When I went directoy to the b2edit.php file, it took me to the login screen as well. Just for funzies, I tried logging in again, and this time, it worked.
maybe its time to revert to moveable type 🙁
Davehoo,
Have you tried the latest beta? There is a fix included which relates to not detecting cookies after loging in. This may fix your problem.

yeah, its not cookies. same no login with different browsers, different OS, etc. I’ll give it another spin when I get my own server back up.
success, moved to a different server , repeated and rinsed..all is groovy !!!
Being an addicted b2 user I want to move to wordpress – I think. I mean, I really would like to try it at least. It runs locally (wordpress-071-gold @ Apache 2.0.44/MySQL 3.23.55/PHP 4.3.0 under WinXP Pro). After a login an empty page appears. Going directly to b2edit gives and empty page. Index.php and b2.php work.

I have seen nothing here to help with this problem. I install wordpress, but it won’t let me log in. The log in window actually says error logging in before I even enter anything.

Sorry. Have to eat my words. Just deleted all cookies. Then logged in. It worked.
I had the same problem when installing both wordpress and b2, just yesterday.
I think I managed to trace the problem to the path specification when setting cookies.
When I added an explicit path argument to the setcookie() function, the cookies became available to the verifyauth php script which requires them.
It then seemed to work. The fix I made was to b2login.php. I added the extra parameter to all setcookie() calls.
The original path for the cookies included the “b2login.php” filename which prevented them to be accessed from within a directory.
I would be happy to know if this is the correct explanation….
Thanx.
the changes i made to the setcookie function in b2login.php is to add the parameter “/b2/” (which is the directory where the b2 or wordpress stuff is in my system. specifically:
setcookie(“cafelogpass”,md5($user_pass),time()+31536000);
changes to
etcookie(“cafelogpass”,md5($user_pass),time()+31536000,”/b2/”);
ok… i hope this answers your question minimism.

I can’t log in either. All I get is the same login page, no matter what user name or password I type in. I would expect to get some sort of error message?
Why is this so. It makes it hard to adopt this product if the login doesn’t work.

I just did a fresh install of the .71 code. No matter what I type in the login screen, I’m cycled back to it. The index page shows up fine, I can register new users without a problem. None of those users can log in, however.
I’ve cleared my cookies, tried two different browsers, same problem. Do I really need to make those edits suggested above, or has the team discovered a different problem source?
Double-check your siteurl settings.
Hi, i really like wordpress but cannot get it to work. I am having the same login problem – wordpress is installed and everything runs ok, i just cannot log in – either nothing happens at all when i click the log on button, or if i refresh my browser i sometimes get a 404 page not found error. I am running Xitami on Localhost as my webserver, with win XP home, php 4.3.1 and MySQL 4.0.13, wordpress 0.72-beta-2 . Would like to know if this prob is fixed please, if not what can i do?.
