Please help. I've search everywhere and can't find an answer.

Drupal 7 - Omega Theme

It was running just great on our DEV server, but once we copied it to our production server and pointed the domain name nobody can log in.

All the site pages work fine. We're navigating the site perfectly. But trying to log in as an administrator produces "You are not authorized to access this page." Can't even change passwords.

We also have a CAS system that can log people in, but that isn't working either. Both login methods were working prior to the server migration.

Tried...
- Clearing caches
- Flushing DNS
- Checking database for missing users or permissions

What next?

Please help.
Thanks

OK, I found the solution to my login problem.

When we migrated the site to the new server, I forgot to change the $cookie_domain variable in the settings.php file. It was still pointing to our old server, blocking any admin login.

The file was found here: sites/default/settings.php
PHP variable name: $cookie_domain = 'example.com'; (line 340)

Hope this is helpful to someone.
