Thread:Project:Support desk/Login Problem/reply (18)

The problem i'm experiencing just seems to be Internet Explorer only. Firefox and chrome are un-affected either by the hostname or IP address.

Although I can login using IE6/IE8 with the IP address, Example: http://180.10.66.4/mediawiki The problem occurs using the hostname. Example: http://myserver/mediawiki

If I goto the login page a 'sess_xxxx' in the /tmp folder is created. If I attempt to login, or just refresh the login page this seems to set brand new a sess_xxxx everytime.

I have checked the apache logs and the client IP address is always the same regardless if i used the hostname of IP address.

Its not a permission issue.

I have also tried the following which was suggested with no success. $wgUseSquid = true;

Some suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
