Problem with cookies?

Hiya

I think I have now installed Mantis ok, but when I try and log in for the first time with administrator/root I get:
"Your browser either doesn't know how to handle cookies, or refuses to handle them."

This happens in IE and firefox, cookies enabled, on a localhost server.

Any advice welcome :-)

try the IP address

For some reason, browsers stopped taking cookies from "localhost". You need to have dots in the name. I think it's a strange behavior mixed with certain parameters to setcookie() that cause this to happen.


Try 127.0.0.1
