Security error on account creation

[Aodhan]

Hey all-

Helping a friend with a site, and we are running into a "cookie error" stating that cookies have to be enabled. We have set the browser to accept everything known to man, and it still gives us the error.

Any ideas? Url of the site is http://www.mydvdepot.com

Yea - cookies for your site is not setup correctly. Post a copy of your CONFIGURE.PHP file (less the database bit).

[Aodhan]

I'm a dork. Edited last post out, I'll get a copy of the config file.

[Aodhan]

Ok, here's the CONFIGURE.PHP file. I edited out the database portion, and there is a directory cookie/tmp under the root structure.

Thanks all!

What you need to post is the catalog configure.php - not the admin's (but you have to change BOTH anyway)

Look for and change to:
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://www.mydvdepot.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://www.mydvdepot.com'');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/cookie/tmp/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/cookie/tmp/');

Do you also have to CHMOD the cookie path '/cookie/tmp/' ?

I find it odd that he wants to use a "non-standard" directory for this is normally it is /catalog/ or / (root) which normally hads the correct permissions (777 or 776). Thus if you move/change this then you have to have the same permissions on that directory also. I personally never tried moving it - so permissions should be looked at. I just assummed permissions was properly set.

We didn't change anything other than to install it to the root directory rather than a catalog directory. Here's the modified catalog side configure.php. I still get the same error when attempting to login. Both the cookie and tmp directories have permissions of 776.

Im bad....


define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://www.mydvdepot.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://www.mydvdepot.com'');

s/b
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mydvdepot.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mydvdepot.com'');
or try:
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mydvdepot.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mydvdepot.com'');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://www.mydvdepot.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mydvdepot.com'');
or try:
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mydvdepot.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mydvdepot.com'');

When I change it to either of the options, links come up as "http://www.mydvdepot.com/mydvepot.com/login.php". Only with "http://www.mydvdepot.com" as the cookie domain do the links come up correctly, but then I get the cookie error.
