I’ve search these forums and I know this topic has been brought up in various forms before, but I’m having trouble with it anew and cannot seem to stumble on the right combination of various posts to get it working. I hope someone has an idea. Here’s my scenario:
- I’m running Ubuntu 26.04 server with LAMP stack on Amazon AWS
- Moving a 3.6.16 install of phplist from a shared host to this one
- Did clean install of phplist 3.7.0 on new server
- Copied the database from my previous installation to the new server
- Made sure mysql users, passwords, and privileges matched from old install to new
- Copied old config.php to new installation
- Everything appeared to be working until I logged in, then I got the “session was invalidated by a new session on a different browser” problem whenever I tried to click on a link to a different page
- Deleted the phplist_admin_login table as advised in several threads
- Everything appeared working again. Logged in and could navigate okay.
- Then tried to change some Settings and was hit with the “Error: Invalid security token, please reload the page and try again” problem. Can’t change any settings.
I’ve gathered from researching that both of the issues I’ve run into here are php session problems that have surfaced now and again for years, so forgive me if I’m going over old ground here again for some of you, but I just don’t understand what’s going on or how to fix it from here. I’m so close to getting this move to the new server working. Can anyone help me get over the finish line?
