    I finally found how to fix it..
    and this is what fixed it..

    Same error, but I already had

define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);

Adding all this finally got it to work without the cookie error:

define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('COOKIEPATH', '');
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]);

    Just a head’s up / FYI:
    The value for HTTP_HOST can be set by the requesting agent by adding a Host header which can lead to security issues. See this document for more information.

    Not ideal, but if you know the list of domains in your multisite, add those as an array/list and then verify that HTTP_HOST is in the list before using it, defaulting to a known good domain if HTTP_HOST isn’t in the list.

    I had the same error.

    But I have to delete this line:
    define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

    So just add this:

    define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('COOKIEPATH', '');
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]);

    And change this:
    define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );

    (it was “true” before)

    But hey, now I have my multisite working, THANKS TO THIS POST.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    @representacaodigital this solution was the best for me, thank you very much.
