I have recently setup one of my client's live site to local. And was unable to run it on local instantly just after modifying core_config_data and local.xml, then I opened .htaccess and found

But now I am unable to login to admin panel.
Removing .htaccess also didn't helped.
Also suggest the possible cause of problem if you think it's not .htaccess.
Btw I have gone through all possible solutions on magento.stackexchange & stackoverflow.
Please provide a solution so that I can login into admin panel.

  • is it showing any error during login in admin ? Oct 27, 2015 at 5:19
  • @AkhileshPatel NO Oct 27, 2015 at 5:27
  • did you try to clear cookie and check? Oct 27, 2015 at 5:31
  • @AkhileshPatel as already mentioned in the question : "I have gone through all possible solutions on magento.stackexchange & stackoverflow" Oct 27, 2015 at 5:44
  • @AshwaniShukla see DirectoryIndex index.html index.php in you new htaccess code and try admin with index.php Mar 19, 2019 at 7:27

I think u have wrong Cookie domain in settings. Under System > Configuration > Web the settings should be as follows

enter image description here

Also set "Session Lifetime (seconds)" under System > Configuration > Admin to a high value like 7200 so you don't need to login repeatedly

  • as already mentioned in the question : "I have gone through all possible solutions on magento.stackexchange & stackoverflow". this is one of them Oct 27, 2015 at 9:27
  • have u tried <session_save>files</session_save>? Oct 27, 2015 at 9:41
  • yes, I have tried it with no success. But even if that would have worked some problems might arise at later point due to memcache/htaccess. Oct 27, 2015 at 10:44
  • Ok, then you have just one way, setup xdebug and trace login action to find the problem. Oct 27, 2015 at 13:08
  • I think you didn't read the question properly. Pls read the question again to understand better. Oct 28, 2015 at 4:30

Change web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url from core_config_data to http://127.0.0.1/your-magento-dir/ instead of http://localhost/your-magento-dir/

  • as already mentioned in the question : "I have gone through all possible solutions on magento.stackexchange & stackoverflow". And this is already mentioned. Oct 27, 2015 at 9:27
