Some kind of error
I saw this on RC2 and RC3 just before step 3 of the setup wizard. I hit the back arrow and then continue with the setup and it goes away forever. Could be something in my Fedora, or because it's localhost, or maybe a security token (nounce)?. "A POST request was made with a non-recognised security token; this has been blocked as it represents a security threat." I bet this is no big deal, but if it's not a known issue, I can try to intercept the POST request if needed. I have a screen-shot if needed.

That's weird.
Is it reproducable?
Is it possible you had done a new install after opening the setup wizard, then come back to the setup wizard in another tab?
Could you have left it open for over a week (unlikely I know, but I should ask)?
The error message is specific - it doesn't mean there's no token, it means there's a token that's not recognised. So the above explanations are the likely causes (i.e. the DB being have since wiped, or the token having expired).

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
