Unable to login to admin

I installed a clean version to my server to check the new version over before upgrading my main site, however on installation i'm unable to login to the admin and the login pages on the main site didn't work they just keep going back to the main login page and no log off appears in the header.
I've installed a couple of times to make sure i had my username right ect, i've been reading the forum and i read about winmerge which i use anyway, but i was doing a clean install and thought there would be no need for it surely?

I can't for the life of me figure out whats going on, i installed it locally on my PC using easyphp and i can login to the admin area there. i've upgraded before and never had any problems, am i being thick???

thanks in advance zen cart is the best!

I never could get the changes to work in the sessions file.

I finally accessed the config file, removed the DB so sessions are now:
define('STORE_SESSIONS', '');
