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?

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

Probably what happened is you opened a URL and the browser was redirected to the login page. But when you log in, the redirect is still cached (because PMA doesn't specify not to cache it). If you have submitted the login form, try reloading the page and it should let you in.

After googling this issue for ages I finally figured out what it was in my case. The problem was that google chrome does a validity check against the timestamp of the cookie (or something like this). Simply make sure that the server with PMA installed on it has the correct date/time settings and isn't out of sync. This should fix your problem.
