Upgrade cannot login

Hey,

I have done this before ( A long time ago ) and seemed to of logged in with no problems, but now I am having problems being able to log in. I have currently changed my setup on the server and I am using nginx and php-fpm.

I run the upgrade script and everything comes back as fine.
All the checks even the check for php sessions (everything).

I enter the MySQL details then it takes me to the login page as I must login to upgrade.

When I try to log in it loads a blank page and does nothing.
I refresh it tells me to login again. It just keeps giving me a blank page when trying to login, When I enter the wrong login details it tells me the details are wrong but when I enter the correct details it loads a blank page.
I check my cookied and there is no auth cookie being stored.
I have tried this on several browsers and had no luck.

php sessions are working as I have phpmyadmin installed and that uses sessions aswell as smf

I don't know what I can do to bypass this or for it to get me to log in..

I have checked all my logs for php and nginx and there is no error being reported at all in the error log.
No error and I have E-ALL on error reporting.
Checked every log possible and there is nothing being logged.
No matter what page I try to navigate to it will redirect me to the setup.php page and tell me to login.. But I can't login :(

Any way to bypass this or be able to login would be great.

    Update.
    I bypassed the setup by editing the setup.php file and removing the admin checks.

    The gallery upgraded and installed/semi working now.
    I still have the login problem.

    I have checked that sessions are working in php and they are.
    I checked my php.ini config for the session dir
    session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"
    This dir has correct permissions aswell because phpmyadmin uses it.

    There is no errors in my error log when trying to log in.
    I am shooting blind here?

    I don't know if this is the issue??

    I am unable to login to the item database making it useless for me as there is no way to admin it.

    Any help would be amazing.
    Maybe there is an option apache used to use that nginx doesn't
    Maybe I need to disable something?

    It would seem that something is wrong with your credentials. I do not know what release was "a long time ago" so I can only guess that there is a problem with the password hashing being different than the stored password.

    Whenever you cannot log in you can correct the problem via this troubleshooting guide. http://www.zenphoto.org/news/i-forgot-my-admin-password-now-what-do-i-do-
