Hello all.  Interesting problem here that I am surprised has not yet been reported in the forums.  Unless I am missing something, I have been searching for it for a couple of hours.

Here is my situation - I have a hosted account with Go Daddy and they allow you to create domain name sthat point to sub directories of other domains.  Simple enough except that there seems to be an issue with cookies being set.

When I try to login as an Admin I get the dreaded:

Error: Un-Successful Login Your login was un-successful due to a session tracking error.

Please ensure that cookies are enabled on your web browser and you are not hiding or masking your IP address.

I see a couple of people have run into similar issues which were resolved with cache/cookie clearing or by changing a function in the session-data.asp file.  Unfortunately neither one of those has worked for me.

Godaddy's Help system has a Help topic that I think it on-the-money but I don't know how to easily configure this in Webwiz Forums.  Hopefully it is a global replacement.

Their FAQ says:

Why is ASP being blocked on my server when attempting to read cookies?

Symptom:

ASP is blocked when attempting to read cookies on an aliased domain. For example:

Main Domain: http://www.coolexample.com

Alias Domain: http://www.coolexample.org

Alias Folder: /coolexample_org

This works: http://coolexample.com/coolexample_org/cookies.asp

This does not work: http://coolexample.org/cookies.asp

Cause:

When an aliased domain is inside a sub-application within the application root, the cookie is created with a default path of the sub-folder. For example:

Name: CE

Content: Cookie+Value

Host: coolexample.com

Path: /coolexample_org

When a cookie call is made, by default it does not include a path. As a result, cookies work on the primary domain, but not the aliased one.

Resolution:

When you create a cookie, you need to add a line of code to reflect the correct path for that subdomain.

Response.Cookies("CE").Path=""

Where CE is the name of your cookie. This will create the following cookie:

Name: CE

Content: Cookie+Value

Host: coolexample.com

Path: /


How can I easily change this path in Webwiz? Thanks in advance!

The fix would be don't use Go Daddy, or 1&1.

Both these hosts do not fully support the software due to the way they setup their servers.
