Revert back to original virgin 4.2 install and DB – cookies need to be set.
What do you mean ‘Cookies need to be set’? You mean this error?
ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.
Please always include the FULL error message 🙂 We’re not actually psychics 😉
Also what are your server specs? PHP 5.3? SQL 5.5?
Ouch (fair comment).. Sorry i plain forgot about the basics after 3 hours of going around in circles. Thinking I had not followed the workflow 100% chning PHP versions.etc… just can’t get good staff these days can you.. 😉

If you neeed any more info (happy to provide it.)
Appologies. Terry
How very odd. I can’t reproduce it (works fine on DH and on localhost, which I’ve almost always got running).
Have you done a full purge of the browser cache for cookies? You have to sometimes hard delete them.
Ok I’d agree if I failed with 4.1.1 as well..this works.
And like you i’ve done this many times before.
Same issue on Macbook (firefox ansd safari)
Same issue on Firefox & Chrome Version 41.0.2272.76 Built on Ubuntu 14.04, running on LinuxMint 17)
Same issse in WIN 7 Pro (Explorer firefox and chrome)
Same issue on WIN 8.1 (Explorer firefox and Chrome)
These are not VM’s all 4 are standalone machines.
if any single one had not come up with the same Message, I would not have open the ticket.
The only other common thing is the Broadband router.
So took the enternet cable out and ran a crossover cable between the Server and the macbook (& deactivated wifi) after Flushing every cache I can think off… I get still the Error message.
So on Mackbook – uninstalled safari and firefox… cold rebooted. used ftp to get chrome installed Chrome ran crossover cable to server.
Same error message.
