After submitting the previous form, we will test your cookie settings to ensure that they will work properly with your website. Click "Test Settings."

Cookie Test Failed

This could be caused by 1 of the following 3 issues

  • There's a wrong cookie domain and path setup
    Check if the domain and path that are shown in your browser address bar are the same as you previously filled in.
  • session.save_path is not accessible
    Open your php.ini and fix the value of that setting
  • You're not allowed to write to the session.save_path
  • Open config.php and find
    //session_save_path('/home/SOMETHING/tmp');
  • Change to something like
    session_save_path('/home/SOMETHING/tmp');
  • Be sure /home/SOMETHING/tmp is writeable (chmod 777 if necesary)
  • Cookie Test Succeeds

    If the test passes, you will be presented with another screen:
