Safari forgets all of my login info for every site/logs me out as I browse it! WHY?

**almawatches** · 03-07-2008, 06:09 PM

As the title says, I'll be browsing a site with the phone (i.e. BeeJive), and once if I end up closing the browser and go back on to BeeJive's site, it'll display the GET STARTED screen again instead of already having my info stored. Also, I'll go on facebook and as I'm going from one page to another I'll be logged out and prompted to log in to view that page. It's a pretty big hassle to have to keep logging in every single time I click a link on facebook, can someone let me know what may be going on here?

same here

**Nefarious** · 03-08-2008, 11:17 AM

I had that problem on 1.1.3. Once I upgrade to 1.1.4 it was fixed.

**Y-not** · 03-08-2008, 04:23 PM

i still have it on jailbroken 1.1.4. is there no cure for this?

**stlcaddie** · 03-08-2008, 04:44 PM

**kutrackkid** · 03-08-2008, 04:48 PM

Do this:

chmod 4755 /Applications/MobileSafari.app/MobileSafari

just curious as to the difference between this one and the one i posted?

also, @ stoics. just slightly offended...i wouldn't have posted it if i wasn't sure myself whether it would fix the problem or not. it fixed it for mine and that's why i felt okay to do so. plus, this is actually a fairly common issue for 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 users and has been posted in many forums

**stocis** · 03-10-2008, 09:08 AM

it seems to be working thanks eurisko

i'm sorry i'm a bit over-protective when the commands are on the whole applications folder.. eurisko's suggestion was a bit more close to the one i was looking for rather than a general command.

**jtesnani** · 03-10-2008, 09:12 AM

ah, no problem at all. i'm glad eurisko's fixed your problem though. it was quite annoying

Some programs should be left under the root domain. Your command would place all ownership under mobile.

thanks for the ınfo about the fıxes. As I understand, the chmod can only be done ıf I ssh to my phone. And ı thınk to do that ı need to ınstall openssh. But ı cannot fınd thıs app ın the ınstaller

can u guys tell me the repo for ıt?

and also poınt me to a how-to to ssh to the phone?

thanks

or better yet ısnt there a fıx to ınstall thru ınstaller? sımılar to the the regıon patch

**ifini** · 03-10-2008, 03:54 PM

I cannot ssh to my phone. I can copy any mıssing fıle thru iphone pc suite though. Can anyone send me the mıssing plist file and there it should be located?

I would then copy it to the correct place using the pc suite

thanks

**stocis** · 03-12-2008, 07:11 AM

u dont need to replace anything.. just change some permissions..

**Y-not** · 03-12-2008, 07:27 AM

I have first tried the chmod 4755 mentioned earlier as well. the only way I could do it was to get the file using iphone pc suite, then upload it to a solaris machine chmod it there and upload it back to the phone using pc suite.

But that did not work. Do I need to do anything else after the chmod is done? I was not able to find the repo for openssh to perform the chmoed operation on the phone. thats the reason I used the pc suıte method

any help will be much appriciated

I was having the same problem and I found a solution on the Apple forums.

Here is the solution: connect to your iPhone using SSH via Terminal (or WinSCH). Then check the content of the folder /private/var/mobile/Library/Cookies.
If the files are owned by the user root, change it to mobile, then use this command:
chmod -R 777 /private/var/mobile/Library/Cookies
to change the permissions on these files.
