hi thank you friend its realy helpfull for me

Thanks. Works perfect (You can change a domain - with dots - it works too).

Regards.

Thank you very much!!! You have help me so much! Thanks Thanks Thanks

Does not solve the problem on my online installation.
Still locked out.

Thanks anyway.

Another solution?

Same problem on http://www.twoedgedclothing.com/ so that can’t be explained by the lack of dots in the hostname. Just installed, everything seems fine, but admin login is being denied. I reset the password to no avail.

Your post (and link to discussion forum) was most helpful in de-stressing my afternoon… thank you!
Hopefully I can get productive once again, instead of trying to trawl through web forums looking for solutions to silly problems introduced by a simple (and recommended by the developers) upgrade.

Hi,
I’ve got the same problem than Fletch (”Access Denied” when I try to log in the admin panel). I’ve tried editing the admin password or name directly in the DB, I’ve tried re-installation of the web site but nothing… Any idea?

Hi Guys. I begin with my poor english. I’m sorry. Thnks so much 4 all Jerry Lee.
So, i think i’ll learn better speak english that install or run Magento in my localhost, jiji ok anyway

i’ve re-installed Mangeto using http://127.0.0.1/ address and that it seems to work.

but when I enter in Admin Panel I get this message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /var/www/app/code/core/Mage/Tag/Helper/Data.php on line 32

Cheers people

I’ve spent half an hour to check this problem. Thank you and thanks to Google to have indexed your blog post.

Now for this reason i can’t access my site from any other machine.
Other machine can’t recognize my machine using the magento.localhost

Hi jerry , I am still stucking with the problem.I cant access my website
from other machine.I think it is due to change in the host file.
Can any body help me to solve this problem

Great help!! Thank you very much

You are the man… thanks bro.

Yesssssss!!!! No works under Chrome too!!! Thank youuu!!

problem solved
using http://127.0.0.1
thanks bro

this solved my problem at localhost.
Thanks man!

Great Help dude!

Thank you.

there is another possible fix which works for me, edit your hosts file, linux /etc/hosts windows its somewhere else (google it) and create a domain there like magento.dev pointing to your local IP (apache) in my case 127.0.1.1 and restart apache… obviously you will need a virtual server listening on magento.dev pointing to your development site….

Obviously the above is good if you have more than one development environment ^ you can change your magento base URL (temporarily) while you develop by going into phpmyadmin and running:

SELECT * FROM `core_config_data` WHERE `path` LIKE ‘%base_url%’;

and editing the appropriate fields….

Thanks man!

Hi,folk

This works great!!

Can anyone tell me What caused it to not work for localhost? I used 127.0.0.1 to access admin but it failed and then came to here and I scan all 3 solution posted on top of the page and picked third one.

I think, if i update my magento to latest one then I would have to re-write again. Am I right?

Thanks again

Cheers !

hey thank its really done for me.
thanks once again

Waooooooooo,
it’s very nice, thank you very much Sir,

awesome!!!

Very useful post. all magento uaers must need this.

muy bueno gracias! saludos de Peru

thanks mate! I was looking for a solution for too long. this solved the problem on my LOCAL installation!!

it doesn’t work for me on localhost. WHY??
I tried to modify Varien.php
I used http://127.0.0.1:8888/index.php/admin/
and http://127.0.0.1:8888/admin/ instead of http://localhost:8888/admin
but I can not log into the admin.

Can anybody help PLEASE!!

If the domain is not a true domain then this problem occurs. Its like if you use your localhost to run magento store,then you will face this problem.

You can overcome this by browsing using ur ip address or you can remove these three line from the following page.

app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Session\Abstract\varien.php

$this->getCookie()->getDomain(),
$this->getCookie()->isSecure(),
$this->getCookie()->getHttponly()

Comment these lines line (may be at line 78…);

Hope magento admin will work now on your localhost with the following url.

http://localhost/magento/admin/

Just try out and play with your stores……

Thanks for your tips. Really its very useful for new user

Thanks for help dude!!!

Thanks for you help.its work fine

hi guys easy solution is use Opera with that its work fine. my personal experience

In the latest version of which i’m using is 1.4.0.1
in that the below mentioned code is not available

app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Session\Abstract\varien.php
$this->getCookie()->getDomain(),
$this->getCookie()->isSecure(),
$this->getCookie()->getHttponly()
Comment these lines line (may be at line 78…);

So after doing r&d i found out the solution

search for “// session cookie params” line in app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Session\Abstract\varien.php

change
$cookieParams = array(
‘lifetime’ => $cookie->getLifetime(),
‘path’ => $cookie->getPath(),
‘domain’ => $cookie->getConfigDomain(),
‘cookieParams’ => $cookie->isSecure(),
‘httponly’ => $cookie->getHttponly()
);

to

$cookieParams = array(
‘lifetime’ => $cookie->getLifetime(),
‘path’ => $cookie->getPath()
);

and comment the below mentioned code
line number 86, in my file

/* if (!$cookieParams['httponly']) {
unset($cookieParams['httponly']);
if (!$cookieParams['secure']) {
unset($cookieParams['secure']);
if (!$cookieParams['domain']) {
unset($cookieParams['domain']);
}
}
}

if (isset($cookieParams['domain'])) {
$cookieParams['domain'] = $cookie->getDomain();
}
*/

now login as admin, it will work

Thnx, it works!!!

Thanks a bunch. Its now working on my website. Hopefully, now I can learn it soon and finish up a new website design in magento.

Instead commenting all those line of codes which make it pretty unsecured when used in a production environment, why not detect the domain if its localhost and disable it, then restore usual function when it’s not.

This is how I did it:
