Losing session in Firefox when redirect to other page - nnanh01 - 06-18-2015

Hi all,

I use CI Lib. session to do the login function. It is always lost when I go to other page

Note that it happens just in Firefox (using FF38.0.5). In Chrome is ok

This is my configuration:

Code:
$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';

$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';

$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;

$config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH.'ci_sessions';

$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;

$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

and loaded in every Controller:

Code:
$this->load->library('session');

$this->load->driver('session');

I changed config to database as:

Code:
$config['sess_driver'] = 'database';

$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';

$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;

$config['sess_save_path'] = 'ci_sessions';

$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;

$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

and make the data as:

Code:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ci_sessions` (

        `id` varchar(40) NOT NULL,

        `ip_address` varchar(45) NOT NULL,

        `timestamp` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,

        `data` blob NOT NULL,

        PRIMARY KEY (id),

        KEY `ci_sessions_timestamp` (`timestamp`)

);

still same problem.

Anyone help!!??

Thanks so much

I had a problem with firefox logins and sessions too a while ago and although I cannot recall the exact solution I am sure one of the things I did was to remove the underscores from the cookie names. I hope that helps :=)

That couldn't possibly help, not in the way you think it does. If it does, it's not because of the underscores, but because of a collision and changing the cookie name in any way would "help".

You should only need

Code:
$this->load->library('session');

The driver will be loaded based on the configuration.

How do you call the page eg. Ajax?
Someone on the IRC had the same problem (12 days ago).

Problem was the ajax request. The request was from a other domain. Problem called Same origin policy

header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://foo.example"); in the Controller. http://foo.example is the ajax site. Smile
