Hi, I have SSL installed on the server, I turned it off to see if that was the problem, it's not.

I have been reading all the other threads on this problem and nothing is working. For example, I changed STORE_SESSIONS from 'db' to '', nope no luck there although now it consistently says:

'There was a security error when trying to login.' - and yep, I have searched on that one too, but the posts about that don't make sense as otherwise I wouldn't be able to log in on my local copy which is running the same version of PHP, same version of MySQL, etc., the two are mirrored.

Everything is working properly on the store side, including logging in/out. It's just on the admin side.
