I have a live site which works fine and can be logged into no problems. I have a local copy of that site but for some reason the session isn't working. If i login, i can tell that the login has worked as it tries to redirect to the success page and i can see that a new session gets started.
But, the system doesn't recognise me as being logged in.
I've changed the cookie_domain config variable, changed session_ip and session_user_agent matching variables but nothing seems to work.
Also, i increased the size of the fields that hold session/userdata data in the db to longtext to make sure nothing was being chopped off.
Is there anything i've missed, anything that i've forgotten?
$config['sess_expiration'] = 'somevalue'
