Hello here is now a real question for experts here :
STEP 1 :
I go with my browser to my mediawiki site on a debian machine, everything is fine.
STEP 2:
I go with the same browser to my mediawiki site (same options of installation) on a FreeBSD machine.
I click on "Create an account or log in"
login (I can choose any user, it will be the same problem)
password
I don't select "Remember me"
and then I got the error message 'nocookiesnew' :
"The user account was created, but you are not logged in. {{SITENAME}} uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please en\
able them, then log in with your new username and password."
and accordingly, I'm not connected.
STEP 3
Now, i redo the same but I select "remember password (cookie)".
login (any user)
password
selecting "Remember me"
and then I got the same message error BUT
I'm in fact *connected* as my name appears in the topline (before "create a login...").
I can access to my preferences, if I save, no error message... but in fact it is not saved !
If I modify a page, I always get the "verify" error message in red (again and again) despite I click on "save".
STEP 4 (with same browser / same website on the same freebsd computer )
Now, I dont "log in" but I edit directly any page
I modify and I save, and... this works fine.
ARGGGGGG
Can you explain all these paradoxes ?
Best regards, Cyril.
