Upgrade from 4.0.17 to 6.0.2 - Can't login

Our RT4 is old on an old box so I decided I’d rather build a new VM and set up 6 fresh using an exported db. Everything has gone ok, just a few things I needed to ensure were installed etc.

created the database and user. Imported the old db export and ran

make upgrade-database

everything seemed to work fine and I have the login page up. However I can’t login. Using port 80 (no https) and I’ve set

Set($WebSecureCookies,0);

That I’ve seen in other posts but I’m still getting pushed back to the login page. I can see that RT thinks I’ve logged in ok:

[15100] [Tue Jan 20 12:48:05 2026] [info]: Successful login for andy from 10.127.0.50 (/opt/rt6/sbin/../lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm:1026)

but I can’t get past the login page. I there anything I’ve missed?

Thanks

I caved and just switched to using a secure https connection and it all works fine. Not sure why I couldn’t run on plain http.
