WebUI gets into an endless Login loop

[sdfgha23]

WebUI and password problems seem to have been discussed a lot here, but still this problem is quite maddening - here is the step-by-step:

(1) Start deluge [I use the deluge-gtk, from the desktop, for the moment]
(2) Connect to it using a browser - login using the default password
(3) Observe it all functioning properly - you can see the torrents, make changes, etc.
(4) Click the the Options/Prefs/Configure button and open the pane that lets you change the Password and/or the Timeout and other things
(5) Make ANY change there - e.g. set the timeout to something else.
(6) Hit Apply and/or OK
*** You get into an endless loop of Login Prompts !!! You are asked for your password again and again!
If you enter the:
(a) Correct password - you just get another login prompt window
(b) Incorrect password - you get an "You entered an incorrect password!" message and back to the login prompe.

No, I have not and do not wish to change the password! All I want is the WebUI to let me in! It clearly makes a distinction between the right and wrong passwords, but _something_ seems to get into some endless loop of logins when that particular config pane is used.

Thanks!

I had this issue the other day. In my case, my server's date and time were way off (I was in the year 2003). Because of this, when Deluge gave my browser a cookie for my session, my browser threw it away because it assumed it was too old. Check you date and time and make sure you sync with an NTP server (I use Ubuntu's)

I have this problem now, but on the raspberry pi. The time & date is set right though, I'm not sure what's wrong. Can somebody walk me through this?
