Magento admin login not working in chrome but works fine for firefox

Question

I am just a newbie to the magento. I have installed magento on my localhost. After all the setup when I used the admin page to login I can't able to login in chrome browser even with my right username and password. But when I am trying to login in firefox there is no problem. So can some one really help me here to solve the problem?

Answer 1

I think there is the problem with session cookie with the chrome browser. So just go through this directory /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php file and comment out the line from 85 to 92 in magento (1.7.2 for my case). Like this

    // session cookie params
   /* $cookieParams = array(
        'lifetime' => $cookie->getLifetime(),
        'path'     => $cookie->getPath(),
        'domain'   => $cookie->getConfigDomain(),
        'secure'   => $cookie->isSecure(),
        'httponly' => $cookie->getHttponly()
    );
  */

after that try to make login from your backend. Hopefully you can make login with chrome. This will definitely help you. If you are still facing the problem then just reply me.
