Description of my issue:
I am setting up a development site on the same server but in a new c panel live site is rainbowrv. com development is rainbowrv.org
Backup went well, moved full site 1.6 gigs to the development folder. kickstart worked well, I am unable to log in.
I do see that I am logged in when I go to the front end because the module 'who is on line' shows me in. I try and log on with registered user names and can see that they too get logged on but I lose control of the session or something because when I try and get to a restricted page it says to log-in.
One curios note i found while searching for a resolve in your forum was https://www.akeebabackup.com/support/site-restoration/Ticket/24902-after-moving-site-from-dev-server-to-production-for-testing-can-t-log-in.html
the user in that thread also had 'sc login enabled' . I have that login and also a joomla to jomsocial registration link.
Please advise

I was reading further and decided to load up a another attempt over the last one and it works now. I was just about to quote out the line in my htaccess file for non www to www and give that a try but the install worked . the only other changes I made this time was in naming the site details screen in kickstart. I would like to see the best recommended input when a development site is being cloned.
Thanks for your attention but I guess I started crying too soon.
