I did try the suggestions for the cookie domain, and obtained the same results.<br><br>I'm running Drupal 5.7. I tried accessing the site using <a href="http://www.site.com/user">http://www.site.com/user</a> and <a href="http://site.com/user">http://site.com/user</a>, and both failed to allow me to log in - the result is the page simply refreshes with the user name and password fields blank.<br>
<br>Both $base_url and cookie_domain settings are commented out. I tried commenting out "RewriteBase /" in .htaccess, but this did not work either. My host says the issue is on my end. Any other ideas or suggestions?<br>

I assume you tried the suggestions for the cookie domain and it failed.<br>
<br>
- Your exact Drupal version?<br>
- When using clean URLs, do you lose your session when using both<br>
<a href="http://www.domain.com" target="_blank">www.domain.com</a> and simply <a href="http://domain.com" target="_blank">domain.com</a>?<br>
- Does your settings.php file contain a $base_url setting and/or a<br>
cookie_domain settings, or are they commented out with a #.<br>
- Also try to enable the "RewriteBase /" line in .htaccess, removing the #.<br>
