CherryPy traceback on startup

[Graham Ashton]

Hi. I've just installed the latest version of TurboGears and get a
traceback every time I try to start the server.

I started a thread on the TurboGears list and Sylvain Hellegouarch
helped me debug the initial problems (tracebacks in sessionfilter.py),
but now I'm having problems loading cookies. He asked me to post here.

The original thread is here:

http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/7edd9e2c89c98d80/54f1f19d54b04549?

I'm currently getting this traceback when I try and load any page:

2005/12/12 12:46:27 INFO Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/Cookie.py", line 453, in set
raise CookieError("Illegal key value: %s" % key)
CookieError: Illegal key value: hide:inst2

Any suggestions? Anything I can do to help?

Thanks,

Graham

well, if you look in cookie.py, you'll see that you can't have a :
symbol in a cookie. Probably that wasn't intended; the value was
probably supposed to be inst2. Instead, it looks as though an
dictionary element 'hide':'inst2' was passed as a single string, rather
than just the value.

How that happened, though, I don't know. Hope Remi does!

I deleted the cookie from within my browser, and now I've got the TG
page loaded without any problems.

Cheers,

Graham
