Full Version: [Solved] IE9 Login problem with http://myhost/ (plainhostname)

Hi,

I have installed mybb on a pc without a domain name http://myhost/. My Cookie Domain was set to ".myhost" and Cookie Path is "/". IE9 Users could not log in, IE9 did not send a cookie (verified via network trace). Firefox users could login. After reading http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/arch...lorer.aspx I noticed, that myhost is a plainhostname and there is no domain (or Uri_PROPERTY_DOMAIN in the blog post). I think that IE9 thus doesn't send a cookie.

Changing Cookie Domain to "" solved my issues and I want to share this knowledge with you. (I am not saying that IE9 is correct, but merely that this did help with login problems for us.)

Thank you for providing us with mybb. I am very grateful.

Regards
