PHP header not working on local server

Here is each one of my .php pages. I can get it to register and go onto my local server. However when I go to the login page and actually login it will not redirect to the members page. I am not sure what the issue it. I am pretty new to PHP and the code looks decent. Very simple but I am trying to get this to work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

config.php

<?php
$host     = "localhost"; 
$username = "root"; 
$password = "root"; 
$db       = "motofoto"; 

//Connect to MySQL Server 
$con = mysqli_connect($host,$username,$password,$db) or die("Can not connect to Server.");

?>

<?php
    session_start(); 
require "config.php"; //Connection Script, include in every file! 

//Check to see if the user is logged in. 
if(isset($_SESSION['username'])){ 
   header( "Location: members.php" ); //isset check to see if a variables has been 'set' 
} 



if(isset($_POST['submit'])) 
{ 
   //Variables from the table 
   $user  = $_POST['user']; 
   $pass  = $_POST['pass']; 

   //Prevent MySQL Injections 
   $user  = stripslashes($user); 
   $pass  = stripslashes($pass); 

   $user  = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $user); 
   $pass  = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $pass); 

   //Check to see if the user left any space empty! 
   if($user == "" || $pass == "") 
   { 
      echo "Please fill in all the information!"; 
   } 

   //Check to see if the username AND password MATCHES the username AND password in the DB
   else 
   { 
      $query = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM members WHERE username = '$user' and password = '$pass'") or die("Can not query DB."); 
      $count = mysqli_num_rows($query); 

      if($count == 1){ 
         //YES WE FOUND A MATCH! 
         @$_SESSION['username'] = $user; //Create a session for the user! 
         header ("Location: members.php"); 
      } 

      else{ 
         echo "Username and Password DO NOT MATCH! TRY AGAIN!"; 
      } 
   } 

}

1)try to add session close function, this may help as session is possibly not saved yet.

 @$_SESSION['username'] = $user; //Create a session for the user! 
 session_write_close();
 header ("Location: members.php");

2) And as Fred mentioned try to debug with php error reporting.

3) Small note: register.php => change link to Login.php not members.php

echo "Successful! <a href='Login.php'> Click Here </a> to log In.";

PS: I tested your script and it worked fine even without session_write_close();

Alternatively you can use following function to redirect through java script. It's not the solution but you can use as alternative.

function redirect($url)
{
    echo $data= "<script type='text/javascript'> window.location.href = '".$url."'; </script>";
    break;
}
