Drupal's weird occasional need to login twice

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on February 11, 2007 - 12:53pm

It's actually a persistent need to login twice, on occasional installs.

Of all our servers, including a number with this host (shared hosting), this is the only one with the problem.

PHP version 4.4.4
MySQL version 4.1.21-standard

Something that seems to fix this:

Comment out the URL path.

// $base_url = 'http://www.example.com/drupal'; // NO trailing slash!

This worked for one site on a multi-site install, testing now on a separate Drupal installation on the same account.
