This can be due to one of the following things :
- The users that can login on CService website, can do it because they added
in their "secured internet zone",
or removed from the proxy filtering the address of our website, they could
apply same privileges/restrictions to your site.
- You are trying to access this website, and the address of the "login" page
is different than the address you get when
you see that cookie error .. that can happen in the following situations (a
little bit of apache knowledge is assumed) :
your global "ServerName" is defined to "www.yoursite.com" in
yout httpd.conf
the IP of your web server is 1.2.3.4.
- if you access the login page within
http://1.2.3.4/whatever/login.php the fact apache has a ServerName defined,
will make it replace your http://1.2.3.4/ by
http://www.yoursite.com/ on the next page load.
Since a site can only read a cookie he set ...
"www.yoursite.com" can't read a cookie set by "1.2.3.4", and you see the error.
This can apply also if the ServerName is defined in a
<VirtualHost> directive and you are trying to access the web server
directly with its IP address or another host pointing to same
IP.
- one other possibility finally could be your local date and time on your
webserver and/or database server is completely wrong.
when the expiration of the login cookie timestamp is done against the local
database ( in table "sessions" ) it's done by the DB,
which means db function around date and time are affected by the local
settings. ensure theses system values are correctly set.
PS- If you still have problems after you checked the above, please include the
following informations in your reply.
What version of following software do you have :
- Apache
- PHP
- PostgreSQL
Remember, all your website files must be updated if you update one of them.. e.g. you
can't just take the latest cmaster.inc and not the
other modified files .. or the contrary ... this way you increase your chance for it
not to work.
ensure you also have latest version of the website's CVS version, in
website/php_includes/cmaster.inc
you should see a line like this one : (version 1.115 is latest)
/* <!-- $Id: cmaster.inc,v 1.115 2002/06/15 05:02:24 nighty Exp $ //--> */
