After installing nop 4.0 on my local machine (with little problems). Try now to login but it's not working. I get no error no nothing. I'm always directed to the login page.
Have you yet gone through the "installer" (set up DB, etc.)?
Can you use SSMS (or similar SQL tool) to see if any errors in the Log table?
Yes I installed by nopCommerce, after I installed the web hosting tools of Microsoft and changed the working path in the web.config as shown here in the forum - before it not works.
I can see all the tables by the management tool of MS SQL (the db is local too) the log table has no entries (only: "Application started"). I changed the password in the table too but nothing works...
After the (try off a) login I find the cookies "nop.authetication" and "nop.antiforgery" in addition to "nop.customer" too. So I think it's not a problem of the login procedure and the database.
