Google Chrome browser will not store zenid cookie on local server using IP address

[torvista]

FYI
If you are developing on a local server and so using an address such as 192.168 etc.etc. you may find that
- the zenid stays in the address as you navigate around the site
- if you have more than one language in the store it drops back to english on the home page
- language dependant javascript is always in english,

this is a Chrome-specific issue for local sites.

Supposedly this can be overridden by adding this switch to the executable call but it didn't work for me:
chrome.exe --enable-file-cookies

This is complained about here
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=535
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/is...etail?id=95644
but they have no intention of allowing it.

Hope this saves someone from wasting their time chasing the "problem"!
Stick with Firefox!

Those links that you mentioned, and the idea of enable-file-cookies won't work for Zen Cart .. because Zen Cart doesn't need or use (nor would you want it to) file:// cookies.

A proper workaround to the symptoms you started with is to actually set up a name for your server, instead of using an IP address.
