[galaxy-dev] unable to login user to local instance

Ok, so I think I have everything set up correctly. I'll test my cluster integration tomorrow. For now, I can see galaxy from my web browser. First issue - When I go to User -> Login and try to log myself in (I've already registered myself), it looks like it works, but the browser get redirected really fast to another page, then again to the main page. The User menu never shows me as logged in as it does on the public usegalaxy.org site. Is there a way to check that I'm actually logged in? If its not showing, then I assume something is wrong. Where do I look to debug this?
