Wasn't sure the best place to post, but this seemed right.

I am migrating from one DA server to another. The new server is a CentOS 5.5 vps, install went flawlessly. I used DA's Admin Backup/Transfer utility to backup on old and restore on new - again, went flawlessly.

Sites work fine, email, logins, etc - all work. What doesn't work is User logins to the control panel.

I can login as admin, or reseller just fine. If I try to login as user, I just get redirected to the login screen. If I login as admin/reseller and click the "User Level" link, I get booted back to the login screen. I can even login in as admin and then "Login as..." any reseller - that works fine. But if I "Login as..." a user, boom - login screen.

This is a fresh install with no additional plugins, extensions, skins, nothing.

Nothing is logged to /var/log/directadmin/error.log

The install.log shows no errors. The imports also show success with no errors. I'm really at a loss on this one.

Anyone have any clues ? I've already emailed support, I'm waiting for a response.
 
Tried that. No.

Also, keep in mind, password is known good - I can login as admin, but when I switch to "User Level" (still as admin) I get booted out, so that is not a password related issue...
 
Its probably a sessions problem. Is your /tmp and /home/tmp folders chmod 777 ?

Try /sbin/service directadmin restart
 
scsi, thanks for replying...

Both /tmp and /home/tmp are 777, restarting DA didn't help :(
 
Did you try clearing your cache on your browser or trying a different browser like chrome or firefox.

If its not logging anything then something is definately strange. Did you check /var/log/messages or dmesg for anything.

Also maybe try: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=293
 
Update: Tried again when I got home, everything worked. Pretty sure my Firefox profile at work is the problem. Thanks for the help.

Edit: Never did get a reply from DA. Very disappointing.
