Error when loggin into admin after moving website

Our website is moved to a new webserver, everything works expect 1 thing, the sentinel auth does not work propperly when trying to log into the admin section.
I get an htacces auth screen where I can enter my user and pass, but what I try I cannot get logged in. I am sure that user and pass is 100% correct.

I disabled this auth section now in the script and checked the settings, everything is OK and entering a new user or pass does not have any effect at all. This new user is also not allowed to login.

I reloaded and scanned for new admins, changed all user login names and password and still I cannot get logged in.

What is wrong here?
Nothing is changed at all, the site is only moved from 1 server to an other, the server uses the same OS and apache. Even the absolute paths are the same.

I jus can't get is to work anymore.
The only way tyo get login is to disble in /includes/sentinel.php the following 3 lines at the bottom:
// header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=Protected");
// header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
// die(_AB_GETOUT);
When these are disabled I can log into the admin section.

Note: PHPnuke itself works fine, it is only the sentinel auth what does not work.

Hope someone can advise why this does not work anymore....

Are you using HTTPauth or CGIauth? If you're using the latter, you'll need to edit your .htaccess file to point to the full path of your .staccess file. Until that is pointed to correctly, you can't do anything with respect to Sentinel's authorization setup.

And if you're using HTTPauth, you can try using CGIauth instead and set your own username/passwords for access to admin.php.

HTH,
