Sitecore Login Timeout

Work with sitecore on my local machine. When I try to enter the "desktop", it hangs in /sitecore/shell/default.aspx?sc_lang=en and eventually shuts down. It works fine if I enter the "content editor". Any ideas how to debug this?

I had the same problem. The solution was to move the data directory to another location (with all the contents). I have no idea why this is.

What's even weirder, once it starts working, you can move the folder back, and it will behave as it should.

We had this problem yesterday. We found this question in Qaru and tried to move the data folder from the website folder to a separate folder. This immediately fixed the problem. Then you need to change this parameter in the Sitecore.config file (or Web.config):

<sc.variable name="dataFolder" value="/Data"/>

to point to a new folder. We asked Sitecore if this was a known issue and they did not have many ideas. Their only suggestion was that this could be caused by Sitecore caching.

Perhaps because your "datafolder" parameter in the web.config file still points to the old location. Change it to a new location and everything will be installed.

I do not have permission to comment on the answers to other answers, but just thought it was good to add my little experience in this problem.

I moved the data folder to another location, as @Maras suggested, then sitecore started complaining that I couldn’t find the license file. If this is your case, just move the data folder back, then it started working for me.
