I design my site in win7 system, and today before a server rent, I moving my blog from win7 to my another computer witch is installed CentOS 5.5 for a last test, I have reference the article http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

moving my site from d:/www/ to /var/www/html, and my site runs well, all the post, comment have no problem.

But I can not login into my site. I have two test accounts, one is admin, another is normal user, both account can not login into. when I fill with the username and password, click login button, then page will refresh and do nothing still return to the login page with no error hint. I searched google with a ton of posts, I have tried to rename the plugin folder, clear the web browser's cookies...

Sorry for I can not test a password forget and register, because I have't install any mail scripts in localhost.

Waiting for a possible solution, regards.

Are you using WAMP, XAMP, or something else? – Jeremy Jared Jan 11 '12 at 0:40
@Jeremy Jared, in windows I use WAMP. but in CentOS, i install mysql, php via yum from mysql and php official downloads tar.gz package. then input full wordpress database, change wp_options site url and home to new, so my site's other links all runs well. but just the login issue... I can not login into admin panel to rebuilt permelink for a new .htaccss – cj333 Jan 11 '12 at 14:00

I have solved this strange problem by myself. Share my experience to all.

Find these 2 lines in /etc/php.ini

upload_max_filesize 16M 

post_max_size 16M

Add common before, so that change as:

;upload_max_filesize 16M 

;post_max_size 16M

And final, do not forget restart apache: service httpd restart via SSH.

Then I could login into my site under linux as the win7 system.

I really don't see ANY relation at all between these PHP settings and a login page not working - ordinary a password reset delivered to a local mailbox should have done the trick. If it really fixed it, something must be messed up with your PHP installation/configuration. – syslogic Aug 17 '12 at 1:18

I think that you may need to modify some data in your database.

Assuming your table prefix is wp_ and your database is wordpress...

1) Open up the database Admin

2) Look under the wp_options table and look for siteurl verify it is correct.

3) If you have multisite, look under each wp_XX_options and verify the siteurl is correct.

4) Head to the login page... and login

5) Problem Solved. (hopefully)
