Upgrading from 1.7.3 to 2.8.0 and after the conversion I try to login and get the following message - “An Error Was Encountered This form has expired. Please refresh and try again.”

I have Googled this and the only reference I can find is on the Developers forum here but obviously I can’t see what was said.

Any suggestions of a way to sort the error out? Running on a local host with wampserver on Windows 7.

Thanks

First thing to try is clearing the EE cache in /system/expressionengine/cache (remove all the folders inside)

Also worth deleting browser cookies and browser history (or just the items relating to the site).

Sussed it out, needed to add AcceptPathInfo On to the Apache config. Thanks Rob

Ignore that, not sorted at all was loging on to the internet based one rather than localhost, it’s been a long day.

Just an update, clean install of 2.8 works fine on localhost , upgrade from 1.7.3 to 2.8 works on a remote site ie www but still getting the form expired message on the 1.7.3 upgrade on the localhost.

Eventually got sorted, went away back to the beta version that was on the go with 1.7.3, upgraded from that then worked my way up through the releases.

I have run into this issue also but updating from v.2.1.0 to v2.8.1.  Has anyone else come across this issue and has a fix? I have been at it for hours and have no ideas other than to simply rebuild the site which will take me a solid 2 days to recreate.

I found a fix, anyone else that needs it can find it here.

What the hell, Ellislab…

I’m experiencing this same problem on 2.8.1 - the problem with leadsuccess’s fix is that it leads to other issues, like this one:

I’m getting “This form has expired. Please refresh and try again” also denying me access to CP after server move - EE281
Clearing browser cache and cookies doesn’t help or any solutions above. Getting to a stage where I’m afraid to move anything EE related. Also got a #1064 migrating the database. Headaches…..As an aside whats the most stable version of EE that uses the Grid Field? 2.7.X?

Logged 2 bug reports:

I’m getting this on a client’s site upgrade as well. Getting a blank page on the front-end and had disallowed characters issue on /system, but resolved that with this fix: https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/20192

Now I’m seeing the login form, but get “This form has expired” error when submitting. Still have a blank screen on front-end.

Followed upgrade instructions to the letter for upgrading from 2.4.0 and everything appeared to go smoothly, but entire site is broken after the update.

Frustrating…

I ran into this issue as well upgrading from 2.6 to 2.8.1.

My issue is specific to Solspace Super Search form on the public facing site. So far I got around it by setting GET method for the search query instead of POST.

Then I tried adding <input type=“hidden” name=“XID” value=”{XID_HASH}” /> to my form with a post method and it works but strangely it seems to turn post method into get method appending a query string to the URL.

Is that normal? Any hint is appreciated.

Upgraded EE to 2.8.1 and Cartthrob 2.5, and now also get this when processing Sagepay payments

This works for me on local dev:

  $config[‘cp_session_type’] = “s”;
  $config[‘disable_csrf_protection’] = “y”;

I added this in the config file:

if(stripos($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],'/themes/third_party/cartthrob/lib/extload.php/sage_s') !== FALSE)
{
 $config['disable_csrf_protection'] = 'y';
}

So it should only disable csrf for this callback URL from Sagepay. Got it from here http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/182631/.
