Hi, I'm wondering why I cannot login to my Chevereto?

Every time I tried to login it always bounced me back to login screen.

How to debug this?
 
This kind of issues are caused by aggressive session cache. Two times already I've saw two installations with bad session handling which causes that auth_token doesn't work so login doesn't work.

There is nothing wrong in cache sessions (or just about anything else) but the settings should be fine tuned. For Chevereto 3.7.0 I will add a detection system for this kind of issues, but at this time I recommend you you first try to shutdown any cache, rebuild, then try again.

Finally, this is just bad config. The system uses $_SESSION and problem is that those sessions are not being issued on next load, or the thing is just not saving properly. To be honest I don't know because I don't cache sessions, I believe that is a bad practice, or at least, aggressive session cache is a very bad practice.

I don't have any cache running, I disabled all caching in this virtual host.
