clean version of MediaWiki and the broken one you've been given?

I volunteered to administrate a wiki which was left to itself for

to a folder containing 1.19.1, then commenting out all stuff by
the old admin I didn't like and then using the web updater. The
wiki is running at the moment, but I have one problem: When I try
to register a test account, it doesn't work:

You have cookies

But cookies are enabled. I
even tried another browser to be sure.
The server also has no problems with cookies in principle: I wrote
a test script (see
http://wiki.openpandora.de/myCookieTest.php) and
I could set cookies from there just fine. I also read about the
config option to disable the cookie check, so I put the following
line into my LocalSettings.php: $wgDisableCookieCheck=true; But
that doesn't change anything. I've also redownloaded MediaWiki,
checked whether the downloaded archive was correct, unpacked it and
reuploaded all files again to be sure there are no problems there.
So now I've kinda run out of ideas what might be the problem. If
you want to see yourself, the wiki is located there:
http://wiki.openpandora.de/index.php?title=Spezial:Anmelden There
are also some problems with some (not all) thumbnails (see the
mainpage), but I haven't really looked into that, it's far down my
priority list at the moment.

Hmm, I don't think this can work. It seems I wasn't clear enough, but
I got a wiki which was full of spam and was on version 1.15. So I made
a clean new install of 1.19.1 by putting the 1.19.1 files in a new
folder and copying the old LocalSettings.php over, editing it to my
liking (leaving the database the same) and running the web updater.
Then I removed the old wiki and moved the new install to where the old
one had been.
And this new install now has the described problems. They weren't
there with the old version, never had problems logging in before.
So I don't have two versions which are identical but for the problems,
if I had them your idea would of course be good.
It only makes sense to diff the LocalSettings.php files, that's a good
idea, maybe something springs to my eye that way which I didn't see
till now. But I just did that and I really think my LocalSettings.php
is okay.
