massive cookies/sessions login loop

Upgrade gallery first to 1.4.18

I could login without any problem btw. Did you clean out cookies from cache ?

[pixiestixs]

yes ..and that works well ..but users have to clean out cookies each time they close the pages or the same loop occurs again ..

I have disabled cookies completely at forum right now ..am testing ..but so far that seems to have solved the issue ...

Question : do i need to disable bridging while upgrading cpg?

[Nibbler]

No.

Common issue. Either be consistent with your use of the www prefix or enable sub domain independent cookies in SMF.

upgraded - went smoothly no hitches

changed cookies to domain independent.. so far so good -crosses fingers-
