Installing Wordpress-MU V1.3 downloaded today.
Installation works in that the script files run and tell me the new blog has been installed and give me an admin password.
When I attempt to login to the admin site I get the infamous "Cookie Required" warning. Refreshing the page doesn't get around the problems as some post suggest.
I have tried changing the wp-login.php script as suggested by several post here on the blog.
I have sniffed the login packets and the test_cookie is being sent but it appears that the cookie is expired.
I have enabled cookies and place my site in the trusted zone in IE and FF. Cookies from the phpmyadmin installation on the same machine are accepted.
I installed the latest Wordpress installation on the same machine and I am able to log into the Wordpress installation just fine. After logging into Wordpress I verified that a test_cookie was in my FF browser and attempted to log into the Wordpress MU installation. Same error.
Just for fun I installed the same Wordpress mu files on a Windows server and it works just fine.
So has anybody resolved this issue? Why does the Wordpress work but the mu doesn't. I diffed the two version of the wp-login.php and other than a call to clear cookies there is no difference in the way the two files generate a check for the test_cookie. They even call the cookie the same thing!
I find it pretty darn incredible the Wordpress hasn't resolved this issue yet.
Does anyone know if I install the next older version if that will correct the problem?
Can anybody tell me why the same Installation of Wordpress_mu runs fine on a windows server? I thought Linux was suppose to be the native environment for Wordpress
