I’m using UserEngine & LoginEngine and have just deployed my first  
production instance. And there was much rejoicing. 🙂

I’m seeing something that I haven’t seen in my development instance.  
It’s happening on multiple browsers on multiple systems, so it seems to  
be on my side, not my users.

Here are the steps:

- user creates a new account from /user/login (auto verification since  
mail isn’t turned on yet – and I can verify as admin that the account  
is created)
- user gets redirected to /user/login and told to login for the first  
time
- user logs in
- browser spins and spins and spins

One user had Firefox tell them that the page was attempting to redirect  
to a page that doesn’t exist. IE6 just spins forever.

“Sometimes” (whatever that means) I am able to login a user directly and  
see my app, no problem.

The only other thing worth mentioning is that I’m using the SRR SCGI  
implementation because I couldn’t get any flavor of FastCGI working on  
my apache setup.

I’m off to write a slough of test code.

Thoughts?
