[louisebrinck]

Hello there,

I am new to try dragonfly Cms and i have some Issues.



In step 4 its says: ERROR: Invalid cookie settings

And i have seach for cookie issues in this forum,but
no one of the posted helped me.


Site Name: Louise Zaar
Domain Name: Louisezaar.dk
Path: /
Administrator Email: lullu @ email.dk
Cookie Domain louisezaar.dk
Cookie Path: /
Admin cookie name: cms_admin
Member cookie name: my_login
Photo Gallery cookie: cpg
Enable Update Service: Yes


This is what stand in the box but it says ERROR: Invalid cookie settings


then i have try to fill the path with /html/Adminstrator
and cookie path with : /home/myname/tmp/sessiondata



bit nothing of this worked.... can somebody help me please?

[Dizfunkshunal]

please search the forums then issue has been covered several times. You will find several threads for this issue.

[NanoCaiordo]

louisebrinck, you misunderstood the settings

cookie and path are related to the domain name

domain name: bla.com
path: /html/administrator
cookie path: /home/myname/tmp/sessiondata

means your website is located in: bla.com/html/administrator
and the cookie will be valid for bla.com/home/myname/tmp/sessiondata

this is not what you want.

At this stage you need to remove includes/config.php and start over again using "/" for both

Just explain to me what /html/Administrator is for.

As Dizfunkshunal say issue has been covered many times but solution may be different, a little debugging will help me addressing you to the correct solution.

NOTE if you are obfuscating your username from the above paths
you MUST change all "/home/www/phpsess" you will found below with "/home/your_uname/phpsess"

Lets start:

Create /home/www/phpsess and, for now, make sure to chmod 777 (world write permission)

Delete /home/www/mysite.dk/includes/config.php

Hit myste.dk/install.php

When you get the error you should be prompted by DF to enter a "php session path" as well; and for this use /home/www/phpsess

Submit again, if it works its all done otherwise keep the window open
ftp to /home/www/mysite.dk/includes/config.php, scroll down till last line
comment out the php session path line and modify the existing path with /home/phpsess

Go back to your browser, make sure you still have /home/www/phpsess on the input field, if not enter it again and hit submit.

Let us know

[louisebrinck]

Create /home/www/phpsess and, for now, make sure to chmod 777 (world write permission) where could i create that?

chmod 777 (world write permission)

dont know what u mean with that?
could i delete the map config.php from ftp?

[NanoCaiordo]

Ask your system administrator to setup a different, and working, php session path for you, easy way.

When done, delete config.php and try again.

I am having similar problems and yes I have used search on the forums, there are numerous threads covering this but none give me the clear complete answer I seek.

I am trying to setup a test server.
I have used wampserver, my dragonfly install is at c:\testserver\public_html

I have got as far as step 4 and am now stumped by the ERROR: Invalid cookie settings problem.

Site Name My Dragonfly Site
Domain Name localhost
Path /
Administrator Email admin @ test.com
Cookie Domain /
Cookie Path /
Admin cookie name cms_admin
Member cookie name my_login
Photo Gallery cookie name

I have tried using localhost as domain name, cookie domain, path in numerous combinations but still no progress.

[NanoCaiordo]

@Gamekeeper try the LAN IP

[Gamekeeper]

Thanks for reply, I have tried the LAN IP as Domain name and cookie domain, no luck

[NanoCaiordo]

All this remind me to change few things inside install.php ...

Before when you try different settings make sure you delete cache/config_MAIN_CFG.php each time, sorry.

[NanoCaiordo]

Need to know what your php.ini say about

session.save_handler = ?
session.use_cookies = ?

I to am having trouble getting past the cookie error.
I also have this code at the top of the page:

I have follow NanoCaiordo instructions and have read the other forums and the wikki article and i am still stuck. I have session data but have a cookie error at the necessary info step.

Can i move pass this or manually edit a file to apply these setting?

[macuserau]

[RECON]

same problem.
tried all possible changing browser... erase config, database again and again. Can i somehow skip the cookie check?
I got it installed in 2005 but now a new install failed.
