open cart control panel keeps redirecting asking for password

[HuMaN-BiEnG]

hello there
i have nginx newly installed as reverse proxy infront of apache
but i found a strange problem
when i try to login to open cart control panel it keeps redirecting me to
control panel without enabling me to login
the authentication informations that i used are correct & after i have
disabled nginx it works without problem
here are the contents of configuration files that i uses
