 * Hi all,
    I’ve a potentially complex problem. Last week I downloaded and installed
   WP2.0.3 on a company intranet. It’s running on a Suse 10.1 Linux box with PHP
   and MySQL. Everything installed and I started posting to my blog. All was fine
   until last night. I posted my final most recently entry and it got published 
   with no problems. Then I downloaded and installed wp-slimstat. This also was 
   fine with no problems. I could see the stats pages. A few hours later I turned
   my PC back on again and tried to login to the admin pages and this is where it
   all went wrong. I entered the correct userID and password, it appeared to try
   and authenticate me and all I saw was a blank white page. No error, nothing. 
   I was using Firefox 1.5.x to access the blog admin page. I then tried authenticaing
   using IE6. This time I did see an error which reads: “The page cannot be displayed.
   Cannot find server or DNS Error”.
 * So here is what I can still do:
 * 1. The blog still works. i.e. personnel in the company, including me, can actually
   view the blog and read the articles.
 * 2. Searching works, the calendar work.
 * The only way I can login to the admin page is to:
 * 1. try and authenticate and see the blank screen/error message
 * 2. Go back to the blog and display one of the entries, scroll down to a comment
   and click “edit comment”.
 * At this point I get sent in to the admin pages! Hey presto! I then de-activate
   wp-slimstat and everything is restored to normal. No more login problems, no 
   more errors!
 * So what’s going no here>

 * Sounds like a slimstat problem. Check with the slimstat plugins site/forum (just
   posted the link this morning in another thread).
