Steps to reproduce:
mv old www folder to www.bak
delete www database
create new www database
add privileges to drupal database username
move fresh copy of drupal-5.1 to www
change ownership of ./sites/default/settings.php
access the website enter mysql database, username and password
Get welcome screen
Click "create the first account"
Get "Welcome to Drupal. You are user #1" screen
I also get an email with the username and password

Open up a different web browser and I can't login with that username and password.
If I logout with the browser that created the admin account I can't log back in.

Drupal 5.1
MySQL database 5.0.27
drupal localhost database-specific ALL PRIVILEGES Yes
PHP 5.1.6
Apache/2.2.3 (Unix)
SunOS 5.10

No extra modules other than the default activated

Please help! or let me know what I did wrong to cause this problem?

I was able to work around this issue by added session information to settings.php as noted in this post:

My domain started with www-new so the existing code that was looking to replace ^www. failed
