Just installed 2.4.1, and am running into an error on a clean install. If I run a dev/build?flush=1, I get:

[User Warning] Cookie 'PastMember' can't be set. The site started outputting was content at line 76 in /Users/tybarho/Sites/sitesprocket24/sapphire/dev/DebugView.php

If I clear cookies, the build works. Perhaps it's not checking the cookie correctly? Seems like it might be trying to set a cookie that's already set, without checking to see if it's set. Bleh, I'm a bad developer =)

I can confirm this happens sometimes (I think most of the time on a dev/build after a fresh install).

Adding this to _config.php temporarily solves the problem:

Cookie::set_report_errors(false);

This has been fixed in http://open.silverstripe.org/changeset/108397 and will be in the next micro release.

I created a new thread from this post: http://www.silverstripe.org/upgrading-silverstripe/show/290536
