I've been having problems logging in to the server remotely.

Whenever I put in my username and password it just goes back to the login screen. It erases the information and resets itself. (I use IE 7). It was working fine until a couple of days ago.

I’m not receiving a ‘login failed’ message either. Any ideas what could cause this?

per haps you want to empty the cache of the browser and get rid of cookies.
install firefox ...
Internet Exploder are the worst browsers anyway

Since you're not even getting an error message I have to suspect a memory shortage.

If you login via ssh and start top, what does memory usage look like? You can sort by memory by pressing "M" (that's shift-M).

It might also be a confused Webmin, though I don't recall ever seeing this exact behavior before. You could restart Webmin to see what happens:

/etc/webmin/restart

Oh, yeah, while I don't particularly like IE, we do test pretty thoroughly with IE and at least 40% of Webmin and Virtualmin users are using IE. It is definitely expected to work fine from all major browsers, including reasonably recent IE versions.

Emptying the cache did the job. Thanks!

I know most who use Unix don't like IE but I've been a Windows person since the first version (oops I'm telling my age).

I don't have a problem with Windows since I use Google as my home page. Hate the MSN home page. Takes forever to load up.

i have windoze on my home computer as well.
I use firefox to surf the inet as it is a better browser build to comply to world standard - w3c.

I have IE 6 and 7 installed too for webdesign/CSS checks.
IE 8 is promised to be a good browser with w3c standards.

anyway good you got the login sorted

Firefox works under windo$e :) So there is no need for Internet Exploder
