Starting work with magetno (eCommerce platform). I installed the framework defining the base url as “localhost“. Everything was OK but yet i was unable to login to admin panel. I even tried changing password in database (Changing the original password to md5 hash).
I just figured out that magento requires “.” in the host name (it should be 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost). So, i had to change the host name every time browsing each new page from admin panel. This solved my bonus problem ;P.
