csrf error on login and admin

[Kenneth Gonsalves]

hi,

I just upgraded to the latest trunk. I get csrf cookie not set error on
attempting to log in - both on site and in admin. I have added the middleware
as prescribed and also added the {% csrf_token %} within the form in my login
form. I am not using a custom view as I am using the auth login view in the
prescribed manner. Any clues as to what is going wrong?

problem has cropped up again - I can login, forms work on the website, but not
in admin. Login works in admin, but all other forms in admin do not work -
giving the csrf error. I am stuck.

can you be more explicit with the 'csrf error' -- if it's the check your
cookies are enabled one.

Check your own cookies, if you have two admins on the same domain

like example.com/proj1/admin and example.com/proj2/admin; common on dev
servers. logging into one sets a global cookie for example.com that conflicts
with the other disallowing login till I delete existing cookies.

Hi ,
I had the same problem...
After added the middleware
'django.contrib.csrf.middleware.CsrfMiddleware' to the list of
middleware classes, MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.
My Problem is resolved.. Its working Fine now...

You could also refer this link..

if you had read my mail, you would have found that even though I did all this
it was still not working - the reason was browser/proxy cache. Hitting reload
several times solved the problem.

Excerpts From The First Annual Nerd Bowl (#7)

JOHN SPLADDEN: In this final round, the two teams must assemble a 16-node
Beowulf cluster from scratch, install Linux on them, and then use the
system to calculate pi to 1 million digits. This is the ultimate test for
nerds... only people in the Big Leagues should attempt this... [snip]

BRYANT DUMBELL: Look at that! Instead of messing with screws, the
Portalbacks are using duct tape to attach their motherboards to the cases!
That should save some time. [snip] They've done it! The Mad Hatters have
completed the Final Round in 2 hours, 15 minutes. That's one hell of a
Beowulf cluster they produced... drool.

SPLADDEN: With that, the Mad Hatters win the Nerd Bowl 105 to 68! There's
going to be some serious beer-drinking tonight back at the Red Hat offices.

DUMBELL: Linus Torvalds has emerged from the sidelines to present his
Linus Torvalds Trophy to the winners. What a glorious sight! This has
definitely been the best Nerdbowl ever. I pity those people that have been
watching the Superbowl instead.

I tried another browser - same problem of erratic behaviour, at times login
works, at other times it does not - forms on site work, but forms in admin do
not work. Then I thought maybe my webserver was giving the problem - so I used
the developement server. Login at admin does not work. 'Cookie not set'. Login
to the site works, and then I can bypass the admin login screen - but forms in
admin again give 'CSRF token missing or incorrect'.

problem solved - one of the other contributors to the project had overridden a
whole lot of admin templates which were causing the confusion.

back to the drawing board! Still not working properly. I tried with konqueror.
It worked for one site. The moment I went to another site, the csrf problem
started. With firefox it works at times and doesnt at other times. This is the
situation with all the developers in the lab - and they have a variety of
distros, browsers and platforms. We have decided to revert to a pre csrf
version until we can spare the time to sort things out.

Having the same problem with the dev version of django. I just can't
get into the Admin.

Works fine in Chrome for some reason but with Firefox or IE I get:

403 Forbidden

CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

Reason given for failure: CSRF cookie not set.

And I've tried clearing the cache and cookies from the browser. All
without luck :/

Might have gotten somewhere with this.

I'm using nginx and rewriting urls with www to be without www. And in
firefox I seem to be getting the following weirdness in firebug:

domainname.com, status: timeout, domain: domainname.com, size: 1.8kb,
time: 26ms
domainname.com, status: 200 OK, domain: domainname.com, size: 1.8kb,
time: 146ms

So the request gets a timeout after 26ms for some bizzar reason. I
remoed the rewrite rules and were able to log in to admin with
firefox.

Ok. Most likely the problem is when nginx is giving me 499 (client
timeout) errors.

Ok. Just so anyone browsing this later.

The weird timeout error was just a stupid javascript bug. And I blamed
tornado first, then after giving fastcgi a shot and still getting the
error I blamed nginx. Then after trying apache2 + wsgi and still
getting the same timeout I blamed linode. Then after I noticed I get
the problem locally too, so naturally I blamed the django dev version.
And after trying djanog 1.1 I blame my python code. After I noticed it
was correct I found my javascript bug :( I'm sorry tornado, nginx,
linode and django!

Anyway still get the csrf error occationally. Not a big problem just
requires some shift + reload.
