Magento – Admin panel hangs after login

admincachesession

I am having a issue on my live server, when I try to login to the admin panel it lets me through but then it just hangs and the panel never gets loaded.
The same code running on my dev instance works fine so I am guessing it is not a code issue.

Any thoughts?

Please check your cookie settings - You can look directly at the MySQL table if needed.

select * from core_config_data where path like '%cookie%';

If you cookie path is set incorrect you will have problems setting an already set cookie.

Check your var folder is writable.

You can test by changing the your local.xml session write area from files to db

The next obvious thing is to clear your cookies in your browser. Chrome will behave this way when moving your site from one domain to another.
