Hello everyone,

I did a fresh install of joomla with cb1.2 rc4. Everything seems to be ok, except for the registration. I disabled the Joomla login and enabled the CB Login.

When I try to register a new user I get this:

"Session expired or cookies are not enabled in your browser. Please press "reload page" in your browser, and enable cookies in your browser. Please refresh/reload page before filling-in."

Now, I check the forums and found a few things concerning this but nothing as helped. The "plugin.foundation.php" fix that was suggest doesn't apply on RC4.

Can anyone help quickly? I am lost here!

Thank you very much.

WTF? I had the same problem with the latest CB (rc4) and Joomla 1.5.8 during the last 10+ tests (and was about to write an angry forum-post ).

Now I deleted ALL cookies from that domain, tested again and the problem was gone.

That's kinda good, but on the other hand it's harder to track a bug that isn't consistent - and I don't plan to write "If it doesn't work, delete your cookies" on my registration page...

Let's see if I can reproduce it again somehow.

Hello again,

Well, as some of you mentioned something about "WWW", I went ahead and tried it on my actual domain. The login is working properly now.

Here is what I think since my test server is local and doesn't have "WWW", I use 192.168.0.10 for the server. I believe it has something to do with that. the "WWW" is probably hard coded and forced into the cookies or something. So if you are on a webserver that has a domain you should be fine but if you are on a local server, let say Wamp or Xamp, you wont be able to login or register sometimes.

Let me know if what I am saying is true or if I am way off track on this.

Thanks.

I did some testings (on 3 different locations).

with SEF, without SEF, IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3, different computers, cleaning cookies...

conclusion:
this session issue occurs on CB1.2 with SEF (even Joomla's SEF).
no matter the computer, domain, subdomain, browser, OS, IP, any many other variables.

without SEF the session problem does not occur.


this was last tested with all new CB1.2 RC4 component & module.
(on both a fresh installation & an upgrade from a previous RC)
