When creating a new account on my Drupal site, the CiviCRM profile field returns an error:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

Could not find valid Key

Return to CiviCRM menu.

This began only after I added address fields to the profile.

Thks!

a. there is no entry for uid = 0 in your drupal users table (people delete it by mistake and/or user import module might be deleting it according to one IRC user)

What does this mean? i don't get it.  Do I need to INSERT "UID = 0" or something?  I'm confused.  Or should I put delete the first user? 

In settings.php there is:

$base_url = 'http://example.com/lobo';  // NO trailing slash!

In civicrm.settings.php there is:

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'http://example.com/lobo/' );

You need to make sure that the above two variables have the same value (skip the trailing slash difference)

lobo

I have a UID 0
I have cacheing turned off
I have the same base URL for both drupal and civicrm.
But still I get "Could not find valid Key" every now and then.
And when I try to search "individials födelsedatum < YYYYMMDD" I get it everytime.
"födelsedatum" beceause I use a swedish locale, it means birth date.
Any more ideas?

Ohh. and this is the backtrace in case it helps:

Hello I found this topic when I searched for my error.  Even though it is an old post it had some valuable information.  I am setting up a new test site for a different client with CiviCRM.  Drupal 5.7, Civi 2.0.3.    Unfortunately, I am having this error every time I try to "Find Contacts" /civicrm/contact/search/basic?reset=1   

I have, as recommended on this post:

1) made sure the URL is the same on settings.php and civicrm.settings.php (minus the / difference)
2) Caching is "off" disabled
3) I made sure there is UID 0 in drupal 'users' table.

Again, I am consistently getting this error whenever I "Find Contacts" using the basic search, every single time.

Any ideas?

THANKS you rock!  I switched the drupal `sessions` table to utf_general_ci on all applicable fields and NOW it works!.  It was the default swedish.  The drupal was installed with Fantastico, maybe that is why.

Perka, I had the same problem, eventhough I applied the three suggestions above. I played around in PHPMyAdmin a little bit myself and my new user account creation seems to be working now...

I noticed that the UID field in the Users table had a default value of "0", and that didn't seem right to me as this ought to be a unique value for each user. I don't know how the default value got set like that, but as soon as I deleted that default value, I could create and save new users!
