hello, no great ideas today yet...and i might be talking out of a hat but could your login error be related to login authentication? are you logging in as an ordinary user (not root) and the authentication mechanism is...? is this a new install? was/is there any successful login for this install? what are your server setup details? like OS? distribution of linux?
