RE: The Request appears to be forged

[qtguru]

I can't get over this page, I've tried several solutions, and this happens on my server, I imported the SQL from my local machine into Phpmyadmin, is there anyway to fix this ?

Have you tried on another browser or in the incognito mode? Maybe you just need to clear your cookies.

[qtguru]

Yes, I tried another browser, cleared my cookies and disabled sessionFingerPrint, I can't really pinpoint where the error might be coming from, unless i read the source code for Session::Validate

[qtguru]

I'd assume this has to do with cookies, I see a folder path where it stores the session I will try clearing that because imported the one from my local machine into the remote server. I will update soon

Didn't work either

@Christophe Thanks to Christophe for suggestion the PHP Session save path, I set it to my writable folder and now it works, had to do in this in PHP Cpanel settings

It would be nice to have a documentation page that lists all possible causes and fixes for this general error message. The forum is littered with requests for help regarding this issue, but I think in development mode there could be a link to a ProcessWire documentation page that actually helps to resolve it. There isn't an infinite number of things that can go wrong, and I think it would be possible to list them all, or at least almost all.

Someone could create a topic in the forum, maybe in the tutorials section, eg "how to fix request appears to be forged". And we could then simply add a link to that topic to the error message.

I would put it over here, on its on page: https://processwire.com/docs/start/install/

I put it on my todo list but I cannot promise anything as I hardly have free time these days.

Agreed, because I read alot of forums and realized that it could allude to a myriad of reasons, only reason I was able to sort this was looking at the source and getting help from @Christophe
