Hi,<br><br>I help with the website for young professionals working in foreign policy (<a href="http://www.ypfp.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.ypfp.org</a>). It's a non-partisan site for young and mostly dc-based think tank folks, congressional staff, etc to discuss foreign policy.
<br><br>We've been running the site for about a year, and recently our web host (<a href="http://opensourcehost.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">opensourcehost.com</a>) installed a module (suhosin) for php that they say has corrupted the cookies of our users. I've tried moving the site to another hosting company, reinstalled the database/cms, and unsuccessfully searched for a solution. They say the only solution is to tell all of our users to empty their cookies, which is not exactly what I would call a "solution".
</blockquote><div><br>Rob<br><br>There is a work around for this issue:<br></div><br>If you have access to your php.ini, you can change the cookie name from the <br>default PHPSESSID to something else.<br><br> Before:
<a href="http://session.name">session.name</a> = PHPSESSID<br><br> After: <a href="http://session.name">session.name</a> = DRUPALSESSID<br>
<br>This will cause all your users to be issued new cookies, that should be working,<br>and the old cookie will be ignored.<br><br>If you do not have access to php.ini, you can do this in .htaccess<br> php_value <a href="http://session.name">
session.name</a> 'DRUPALSESSID'<br><br>Or in settings.php:<br> ini_set('<a href="http://session.name">session.name</a>', 'DRUPALSESSID');<br><br>This depends on whether your host allows the setting of this variable or not, but
<br>it is sure worth a try.<br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">We've decided to look for someone to assist in resolving this issue. We're also going to be looking for someone to help with theming and module development for the site (once we've been able to acquire some grants).
<br><br>The organization doesn't have so much in the way of funding right now, but we're looking for someone that is interested in working with us as our 600 member organization continues its rapid growth. <br><br>
Thanks for reading!<br><span class="sg">Rob</span><br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://2bits.com">2bits.com</a><br><a href="http://2bits.com">http://2bits.com</a><br>Drupal development, customization and consulting.
