The baseURL we have is:

Yet the preferences do not seem to work.
I tried analyzing the cookie and this is how it looks before and after updating the preferences:

Before:
NameJSPWikiUserPrefsValue%7B%22PrevQuery%22%3A%22%22%7DHostw3int.hitachigst.comPath/wiki
After:
NameJSPWikiUserPrefsValue%7B%22PrevQuery%22%3A%22%22%2C%22SkinName%22%3Anull%2C%22TimeZone%22%3A%22America%2FDenver%22%2C%22DateFormat%22%3A%22dd-MMM-yyyy%20HH%3Amm%22%2C%22Orientation%22%3A%22fav-left%22%2C%22editor%22%3A%22plain%22%2C%22Language%22%3A%22en%22%2C%22SectionEditing%22%3Afalse%7DHostw3int.hitachigst.comPath/wiki

Hi,

I faced same issue for my JSPWiki instance.

Reason for my problem is =====

BaseURL of JSPWiki is -> http://ServerName.com:8080/JSPWiki/ 
 
But when we access JSPWiki it is referred as ->
http://ServerName.com/JSPWiki 

I have setup redirects in Apache configuration so that

Redirect /index.htm http://ServerName.com/JSPWiki

and again
http://ServerName.com/JSPWiki  -> http://ServerName.com:8080/JSPwiki

So even people access http://ServerName.com/JSPWiki it must redirect to
JSPWiki base URL

So cookies are stored with the domain name ServerName.com
 
However, JSPWiki try to access preferences from cookie with domain name
ServerName.com:8080.
 
To overcome this problem , I updated apache configuration. And then user
preferences started working for me.

Redirect /index.htm http://ServerName.com:8080/JSPWiki

Please check with your configurations.
I hope this will help you.

Regards,
Trupti Patil
