Login not Working on 4.4.1 seems to be having same/similar problem, as am I.
I installed the 4.4.1 install package on my machine which has SQLServer and IIS (to an IIS VD). The install went flawlessly and I can display the home page (http://localhost/DNNTest). I didn't change a thing.
The login reports failed attempts but seems to accept correct attempts (host/dnnhost) but just redirects back to the home page not logged in - the "login" link is still display instead of "logout".
My problem was a conflict in the web.config of the Root application, and my "quick fix" for that problem appears to be the exact cause of trying to loging and getting sent to the home page, not logged in.
The site works fine now as a virtual directory.
That said, just for kicks...if it was me...I'de probably try something like:
Wipe and recreate the new DNN install
Wipe and recreate the DB
Temporarily rename the web.config in the root site to something odd...eliminate the possibilty of it interfering. If the site wont run, perhaps create a new Root web with the same headers, then your Virtual Directory for DNN under that.
On another note: This is probably why I've gotten into the habit of using site names like dnn.mysite.com dnn2.mysite.com, rather then virtual directories.
