Hey @Amin_Pirzadi,

Welcome to the community :raised_hands:

Are you accessing your n8n instance over HTTP or HTTPS? If you are using HTTP you may see this issue and it would be worth trying to set the N8N_SECURE_COOKIE env option to false and seeing if that helps.

Hey @Jon ,
Thank you for your good advice.
Problem solved by adding this env.

- N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false

now I have a problem probably related to this case.
I used simple “webhook” and “Responde to Webhook” in a workflow
It works properly in test mode, But there is an error with the production url.
Is it because of the type of protocol (Http)! used?

Also, I changed the webhook from the get method to the post method.
The result is a 401 error!

I suppose it’s because you have a weird webhook URL :slight_smile:

You should specify a DNS name, not an IP wildcard.

have you tried to open a webhook page in the browser?

  • If the problem was related to webhook_url, it would not give 401 error

  • Also, webhook with test url was not called correctly

I think for url you can use something like this without needing domain name:

  • 0.0.0.0
  • 127.0.0.1
  • localhost

In these cases, n8n is accessible from outside the server with the server’s internet ip.

You don’t have a port set on your webhook url but you are trying to access 5678. I would start by updating WEBHOOK_URL so it matches what you are actually using first but it is possible that it could be related although you have no authentication on the webhook.
