Background: I have an old 1.2.x installation on my domain, and for various reasons, decided not to upgrade it when 1.3 came out. Now I've decided to get up to date and have installed 1.3.8a - fresh install in a subdirectory, its own database - with the intent of moving it to the root and replacing the old store once the new one is working properly.
I changed the admin folder name after install for security and the config file as indicated. Everything worked fine yesterday. I changed some config settings in the store (admin area) to match my old store and everything was still fine. Today I wake up and try to login and it just reloads the login page. I noticed in several posts that this was the failure return for the login, and that there's a problem with PHP 4.3.x that causes this, but I'm on 4.4.7, so I didn't want to apply any of those fixes until I checked with you experts on whether that should be an issue or there's another issue.
At some point this morning, I was allowed to login for some reason. Now I have gone back right now and it's doing the same thing again.
I'm sure the timeline is unimportant but for reference, I get the first problem around 10:30, managed to login around 11:30, and now am getting the problem again and it's about 11:50
