Django admin login does not redirect

Question

I can view the admin login page of django admin, but after entering the correct login information, it will remain on the same login page with empty text fields. It will show messages if the login details are incorrect. I have the following: what methods can be fixed since the log says nothing.

What are some ways to test shell login?

Answer 1

Actually, this happened because of SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True in my settings.py, I accidentally defined it in 2 places, one commented another one without comment, causing this, since the site is not yet working under https. It was a stupid mistake - user1076881 Apr 5 at 7:27 am
