Need to Enable cookies

This occurs in 9.2.0RC2, during first browser session login. It's asking for the cookie too quickly, perhaps. The login will succeed, and "Go Back" will land you in admin, logged in. The error won't occur again until next browser session, or (as I did for test case) after browser cookie cache is cleared.

I dug in with Cookie Safe, to watch the activity.

This actually occured because the CMSSESSID cookie was missing. Technically, it occured because this was a Firefox restored session, with Firefox configured to destroy the cookie cache on close. The session was restored without the cookie, which is normal.

I'll repost if it actually occurs otherwise~

I had this please enable cookies problem too, and after much snooping around and changing settings, messing things up, and re changing them, I finally figured out what I changed to make all this happen in the first place.

In the admin section under Web Site Configuration / System, There is a field, Site Domain

In the admin section under Web Site Configuration / Cookies, there is also a domain field, else cookie domain which will ONLY be used if the flag at the top SERVER_NAME as Cookie Domain is set to NO

If you are using shared hosting, then your server domain name is actually a sub domain of you main one, and your main one is a sub domain of the hosting companies domain.....so you CANNOT change this flag to yes as you as tempted to like I was.

If you can't log in, or get your admin changes to stick, go to your subdomain address to log in.

If your main domain (1st one you signed up with is
myfirstdomain.com

and the domain you are having problems on is
problemchild.com

...try logging in at

problemchild.myfirstdomain.com

You'll be able to go in and change that flag to NO and use your www.problemchild.com in the "else cookie domain" field.

Hope this helps! It sure drove me nuts for a couple of days!

I have been following this thread because i have the same error message
Please enable cookies to post on this site. If you feel that you have reached this message in error please go back to the preceding page and post again
And i have tried everything you all have said but i still can't get in.This is frustrating.
Jon i don't have a clue of what you are saying about how to tackle this.Is there any other easier way to resolve this?I expect our developers or admins to come to our rescue here.Or else i would be forced to think that the security level is way too much and there's no way to resolve this issue.
So anybody who can walk me thru clearing this error msg so that i can have full control of my site again.
Thanks.

mixy Security level its not the issue here, instead manually entered settings at install time OR changes to server configuration its what gives you trouble.

Need to know more about your error
- did you always had this problem
- when and where it happens
- admin or user or both
- cookie and server settings found in cache/MAIN_CFG
- cookie and server settings you found in admin.php?op=settings ...
- your real web address (facebook a DragonflyCMS powered website?)

At this point we might be able to have an idea why you have this problem.
We my get the same error code but it may be caused by different reasons.
