[Typo3] LOGIN ERROR - COOKIES

[Jaco Graaff]

Hi Olivier - ok - here is more detail (what is  safe mode on / off???):

if you would like I will send you personally the site links and username 
password to see if it works (most likely will)

The demo site that gave trouble was/is TYPO3 3.6.0RC2 - I installed 3.7 on 
the same server and had the same problem - I could not log into backend from 
my computer with the correct username and password - but I could log into 
the same site immediatly from a different computer on another network. I 
could still log onto my other sites from the PC giving the problems (also at 
that stage 3.6). I recently upgraded to 3.8 on my main server and can log in 
without trouble - but the server witht the problem with my PC still does not 
want to work - It is as if it has a problem with my PC only - it worked fine 
for and then suddenly did not want to log in - and gave the cookie error. I 
have the same problem on a test I ran with typo3 on a 3rd server. It worked 
fine and then suddenly it does not allow me access from my system - but I 
can access it from another.....

Now I have a client who can not log into his site (typo 3.8) - the one that 
works with me - I tested from his PC and sure - he can't log into my 3.8 
installation - but I can log into other test installations as well as the 
one I can not log into (the 3.6) on a different server.

I have full admin rights on all servers. There is plenty of hardware to 
spare on all servers.

The thing is that some work on some PC's while not on others and the other 
way around.

Let's call the servers 1,2 and 3. All of these are installed on different 
servers with different service providers - all shared hosting schemes with 
Cpanel or monstercontrol to my disposal for admin.
