Question

I am using magento community edition 1.7.0.2.I am not able to login to back end of magento.I know this problem can be because of chrome not accepting cookies. But how to fi

Answer 1

This so far is the best solution rather than changing the code elsewhere http://iamtheshadowonthesun.blogspot.com/2012/10/magento-cannot-login-to-admin-panel.html

Using phpMyAdmin, in your magento database, look for the core_config_data table and click it. Click the "Search" tab. Then on the "path" column set the operator to LIKE %...% and the Value to cookie and click the "Go" button to search.

After searching, set the value of web/cookie/cookie_path, web/cookie/cookie_domain, web/cookie/cookie_httponly, and web/browser_capabilities/cookies to NULL

Answer 2

One simple solution is to do the installation using Opera browser and use it to log in because it saves the cookies itself. It works!

Answer 3

what worked for me is what Haijerome, unfortunatelly I can't login into the backend to change the config. This is what I execute whenever I install a new fresh magento:

insert into core_config_data(scope, scope_id, path, value) values("default", "0", "web/cookie/cookie_httponly", "0");

then:

rm -Rf var/cache/mage--*
