go in debug mode and print here what you get after logging in

Stewart,
in config.php check this setting
$cfg['session_lenght'] (just after $cfg['do_debug'] setting )

Hi Stewart
this should work:
SELECT * FROM core_setting WHERE param_name = 'defaultTemplate';

Hi Stewart.
Try this:
go on your forma database and run this query
SELECT * FROM 'core_setting' WHERE `param_name` = 'defaultTemplate';
then tell me the result.
