login fails on php app with internet explorer only

  • 772

I have a php appl deployed on an apache2 server running on an older release of ubuntu.

I have 4 other servers running what SHOULD be an identical configuration (evidently isn't though).

The facts I have so far:

  • I can login fine with firefox to this system and all others
  • I can't login with internet explorer (It doesn't seem to set a PHPSESSID, and so takes me back to the login screen)
  • If I put the wrong password in, I get taken to the "wrong password" screen.

So it looks like the issue is that php is not starting the session for ie clients, any ideas for where to start looking?

Cheers

  1. check your settings for session into php.ini if settings are saved server side on disk make sure that the user that runs the web server process can write into that location

    date on the server was incorrect, so the cookies were invalid as soon as they were sent.
