cakephp 3 [RuntimeException] Unable to configure the session, setting session.cookie_path failed

Question

I try to transfer a cakephp3 application from my local server to a webspace.

I get the following error-message:

[RuntimeException] Unable to configure the session, setting session.cookie_path failed

What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

So I applied a workaround:

following the stacktrace I opened the file

/app/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Network/Session.php(212): Cake\Network\Session->options(Array)

and scrolled to line 212

there I changed

    if (!empty($config['ini']) && is_array($config['ini'])) {
        $this->options($config['ini']);
    }

to

    if (!empty($config['ini']) && is_array($config['ini'])) {
        //$this->options($config['ini']);
    }

My website loads now and I can login and logout

Answer 2

Cake is using ini_set to modify that setting as far as i know. Either the webhoster providing your webspace prohibits setting cookie_path or prohibits using ini_set completly.

Btw: http://marcusmoenius.lima-city.de/ shows output of phpinfo from your server. Thats a security risk, you should disable it.

Edit: Using google may have solved you problem faster: CakePHP Error: Unable to configure the session, setting session.auto_start failed
