I'm trying to run a MediaWiki on a Debian server at my school. There seems to be something wrong with the login function: if you log in, you get immediately logged out. If you check the box for remembering password across sessions, you stay logged in, but you can no longer edit pages. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

This means sessions aren't working.

See the notes about session configuration at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sourceforge#Sessions They may not help you exactly but should point you at the things that need to be fixed.
