I was having the same problem with 1.7.0.2 and found that editing app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php as suggested in this thread does allow you to log in, but it does not resolve the underlying issue, which has to do with session cookie lifetimes.  Another way to resolve the issue, without changing any code, is to go into database and update the core_config_data table to change the session cookie lifetimes.  You can do this by first checking to see if a value exists for this attribute, and if it does, update the attribute, if it does not exist, just add it.  The following is what I did for Magneto 1.7.0.2 using CentOS 6.3 and MySQL, setting the value to 84600:

If no value is returned then add the attribute to the table:

If a value was returned then update the existing value:

When you are done make sure to clear the cache and session folders, or you will continue to loop.  It probably wouldn’t hurt to clear your browser’s cookies as well.

Cheers!

xildatin,

Thanks for the tip. I’m also running 1.7.0.2 and tried updating the db values for cookie_lifetime and it didn’t help. That issue may be specific to CentOS as I’m running my local install on Windows. The only thing that works for me is updating the app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php file. Instead of commenting out starting at line 88 I started it below the $cookieParams array and right before the if block at line 94:

I’d prefer to not have to edit the code like this which is why I was hoping that the db entry would fix it. Maybe someone else knows of a fix that doesn’t require these edits.

Hi, you can not changed the password in database, because the password have been encrypt.  If you can not login by forgot password, you can use forgot password feature, then new password will be emailed to you.
Thanks

I am newbie designer in Magento. I was facing the same problem and cannot login to admin in my Windows XP. After reading this thread, it has helped in logging to admin.

Thanks,

This solution is for magento-1.4.0.1:

- Go to magentodir/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php

- and comment just line 100 like this

// call_user_func_array(’session_set_cookie_params’, $cookieParams);



It will work after that!

For working with Magento-1.7.0.2 locally, using MAMP, laurabinos’ solution still works—thank you! Line number has changed to 108.

ok, but that does not seem at all relevant to Magento.

Yes this worked for me. Thank you so much!!!!
Using Magento 1.7.0 on a Godaddy Dedicated Server. Not a Localhost.
Just moved the Magento site from one domain to another and could not login to the admin afterwords.
I also had to change the table in the database core_config_data and change the old url to the new url in 4 spots

// session cookie params
        $cookieParams = array(

I’d prefer to not have to edit the code like this which is why I was hoping that the db entry would fix it. Maybe someone else knows of a fix that doesn’t require these edits.

That’s work for me as well. Thanks to share the solution. Hopefully, Magento can fix it in next version.

thanks for advice, i hope it helps

I’m facing the same problem. Perfectly easy installation, but I can’t login the admin after installation. I read all posts in this section, as far as I can see my line of code looks the same as provided below. I still face the login problem. Anyone any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks!
