Using ngrok with Magento 1 issue

Question

I have a virtual host set up. My local url is http://test.local

When I start ngrok, my local url will become: http://test.local.ngrok.io so I changed my base secure and unsecure url to: http://test.local.ngrok.io/

My problem is that I cannot login anymore in admin side . I am getting this error validation error: Invalid Form Key. Please refresh the page., after I cleared my cache and session folder and deleted the web/cookie/cookie_domain & web/cookie/cookie_path from core_config_data.

Interesting part is if changed back my base url in http://test.local/ I can login instantly.

Any ideas what should I try more ?

Answer 1

It was a virtual host issue, I added one also for the ngrok domain and it worked

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin [email protected]
   ServerName test.local.ngrok.io
   ServerAlias www.test.local.ngrok.io
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myproject
   ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
   CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
   <Directory /var/www/html/myproject>
         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
         AllowOverride All
         Allow from All
         Require all granted  
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
