs of RC2, setup the databases and such, and then it redirects me to the forum asking me to sign in. I enter in my username/password and it spins the little load wheel, and that's that. It doesn't actually sign me in.

I know this must be some incredibly simple problem that I've overlooked, but my brain is fried from my day job. Anyone feel like making me look like a fool and pointing out what I've done wrong?

    Cookie Domain ?

    @michaelalfox I had the same issue locally, when I had set a Cookie Domain in the config.php. I then just left it blank, and suddenly everything worked.

    My Cookie Domain is currently set to 'mywebsite.com'. I guess I'll try it blank to see if that fixes it. I'm kind of wondering why having my site as the cookie domain would cause this problem, though. I really don't know all that much about cookies other than the fact that they're delicious.

    Edit: Yuppers, leaving it blank fixed it. Although, will this cause me any problems by doing it this way?

    i just installed RC2. I was able to get to setup and enter database information. Now i can get to the homepage. However, when i click the sign-in button, the box pops up but i never actually get anywhere to enter a user/pass. Any advice?

    @RjRiley Have you DISabled the config-value "RewriteURL" in config.php? This helped for me - because I had an issue with my .htaccess file and thus the login popup was not displayed properly.

    @oliverraduner To do so would I simply change the value from TRUE to FALSE?
  • oliverraduneroliverraduner ✭✭
    Yes, @RjRiley

    Excellent. Now I can sign in as admin, but can't see a dashboard or anything else. HMMMM

    No need to change anything guys. Just clear your cookies (or close/re-open your browser).

    I've sent in a ticket on the issue.
