Question

Answer 1

If you are using NGINX + PHP-FPM the previous answers will likely not be of any assistance.

From the command line, run:

php-fpm -i|grep --color cookie_path

See what your cookie_path is, then stat the folder and ensure your php-fpm user has write access to it.

To resolve this issue using Nginx and Php-Fpm, I had to change my cookie_path from it's default of / (seriously, why would this be a default?) to /tmp.

After restarting nginx and php-fpm, it works perfectly.
