Playing around with settings, I recently changed the cookie settings in the site var page.
Now I cant login in to my own moodle. I have tried to clear all my site cache and cookies, but still to no avail.
Now I am trying to manually locate where the cookie settings are stored in the code.
I haved looked high and low in the /admin dir.
Could someone please point out to me where I can manually change this setting so that I can get back into my moodle !!!
Thank You !
It acts like it wants to log me in .... but it never does ..simply kicks me back to the login page ..never says my username er pw is invalid ....I dont get it ....the cookie was the only thing I changed in there before this happened
So if someone could tell me where the cokkie info is stored and what to change it to (default) I would greatly appreciate it !!
This discussion might help you
I don't understand why changing the cookie name would prevent you from logging in.
The setting is stored in your database in the 'config' table. Look for an entry with name 'sessioncookie' and delete it. But as I said, I can't see how that would make a difference.
Well, if there is no sessioncookie entry in mdl_config then that is good.
Perhaps the FAQ entry about Can't login helps?
welp .... the problem in the 2 threads I keep posting on (this one and the other one)
are DEFINATLY what my problem is ....
I have read everything in both threads very carefully
nothing has helped ....
Im still locked out and noothing can get me in ...
my sessions are ok ....
bottom line is moodle has been working fine for me for weeks ..then i changed my cookie var ..and now im locked out ..if i reinstall/upgrade over top of this install will that over ride whatever I screwed up ?
I did change the setting for sessioncookie in the site variables..and that is what I mean ...
and yet I there is NO entry in my Database.
Im getting ready to drop the whole DB and start over ...this is annyoing
Robert - thanks for your info, but that still didn't work for me
I have dropped the DB and started over ... I have a class starting tommorow morning
problem solved the hard way ... !
The cookie was simply called "ping_moodle"
