I just installed Piwigo.  All went well until I tried to log in.  Then I got the "Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to log in" message.  I tried several flavor of browsers -- never had I had this problem.

Observation:  I have set up with a subdomain going directly to Piwigo --  using url http://myphotos.domain.com .  Program is installed in /myphotos .  Using this URL gives the error.

Work-around:  It turns out that http://www.domain.com/myphotos works just fine.  There seems to be something going on associated with the use of a subdomain.

Greetings

Excuse me! I dont understand your request.
can you be more specific?
A copy of that link !?
(http://photos.no-strings-attach.com/adm … on=phpinfo)
You want to access this link? Is That?

nicolas has find something very interesting: your gallery URL is photos.no-strings-attach.com so the cookie path should be "/" but in fact your cookie path is "/photos". The probability is high that he found the problem.

My intuition told me to give a try to http://no-strings-attach.com/photos and... miracle. Connection works fine this time. Thank you nicolas :-)

@pol, I imagine you want to keep only the first url you give us. So to fix the problem for people using IIS as http server, can you give us (or send by mail if you prefer) a copy of that link :

http://photos.no-strings-attach.com/adm … on=phpinfo

I supposed that the problem is only on IIS and I want to be sure. Thanks for your help.

pol sent me his piwigo_sessions table by email.

I can find my session identifiers (I had saved them in a file) in your table. Conclusion:

1) the session is correctly saved in the database
2) the problem seems to be at read time, Piwigo doesn't find my session. I suspect PHP can't read the cookies

In include/common.inc.php, right after

defined('PHPWG_ROOT_PATH') or trigger_error('Hacking attempt!', E_USER_ERROR);

inserts

echo '<pre>'; print_r($_COOKIE); echo '</pre>';

That's right, I can't login on your gallery :-/

Please tell us:

1) where you found the piece of erronous code you provided earlier
2) how you installed Piwigo (be precise : automatic installation provided by GoDaddy? NetInstall? Package install?)

I have found this:
// username and password sent from signup form
$username=$_POST['username'];
$encrypted_password=md5($password);
$password=$_POST['password'];

Where did you find this? Not in Piwigo I suppose.
