    Cookies not enabled on install

    Posted 16 years 2 months ago
    • Fresh install of Joomla - verify minimum req/s etc.

      Before I get to the MySQL configuration I get this error that my cookies dont seem to be enabled, but it is, and the same result in IE.

      maybe file permissions? I dont know ??? :-\

    • I looked into the configuration of the php install an found the following.
      I originally redirected the php sesssion folder to a location under wwwroot.
      Uninstalled PHP. Deleted the folder from Program Files.
      Deleted the wwwroot folder as well as the local temp folder.
      Re installed php and ran php info php file.
      The session path was showing the original path but the actual ini file shows the default path - what the???

      Has anyone come across this cookie error - seems to pop up with regularity in other forums but no real sollutions.

      ??? ??? ???

    • Is this with Joomla 1.5.1, if so this appears to be a common issue being described at forum.joomla.org if you want to research further.

    • I have installed XAMPP and ditched IIS altogether - the less MS the better.

      Now I am trying to start a Joomla install using Apache 2-

      My httpd-vhosts.conf file reads:

      NameVirtualHost *:80
      <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName herald.localhost
      DocumentRoot "C:/My Downloads/Herald/public_html"
      </VirtualHost>


      and my windows hosts file reads:

      127.0.0.1 localhost
      127.0.0.1 herald.localhost

      HOWEVER - if I type herald.localhost I get a error 403 Access forbidden: You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

      I have full permissions to the document root and the directoryindex does include an index.php entry.

      What else? ??? :-[ :)

    • I have managed to solve this ! Yes this is v1.5 of Joomla

      The httpd-vhosts.conf file had to look like this - compare to the original post above:

      NameVirtualHost *:80
      <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName herald.localhost
      DocumentRoot "C:/My Downloads/Herald/public_html"
      <Directory "C:/My Downloads/Herald/public_html">
      Allow from all
      </Directory>
      </VirtualHost>

      This thread may be closed and filed as solved.
      This Apache method may also be used to get rid of the cookie error on install when using IIS as your web server for a Joomla site.

      Best

      PS: Apache beats IIS pants down with regard to speed when serving up the admin section of your Joomla site.
      I was accustomed to the ssslllllloooowwww performance of IIS- Everything opens up instantaneously when using Apache 2
