[pmwiki-users] Problem with login

[Petko Yotov]

I suspect something changes or blanks the $ScriptUrl variable. I'd check 
in config.php or any included scripts.

Sometimes it may be caused by $_SERVER variables unavailable to the PHP 
process. If necessary, you can define this variable in config.php to the 
correct URL.

Is this an actual web server software like Apache, or the standalone 
recipe?

I wonder why it would work in a normal window and not in incognito mode. 
Does it work in Firefox, and in a Firefox private window?
