I am using Drupal 5.3 running under PHP 5.2.5. The installation works for a while and then when I tried to login as administrator, I just get back the standard login screen. When I tried to go directly to the admin page, I get Access Denied.

I saw a number of posts dealing with similar issue, and everything seems to point to a cookie problem. But all the "fixes" seem to be for 4.7.x rather than 5.x. I have also tried installing 5.7 and that did not help.

Any suggestion will be most appreciated.

There is not nearly enough information to reproduce this problem. Do you have cookies enabled in your browser? Do you have any contributed modules installed? What steps could someone go through from a clean installation to get this to happen?

Problem fixed.

This was my first time using Drupal. When I configuring the modules, I was getting error messages of PHP running out of memory. So I added a php.ini file and increased the memory space from 20MB and 30MB. I started a clean install with only three contributed modules (Actions, CCK, Workflow) in a different directory and copied the php.ini file over, and the same problem appeared. I removed the php.ini file and it seems to be working correctly now. Thank you.
