I'm trying IPB 2.2 RC 3 and I've problems with cookies.

- The session id isn't stored in a cookie but it passes via url;
- The autologin doesn't work: when I close the browser I must re-login;
- The forum doesn't write the cookie forum_read.

I've already tried to:

- set Cookie Domain, Cookie Name Prefix, Cookie Path in ACP;
- disable stronghold cookie;
- delete all cookies

without solve the problem.

I've this problems with IE 6 and Firefox 1.5.

If I try IPB 2.1.7 (on same machine) there aren't problems with cookies.

Is it a bug? I read others users has the same problem.

Thanks,

Mauro

In the cookie settings put {blank} in all the empty text inputs, and your domain name such as youchat.co.uk in 'cookie domain'. this will solve your problem! :D

I've tried, but the problem wasn't solved :(

Have you reset your cookie in your browser?

Yes, I empty the cookie's cache from my browser

And youve got:

In The Top Text Box Your URL EG: (youchat.co.uk)
And In The Others: {blank}

??

Yes, I have.

My domain is localhost (I'm testing on local).

I change the domain name from localhost to localhost.it (edit file hosts) and now work :thumbsup:

to localhost.it (edit file hosts)

What do you mean by that exactly?.. How have you done it? :o

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Right, so it's the hosts file @ %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Thanks ;)

localhost is a singular exception - I haven't found a cookie domain that properly works for it. ;)

As such, locally, I use my IP address in the cookie domain, and use the IP address in my board url + upload url. You don't put a dot before the IP if you are using an IP. Works properly then.
