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.
