I was working on a site tonight, and when I went to do something on another page (I don't remember which one exactly) I was signed out, and got the Access Denied error. Then, when I tried to sign in, the user ID and password would just disappear as if I never signed in in the first place. I tried in FF, IE, and Opera, and got the same in all places. Has anybody seen this and know what causes it? I've had this happen on another Drupal site, but I'm not sure how I got past it.

Thanks.

Many different things could have caused that, there is no single cause. First check the troubleshooting faq and specifically:

What is your exact Drupal version? PHP version? Are you accessing your site with or without www. in front? Have you set a $base_url in settings.php or is it commented out?

Find any cookies for your site in your browser. Is there only one or multiple? Examine them. Is their domain ".example.com" and their path just "/"?
