[SOLVED] Session expired or cookies are not enabled....

Need help on this issue:

"Session expired or cookies are not enabled in your browser. Please press "reload page" in your browser, and enable cookies in your browser. Please refresh/reload page before filling-in."

I've read a lot of information about this and have tried almost (if not all) everything. But I still get this especially on Lost Username/Password.

My current config:
Joomla 2.5.14
PHP 5.3.26
CB 1.9

CB_Antispoof = OFF
System Cache = Disabled
System SEF = Disabled
CB Captcha = Published (tried it unpublished as well)

I also have this in my .htaccess - not sure if this has something to do with it....
AuthName mydomainname.org
AuthUserFile <span>/</span>home<span>/</span>pheart/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile <span>/</span>home<span>/</span>pheart/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php

I don't know what else to do and I've followed all suggestions I've read.

One thing I also noticed in trying to access Lost Username/Password with CB Captcha ON, is that even if I try to put any characters on the Captcha field, it will give me the Session expired issue. That means, it is not even reading my Captcha. Just thought it may have use but again, even if I unpublished Captcha, I get the issue as well.

I would appreciate any help. :blush:

Thanks.

Enable debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla global configuration. Once done re-test and see if any errors expose. If no errors then ensure $live_site within configuration.php is set to ''. If already set to '' try removing your .htaccess file (rename to ".htaccess-DISABLED") and see if issue persists.

I already found the culprit. It was the Mailer Pro I installed before.

I followed your instructions of Debug but didn't see it any issue until I came to renaming my .htaccess file. As soon as I've done that, the request for username/password immediately diplayed error and it has something to do with Mailer Pro. I unpublished all component of Mailer Pro - and kaboom.... the issue was gone.

Thank you very much.
