[Mediawiki-l] changing host name, login problem ?

[Hiram Clawson]

Good Morning MediaWiki Fans:

We have copied our wiki system to a new machine for a hardware
upgrade.  It appears to work pretty much OK except for one
little glitch.  A login appears to function, the appropriate
headers change on the page indicating your user name, but then,
at the next click on anything the system believes you are coming
from a non-login state.  It appears to have lost track of
the login state.  Is there any identifier in the system that
would be dependent upon the host name ?  While we are testing
the copy the machine has a different host name than usual.
I don't notice any host name dependencies in any configuration
file.

Thanks for your assistance,
