I have copied an instance over from another folder on the same server.
I made a copy of the SQL DB and restored it into a new one.
Front end works perfectly (so there is a connection to the Umbraco DB)
I can not login though.
The funny part is that in the text boxes, the placeholder is @placeholdersusername instead of username and @placeholderspassword instead of password.
When I load the original site in the exact same browser, from the exact same computer I see username and password.
Also, before I made any changes to the web.config, I tried to login as well (while it was still connecting to the orginal DB) and I had the same problem.
I do not think the problem is DB related, but I can not figure it out.
I did manage to copy over an instance a couple months ago but I don't recall having this problem.
Are you sure you have copied over all the files from the original site? Because judging by the missing placeholder values it has probably failed to load some resources. Try opening Chrome or IE developer tools and refresh the page to see if there are any 404s or JavaScript errors during page load.
Can not Login after I copied from another folder

I am running 7.1.3.
Here is an image of my problem:

I copied the entire folder on the server itself.
While comparing the working page and the new "not working" page, the only resource difference that I notice is the "DependencyHandler.axd" script.
But that is obviously a .net script so its not a "missing file".
Any other advice?
Thanks
One of my colleagues had the same problem recently, and I'm trying to pick my brain on how he fixed it in the end...
Thanks... waiting....
