Help, Cannot Login - No _CSRFToken exists error

Hi theclicklab, 

This is probably happening because the session that contains the users _CSRFToken (which is used to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery) is being unset. There are a couple of things you could look into to fix this:

1. Try setting a directory to store your session data in, you can do this in the CMSB General settings area (see attached). On some hosting services the session files are deleted extremely often by the server unless you store them in a directory you can control.
2. CMS Builder is set up so that session cookies remain for 24 hours, but some servers ignore this and use their own session limits, you might have to contact your hosting company and see if you have access to the session.gc_maxlifetime variable:

3. ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600);

You could also try disabling the `Check Referer` check box in the General Settings of the CMS, and see if this makes a difference, although your CMS backend will be slightly less secure if you do this.

If none of these items work, you can fill out a second level support request here:

and we will take a look into what is causing the issue.

Thanks,

Greg

Thanks Greg, I have tried all those options. I have submitted a support request. Many Thanks

Hi Greg, Just a follow up on this... have tried the following in settings.dat.php:

'checkReferer' => '0',

'session_save_path' => '/directory/path/',
I can see the session files being stored in this directory and they are not being deleted

I get the _CSRFToken immediately on login on all browsers. 

I also have a support ticket in #RDJ-694185

Thanks very much for posting this! I'll update your ticket.

I am also experiencing the same issue. Should I submit a second level support ticket?

Hi there - yes, please do. I'm still troubleshooting this and having another test case would be great.

Done. Thanks.

FYI, Our host also tried to fix this by adding the following to our htaccess file, but error still exists

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
#Session timeout
php_value session.cookie_lifetime 86400
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 86400
</IfModule>

Any updates on this? I am in a bit of bind with one of my sites. I need to push some updates live today.
