I've got simpleSamlPHP 1.14 set up, and it's working just fine between the IDP and SP, our client's users can authenticate and login successfully. I need to make some changes though, so I'm trying to log in to simpleSamlPHP itself as an administrator. This causes a redirect loop, and I can see that it's not even trying to set any cookies. This used to work, I'm not sure what changed on the server to cause this problem. I don't want to upgrade simpleSamlPHP to troubleshoot this because our client is actively using it for authentication and it works, and I don't want to update and break that while I'm troubleshooting this.
This is what the config file contains:

I've tried to set the baseurlpath to a fully-qualified URL, but that just causes a blank screen. I created the database and user and if I set store.type to sql, again I get a blank screen. No error messages on screen nor in the log. I've tried to set the cookie domain and that didn't have any effect, it still didn't try to set a cookie.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Again, the SAML authentication between the configured IDP and SP are working fine, I just can't log in to simpleSamlPHP itself as an admin.
