I tried searching the forums on this but nothing I am finding seems to help.

Everytime I install DF, doesnt matter what version I can work on the site for maybe a hour tops and then I get nothing more than Cookies not Enable errors leading to Flood Protection. I have even shut flood protection off and still get that error.

I've never had this issue before. It has been a while since I have used DF and in between then and now I have done some PC upgrades but nothing to my servers. I am using Win 7 Pro 32bit on laptop and 64bit on my desktop. FireFox 3.6, Google Chrome, and IE7 all have this issue on both machines. server is linux based, PHP 5, MySQL 5 as well. My host is iPage.

Any help would be nice as I hate to leave DF in the dust and move onto something else.

Check your domain name cookie settings, whether you have changed the P3P settings from default and whether you have any javascript appearing before the doctype.

stock install. nothing changed in P3P, no javascript. Only difference is that I installed the ReDesign3 theme. link to DF test site is ffsmc.ahardriveworld.com

on my PC I can not access the admin.php page since I've restarted the PC or even if the session times out, it becomes a blank white page for me. Now a friend, off of my network using Windows Vista and the same FireFox install can access it no problem. Is there an issue with Windows 7 that I am not aware of?

domain name: ffsmc.ahardriveworld.com/
Set-Cookie ... path=/; domain=cpgcvs.ahardriveworld.com

You have, most likely, incorrectly changed cookie and server main settings, you also have broken images pointing to cpgcvs.

Problem could also come from your file and HTTP caching/proxy you are using: Apache/Nginx/Varnish

hmm, a web address sure reduces the guessing game.

so to make things easier on me than figuring out why and how the cookie and header file name switched domains I installed a fresh copy of CVS 9 and ReDesign 3 and yet again the admin page is white. I can attempt to login but once I submit credentials a whole lot of nothing. What am I doing wrong? Is there an issue with ReDesign3? Please advise

I'm getting an intermittent 403 Forbidden and it's probably coming from an included file, an .htaccess or something else including your caching system or any other security filtering you may have installed.

If you running a version of apache/php which confronts user process and file owner, make sure that all files are owned by the correct user.
If you php runs as cgi and have apache mod_dav loaded, try disabling mod_dav.

By the way, now it's not setting any cookie and I also get two different type of headers in index and admin ... could be an apache module issue.

I have .htaccess configured for my main site www.ahardriveworld.com but nothing for the ffsmc.ahardriveworld.com. i dont have access to the apache configuration so i cant check or change the modules loaded on the server. so I am lost here on what to do.

Yes, then could be the main .htaccess that is causing issues.

You know the server, you know the setup and if you found out why apache answer "Apache/2" in admin.php but answers "Apache/Nginx/Varnish" in index.php you found the problem, at least I believe.

ok i removed the .htacess from my server for ahardriveworld.com but when I use my laptop to try and access the ffsmc.ahardriveworld.com/admin.php it still comes back blank. but if i go downstairs or since i'm lazy RDC down to my desktop and/or server i can access it with no issues. so this must be an OS / Browser error... ok so i just reinstalled windows 7 pro 32-bit on my laptop. using IE8 it still doesnt load. Desktop is windows 7 pro 64-bit server is windows server 2k8 r2. I can use IE or FF on both the desktop and server and hit the admin page and even log in but i cant use any browser on my laptop. what now?

seriously needing help here. i really want to use cpg nuke but i cant risk others having issues with log in. as my previous message states my desktop and server are working 100% but on my laptop i am unable to bring up the admin page. there is no .htaccess on the domain or sub domain. so please point me towards getting this resolved.

Which version of DragonflyCMS are you using.

ffsmc.ahardriveworld.com is currently using CVS 9

as far i can tell you CVS 9 is very very stable. it must be a server or a df setup issue ... or maybe something within your browser, firewall or network filtering.

Try deleting your browser cookies, at this point I've got no clue.
