Magento

What if it’s not localhost? I am getting the same problem on a hosted site. Also, the problem does not occur when I use a Windows XP machine. I just got a Windows 7 Starter edition netbook. And it’s only happening on that.

Please help. The above solution looks great but won’t help me.

Thanks in advance

Are you using XAMPP in your local setup?

I should have been clearer. I am using a web browser to access my sites on the hosting service servers somewhere else in the country. When I use the browsers on my windows XP machines to access them I do not have a problem logging in. But, when I use my new Windows 7 machine I cannot log in at all.

I thought it was a cookie problem so I checked the browser options/settings. They are fine, I even added to allow the cookies from my sites. Also, I checked my security software. It is fine too. Basically all the cookies from other sites are set properly except from my hosted site. The cookie is lost immediately after being set, I cannot figure out why. Not sure if it has anything to do with being on a shared-server.

Thanks

How about your SSL certificates? Is it valid or self-signed? Did you enable the use secure login in the frontend?

Edit in Varien.php file ( Path: app\\code\\core\\Mage\\Core\\Model\\Session\\Abstract ) the following. In session cookie params

or comments them. ( // )
It works for me too.

The Issue is, Most browsers won’t accept cookies from a localhost, and that is the only issue you are having.

To solve the issue do the following changes in Varien.php. The path for Varien.php isapp/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract.

Find the code below in Varien.php file, started on line 96

if (isset($cookieParams[’domain’])) {

Replace above code with following :

if (isset($cookieParams[’domain’]) && !in_array("127.0.0.1", self::getValidatorData())) {
