 On one of the websites I manage, I am currently forced to use version 2.5,
 rather than either 2.6 or 2.7-b3. I have tried several times to install
 both of these newer versions for our website, trying scratch
 installations, upgrades and installing in a folder and moving to the root.
 In every case, the public part of the site works fine, but whenever I try
 to access the admin panel, I'm asked to "Please log in again." I know that
 it thinks I'm already logged in, because of the meta section of the front
 end sidebar. Also, if I enter an invalid user name/password combination,
 it will tell me as much.

 I am able to install Wordpress in a folder and use it just fine, but
 whenever I move the installation to the root (copy the files, then change
 the urls in the admin panel), it goes to the above behavior.

 For the record...
 * Versions tried: 2.6, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.7-b3
 * PHP Version: 4.3.9 (yes, I know it's ancient, but I'm kinda stuck with
 it).
 * Server: Apache 2.0.58 (Red Hat)
 * MySQL: 4.1.20
