.htaccess redirect makes admin login fail

[jlknauff]

Are you trying to enter your admin using the www. address or without?
Is there any difference if you try each approach?
What exact symptoms are you experiencing when you say "admin login fails"?

With the www. If I got to it with out the www, it redirects to the www version.

The symptoms are that the screen simply refreshes, but does nothing. The same thing happens if I try to resent the password.

Check your admin/includes/configure.php file. You might have the non-www version of your domain name in the HTTP_SERVER or HTTPS_SERVER defines. If so, changing it to the www version should fix the problem.

I checked those and they contain the www.
