Ok, now I hope this isn't just me (I can produce it elsewhere, but the config between the two is very similar). I use cookie mode, and sometime between the start of this year, and LinuxTag the cookie mode seems to have broken. I get the login page, but after that I just get a blank screen. Absolutely no errors from PHP, in any shape or form (or even logged to any file!), or any error from Apache even. Here is part of the communication between my server and a browser, I filled in the login page, enabled my tcpdump, and hit submit.

For safety in posting here, I changed one character in the pma_mcrypt_iv so that you can't work out my username and password. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
