Re: COOKIEFILE COOKIEJAR empty

Maybe the cookies are not set by HTTP headers at all (e.g. via JavaScript).
Have you looked through the headers to see whether "Set-Cookie:" does
exist? Also, modified versions of PHP (e.g. Suhosin) might prevent scripts
from writing to files not owned by the same user as the web server / PHP
CGI process, so you may want to try running a chown (change owner) on the
cookie file? (I'm not familiar with server adminstration stuff though.)
