PhpMyAdmin keeps redirecting to login screen

Question

I'm having troubles logging in to PhpMyAdmin. When I press "login" after typing in my credentials, it just keeps going back to the login screen. I could login perfectly a few days ago. I don't know what I've done that's causing this.

I can login to mysql perfectly in the shell (mysql -D database -u user -ppassword). My sites are running as expected. What could this be?

Edit: logging in works fine in Firefox, but not in Chrome or IE See reply #4 in this topic: https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/forums/forum/72909/topic/4479151

Thx.

If all your configurations for phpMyAdmin are correct but the problem still persists, it could be due lack of disk space. If this is the case, you can use df -h to diagnose the space problem.

My scenario was that a cron was used to create mysqldump of a large database until the space ran out. After deleting the sql dumps, phpMyAdmin logged in as it should.

Hope it helps.
