The later versions of Magento are actually quite stable.

To try and fix your login problem try clearing var/session folder. Also ensure that the permissions for your var/ folder are 777 recursive.

Didn't make a bit of difference.

I have been screwing around with this for four days and we still can't get it to work.  I'm sorry but I'm so not impressed with Magento....

I had such high hopes for this package.

Hello,

This is just one of those issues which any open source platform could suffer from.

If you would like i can have a look at it for you, see if i can figure it out. Free of charge.

If you want me to have a look at it send me an email, my email address is on my website.

I think I may have found the issue, it looks like it could be a timezone issue.  I'll let you know for sure tomorrow, I'm too tired at this point to screw with it, and screw it up further

[Conor_Tomkins]

Ah,

Now you mention that yeah - I've seen that cause the same issue before. Its because if your local computer time & the server time mismatch it causes the cookie to instantly invalidate.

As i said in my previous post, one of those little annoying issues that could happen on any open source platform.

I did not notice until last night when I did a date display

[DATE] it gave me March 28, 2015 and a time of 23:09 but the time reflected UTC, which means that the time was way off. 

I fixed that by copying the appropriate zoneinfo to /etc/localtime, reset the clock and moved on.....

Completely my fault, and as much as I want to blame Magento, I can't.

I'm not sure I'm following you on the footer_links issue.

[Conor_Tomkins]

Which section are you up too?

[Conor_Tomkins]

Hope this helps.

Hi  there --  Sorry to hear that you're having such a frustrating time with this.  Although there are other solutions offered in this thread, this one doesn't require a code change.

If you change the URL key of a CMS page, you also need to set up a URL rewrite to reroute any requests for the previous URL. Here's a link that explains how:

http://merch.docs.magento.com/ce/user_guide/Magento_Community_Edition_User_Guide.html#search_seo/seo...

Use these settings:

ID Path:              privacy-policy
Request Path:   privacy-policy-cookie-restriction-mode
Target Path:      privacy-policy
Redirect:            Permanent (301)

Then, go to Cache Management and update the invalid caches.

http://merch.docs.magento.com/ce/user_guide/Magento_Community_Edition_User_Guide.html#system-operati...

This is actually a really good example of a custom rewrite, and I'll make a note to include it in the next user guide update.

I hope this helps!
