All of a sudden I can no longer login to my gallery3 install using Internet Explorer on my main computer. I can however login with different machines using internet explorer without issue.

I get this error on my server logs:
[Thu May 01 09:59:06 2014] [error] [client 71.184.102.10] File does not exist: /home/schyll5/public_html/imagevault/imagevault

and I am not sure why I get: /public_html/imagevault/imagevault there shouldn't be 2 imagevaults.

Yet everything works fine in other browsers.

I just checked my var\logs this moring and found this:

<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.'); ?>

Could this be what is causing my login issue with internet explorer?

I had the same problem. Made no sense to me either since it was working fine on two other machines with other browsers (also with other IE versions). I find that if I have 1 single tab open in IE11 that I can't login. If I open up a second tab I can then login. It doesn't matter what is on the second tab either, just as long as I have more than one open.

I know that makes no sense but you weren't getting any help here from this forum.

If yours started working all of a sudden as you mentioned, it might be that you had a second tab open, perhaps even the one to post this question.

I have tried changing other security settings in IE11, and cookie handling too, but those made no difference. Every time I open a second tab though it works. Can one of the developers identify why this is a problem in IE11? The second tab might be only one of the factors involved, but it consistently works for me.

Perhaps it is related to this MS bug:
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/810700/subject-ie11-is-losing-cookie-information-and-thus-becoming-detached-from-a-web-application-session
See if the workaround(s) suggested help.
