I have set up mediawiki locally, on sign-in the user is authenticated, however when navigating to any other page (my preferences, my watchlist, main page), the user is no longer logged in. A cookie is being created and I have allowed all cookies. My only guess is that the session is being lost somehow. I am using the apache2 server on windows XP. Any suggestions as to where this problem can be troubleshot from or what is going on?

check timezone settings, a common problem with cookies is to set the clock to correct local time but get the timezone setting wrong. This means your system ends up with the wrong idea of what universal time isand that sometimes seems to break cookies.
