Error type: Could not find a valid key.

Can't for the life of me figure this one out. Every time I attempt to submit a new contribution, it gives the following:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

We can't load the requested web page. This page requires cookies to be enabled in your browser settings. Please check this setting and enable cookies (if they are not enabled). Then try again. If this error persists, contact the site adminstrator for assistance.

Error type: Could not find a valid key.

Return to home page.

Here is the url to which the form is posted:

[JOOMLA ROOT]/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/contribute/transact&

I am using Joomla 1.5.15 and have just upgraded to the lates version of CiviCRM (3.1.3)

Any ideas??

It could be referring to the sitekey variable set in your CiviCRM settings configuration file.  Not sure where that is in Joomla, but that's my best guess.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

Make sure that you are using consistent URLs / domain and machine names

EXAMPLE:
http://www.yoursite.org
http://yoursite.org

... can cause this problem

And consistent with what's in both of your civicrm.settings.php files (front-end and back-end):

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' , 'http://www.yoursite.org/joomla/' );

So what should I do to correct the base domain problem.. I currently have the base domain as ttuwesley.org   and am having problems with people from the www.ttuwesley.org

How do I fix this?
