title: session / cookie issues codeigniter 1.7.2
body: <p>Hi I’m finishing up a project and I’m suddenly having issues with <strong>CI</strong>. I’m running <strong>version 1.7.2</strong> and I’m using the CI session class for setting and getting session data.</p>
  
  <p>This happens in <strong>Firefox and IE</strong>. What’s weirder is the application <strong>only works properly in Chrome</strong>. I have verified that this is happening in older builds of the application too which didn’t have any issues previously.</p>
  
  <p>Here’s my config:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Session</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$config['sess_cookie_name']        = 'ciprojectname';
  $config['sess_expiration']        = 7200;
  $config['sess_encrypt_cookie']    = TRUE;
  $config['sess_use_database']    = TRUE;
  $config['sess_table_name']        = 'sessions';
  $config['sess_match_ip']        = TRUE;
  $config['sess_match_useragent']    = TRUE;
  $config['sess_time_to_update']     = 900; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Cookies</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$config['cookie_prefix']    = "";
  $config['cookie_domain']    = "";
  $config['cookie_path']        = "/"; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I played with adding the cookie domain but the issue still happens. I’ve also read that it could be a time syncing issue with the server time but I’ve tried it on multiple servers. I guess the first thing to look at is why would CI would work in one browser and not others.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</strong> </p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>I never described the issue in detail:</p>
  
  <p>When I try to access /controller/method it'll reload the current page and do nothing. Sometimes if I add /controller/method/ &lt;-- forward slash, it will render the next page.</p>
