Item13329: First login in the session leads to Not Found page

First login in the session leads to Not Found page

How to reproduce:

• http://localhost:8080/ # tools/lighttpd FW installation
• Login into Foswiki
• Quit browser (without logout)
• Start browser
• Go to http://localhost:8080/ again (you're logged out because this is an new session)
• Login again
• Got the error message 404 - Not Found {url e.g.: http://localhost:8080/?validation_key=3354b7b3ba0b6a8906eac59f6799be87 • reload the http://localhost:8080/ again helps and got correctly logged in

The above rewrites the "default landing page" too.
