Fresh Install through Softaculous unable to login admin

[DOliver85]

Hi,

I had an online shop running OS Commerce when I was with godaddy, but recently switched servers to and found AbanteCart through Softaculous and thought it looked a lot better and I wanted to give it a go.

I installed it through softaculous and the shop loads up OK - http://   escapeentertainment.co.uk/   shop2/

But when i go into the Admin screen and try and log on, it doesn't do anything.  It just refreshes the login page.

Below is the text from /home/escapeen/public_html/shop2/system/logs/error.txt

Any assistance or ideas offered would be appreciated.

Try to use mysqli option for installation. What version of mysql do you run?
