Strange problem after moving to new hosting provider - admins can't login

I moved a working mojo site from one hosting company to another (FTP'd the files, made database backup's and restored).  The site came right up.  But now, the admin's can't log in.  When they try to log in, the 'Last  Login Date' value in the database is updated, and the "mojoChangeMe" cookie is created, but the "myDomainName.comportalRoles1" cookie is not created.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Jim

What kind of SSL are you using? If it is an SSL proxy server, then it is possible that the web app is not able to detect a secure request.

By default if SSLIsAvailable is true then the role cookie will be marked as a secure cookie which is only passed over secure https requests. But if the web server does not know it is a secure request because of the proxy then maybe it would not send the cookie.

I would try add this to Web.config, if it works after that it would confirm the theory I just mentioned.

<add key="RequireSslForRoleCookie" value="false" />

See also Using an SSL Proxy Server, but be aware that the settings mentioned there require the latest version of mojoPortal
