The cookiesession demo project does not create any files in the /tmp folder (Ubuntu 10.04). This could be a permissions issue. I uncommented and set S.SessionDir in the cookiesession demo project to a folder which is writable by all, with no results!

Is it a bug?

Well. Normally, /tmp should be writable by all.

I use session cookies extensively (also ubuntu 10.04) and all works well.

I will test the session support demo and report.

It works here.
I am also using session cookies from fpweb and they are working here (windows and ubuntu in VMWare).
Even have some working projects on go daddy hosting where I even changed the session dir to be under the cgi program so I can check/delete the session cookie files.

What is your FPC and Lazarus version btw?

Which hosting plan are you using?

Cookies are allowed of course

I use FPC 2.4.0, Lazarus SVN r27800

I tried to use 2.5.1 but hit several snags, so I am not sure whether the test utilized 2.5.1 or not. I will create a separate thread for this issue.

It is indeed

Maybe due to using FPC 2.4.0?

Can you try 2.4.2 RC1 ?

Michael.

I finally managed to install 2.5.1 sacrificing 2.4.0 in the process (woes posted in a separate thread), and the sessiondir works like a charm.

Apologies for the false alarm
