Guessing here, but can you perhaps control that from the Apache

it is set the same. Just saw that there is a CookieDomain
directive which I'm not really sure what does. I was though
actually more though thinking whether using ServerName to
specify the site name would work.

Go to www.modpython.org and type in to the search box:
