I had this problem myself. IIRC it was caused by using the older
authentication modules. What versions are you using? If C:P:Session is
installed and used, session management is transparent to the login process.

If this is not enough to get you started, post the versions of the Auth and
Session modules you're using. The cookbook is a little out of date.


use Catalyst qw/
 	-Debug
 	Static::Simple FormValidator
 	Authentication
 	Authentication::Credential::Password
 	Authentication::Store::DBIC
 	Authorization::Roles
 	Session
 	Session::Store::FastMmap
 	Session::State::Cookie
/;
