Changing database user has stopped customers logging in

Today my host did something that stopped our OSC site from logging in.  I solved it by deleting the database user through our CPanel and creating another one, then entering the details of the new user in to includes-configuration.php.  Now we can access our web site again - hooray!!!!

 

But...

 

Now, when I  try to log in to our site as a customer, I enter my user name and password in the log in page and click sign in but nothing happens.  I have tried creating a new user and the same thing happens with that account.

 

Any ideas on what may have gone wrong?

 

Cheers

OK, so the plot thickens.  I just tried with another browser (Safari) and it works fine, so I thought "OK, it must just be Chrome that has the problem"  

 

But...

 

I have another almost identical OSC store on the same server and using Chrome I can log in to that one no problems.

 

This is killing my brain!

It could be a session/cookies issue. Try deleting all cookies for your store from your browser.

 

If that doesn't work you can truncate the sessions table in your database. Do this as a last resort, as it will drop any open shopping carts. Needless to say, backup the database first!

Thanks Jim,

 

I tried that but no luck.  I have also tried on another computer and that does the same.  This particular web site will not allow chrome users on any computer to log in, but my other site will.  Yet this site will log in fine using Safari.

 

I'm so confused right now.
