Invalid log in message after writing new entry- now lost

[matchpoint]

I log in and create a new entry on my blog. When I hit the publish or preview buttons, I am sent back to a log in screen which tells me I have entered an incorrect username or password. If that were the case, how did I get on to edit/create a new entry in the first place? Now I have two very long blog entries that are lost. Can anyone help with this?

Hi!

This behaviour can happen if your provder has not properly enabled PHP sessions and/or PHP session cookies, or the PHP session.save_path is not properly used,or the session.cookie_path points to a wrong domain name. Or if your browser does not accept cookies or you use a antivir/anti-spyware utility or proxy that rejects cookies.

It can be a multitude of possible problems which we'll need to eliminate one by own.

First step would be for you to show us the output of a "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" script so that we can check the PHP cookie/session values for you.

And tell us which browser you use and if you're using any of the antivir/proxy methods and if you configured your browser to reject cookies.

You cannot recover lost entries, though, I'm sorry.

Bestregards,
