login cookie issue? 2.3.1

GotchaGotcha New
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I install vanilla 2.3.1 clean, everything seems to be working but when i click login then click home it asks me to sign in again but if i refresh it logs me in. I have tried it on Mozilla, Explorer and Chrome it responds the same way.. I even tried from my phone

    Hello, what OS are you using, and what permissions are set? Is there an 'error_log' in the forum root by chance?

    hmmm.... maybe a mis-match of https vs. http.. or perhaps a cookie path discrepancy (domain vs. subdomain)... or maybe a problem with expires? Does your site have secure SSL? Just guessing at stuff here... can you look at the cookies being set?.. for instance, here is an example I have when logged in (name, domain, path, Expires on, HttpOnly):

    Vanilla-Volatile dev.domain.com / Session / true
    Vanilla-Vv dev.domain.com / "Tue, 12 Sep 2017 17:41:45 GMT" / false
    Vanilla dev.domain.com / "Sat, 07 Oct 2017 17:47:42 GMT" / true

    Is Cookie in the Config that you are referring to?

    $Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Salt'] = 'Nu6EctlcY8JNbjjP';
    $Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Domain'] = '';
