By the way, you can't edit the passwords manually in the table as they are stored encrypted.

Please check that you are using PHP 4.1.0 or later (Moodle requires this). Several other people with this problem were in fact using older versions. If you are too, please post back.

Moodle 1.0.1 will be out soon - it includes some checks for this situation and prints appropriate feedback. The recent nightlies and CVS also contain this new code.

Thanks Lisa. I suspect this would be something different though, caused by the difference between the $CFG->wwwroot you set in config.php and the real URL.

I still haven't been able to duplicate this problem using any combination of browser, server or client OS available to me (Mozilla, IE, Netscape 4, Konqueror on XP, OS X, Linux).

So far it sounds like it's an obscure cookie problem with certain browsers, but I suppose it could be flaky session support by PHP - I'd appreciate more reports of browsers (brand, version, OS) that are having the problem, even if they are confirmation of other reports.

If you're having the problem consistently on a particular server please send me the URL - I'd love to take a look.

It looks like something in your config.php is sending output (and it shouldn't be). Did you add any spaces or anything after the final ?> in that file?

Hmm, OK, I'll add a new configuration option to make this behaviour more controllable. It'll be in CVS later today and in Moodle 1.0.1 which might be tomorrow.
