Django Admin Login - Redirecting back to login page

[Aidan]

I'm having trouble with the Django Admin. My login page appears ok at
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin but when I try to login with a valid
username or password the page seems to refresh - it reappears with
text boxes empty. It doesn't display any errors on the page (logging
in with invalid username / password brings up all the red errors you'd
expect).

I'm not sure what's going on here. The console gives me the following:

(cache) C:\PythonProjects\CacheProject\cache>python manage.py
runserver
Validating models...

0 errors found
Django version 1.3, using settings 'cache.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

[06/Jun/2011 11:52:21] "GET /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 200 2053

settings.py -
#
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.admin',
)
#

urls.py -

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Any ideas?

I faced this a long time ago and it nearly drove me insane. Eventually I just started a new project from scratch and the problem disappeared.

Wild guesses:

• Open the JavaScript debug toolbar of Google Chrome (CTRL+SHIFT+J), then reload the site and see if there are any 404 errors (that means your static / media files are not served correctly)
• Refresh your browers cache, restart the browser and try again
• delete your database and run a fresh syncdb --all

Best regards,

Martin

Oh and:

• delete all *.pyc files from your project and restart the development server <-- this is a nice one that often solves mysterious problems that seem to be impossible and drive you insane

Best regards,

Martin

I have seen this (though not with admin -- with a custom site login form) when somehow two sessionid cookies have been set. Using the browser tools to delete the sessionid cookies and try again allows login. I don't believe we've tracked down yet how the multiple sessionid cookies are getting set.

Thanks for the input.

I've tried deleting all .pyc files and still get the same issue.

Also checked the cookies - I've got one sessionid and one csrftoken,
so that doesn't look like the issue.

I've tried using the chrome javascript debugger to look for 404's and
haven't found any.

I haven't deleted the database yet as there's data used (by South), to
do migrations on the tables underneath my models. I don't want to have
to recreate it all.

Have commented out the 'SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE' and
'SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE' from the settings.py file.

This has fixed the problem and I can now log in to admin.

I had same problem 
In settings remove SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN or set correct domain
