I followed the tutorial for setting up simple authentication (http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog-auth-example/auth.html) and I am having issues with Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome. Whenever I try to login, it just keeps redirecting me to the login page. This only works in Firefox. Could this be a cookies issue? I am not sure how to troubleshoot this.
Edit:
I realized this only works in Firefox. I have added a line in the core.php file under the Config folder to disable the checkAgent and it still does not work.
After further investigation, it was an environmental issue. I was running my webserver/mysql database in an Ubuntu 11.04 virtual machine. I noticed very odd issues occurring. When I created a new virtual machine and loaded my project files, everything was functioning correctly. That was very bizarre.
