Cannot log into Admin CP after fresh installation

[CoffeeCake]

Greetings,

I am installing IP.Board 4.3.4 for the first time and am running into an issue following installation where I cannot log into the Admin CP. I am able to log into the forum, yet when attempting to log into the Admin CP, the login box redirects back to the same login. I've tried clearing cache/cookies, and cannot make it into the panel.

I've not been able to locate any other posts with this issue and otherwise the installation seems to have gone without issue.

I'm using nginx as my web server on Debian Stretch.

Thanks for your help!

Do you have a htaccess file? 

Send in an emergency support ticket.

Joel,

There is no .htaccess file. The contents of the directory are exactly what was delivered in the zip downloaded from the client area.

Daniel,

I have submitted a ticket. The issue goes away if I switch to Apache, yet that is not the direction we want to go. Thanks.

I think your web server not configured right. Can you put here your .conf file?

It should something like this:

upstream php7 {
    server php:9000;
}
server {
    ... some defines
    index index.php index.html;
    
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        ... some fastcgi params
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_pass php7;
    }
}

This wrong configured directives may provide your result. Check them or put your full conf file here
