Thread:Project:Support desk/Further issues with: "wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again."

This issue was marked as resolved in this post. But it is still a problem for me so i thought i would start a new thread about it.

The issue cropped up a few weeks after i installed mediawiki so i decided to reinstall the whole thing including databases as i had not started using it yet.

This time i dont want to do that as i have been using it and i want to know how to stop this from occuring again.

For both times it broke, I believe the error first appeared when i tried to access the site from my phone. Could be coincidence but worth mentioning.

Two other notes of interest:
 * 1) Both times i was logged in on another computer. I have still not logged out as im afraid i cant get back in again, although i ahve tried a different login name to no avail.
 * 2) When i log in repeatedly on my mac i get a blank page now although before it would give me the warning. Nothing seems to ahve changed and other computers still give me the warning.

I have tried creating a tmp folder in the wiki folder, public_html and root, giving them all 777 permision. I also made sure all my tmp folders are empty and putting session_save_path("tmp"); at the end of my LocalSettings.php as suggested by these sites: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16127882/how-can-i-fix-the-mediawiki-error-wiki-uses-cookies-to-log-in-users-you-have-c http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1148583/problem-with-mediawiki-cookies

The last site suggested ensuring the Internet Guest Account has correct permsisions which im unsure of so this is the only step i have not taken but i cannot see why that would randomly change itself.


 * Wiki version: 1.21.2
 * PHP 5.4 (FastCGI)
 * MySQL:
 * Server: Bluehost

I tried to get the debug log working and succeeded only in chaning my wiki login page to plain text somehow. Even after commenting out the debug log and delting the text file i wanted it to save to this remains...

I am clueless about all this so if there is any other details required for diagnosis, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help i get with this.
