Can't login to wiki

I had set the wiki and all works with the $wgServer = the server ip. (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) the server worked as expected. I moved the wiki from an old server to a new server and everything worked. This is a windows server with IIS. I installed a cert for SSL traffic and that part is working. If I change the $wgServer = https://wiki.mysite.net the site will come up and I can see all pages, but when I login it will not let me. Invalid username or password. If I switch back I can login again.

I have restarted the IIS server, I have tried from other browsers, tried in incognito mode thinking it was a cache problem. This did not help. Found several places where it talkes about having the wgServer variable wrong. Not sure what could be wrong here.

Any help would be great.

MediaWiki 1.34.1
PHP 7.4.5 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL 8.0.20

Thanks

John

thats very odd. Usually server name has nothing to do with ability to login.

I've already done that. How much time do you believe that is required to login, this is the 21st century.

This seems unrelated to this thread. Please start a new thread with appropriate details.
