We are having a login issue which appears to be different from most others. Here are the details.

My url: http://www.hobbysquawk.com

Issue: users are unable to login from the homepage. If you click the Login button (next to the gold key) the popup appears but when you enter your username and password it just dumps you back to the homepage. In fact, you can enter any text in the login box and it still just dumps you back to the homepage - it doesn't say wrong username, password, etc.

Workaround: users must go to any thread and click reply. Once they click reply they are prompted to login at which time the login functionality works.

What we have tried:
- all directories and files are set to proper permissions
- cookies are setup correctly in settings.php and ACP
- settings.php is set to 666 (also tried 777)
- removed settings.php from the server so that a fresh copy would be created. One point here, settings.php never regenerated, so we simply copied over the backup file. Not sure this is relevant, but I wanted to mention.
- cleared the cookies from our test browsers (chrome and IE 10)

Any help is greatly appreciated and please let me know if you need any further information.

Same as mgoetze.

My URL is: sloth-squad.comuf.com

I don't know what to do from here lol.

Any help is much appreciated.

^ We fixed our issue. Our webhost had our default domain as http://hobbysquawk.com in our website hosting settings. When I changed it to http://www.hobbysquawk.com everything started working again perfectly. hopefully this information helps others.

ok but not logining ACP

---

just see my url www.onlytricks.cf

not getting acvt message

my acp not opening


onlytricks.cf

^ your cookie domain should be .onlytricks.cf
open ~/inc/settings.php file and put correct cookie domain in it.
then you should be able to log into admin panel.
then once again put correct cookie domain at configuration >> settings >> General Configuration

will i have the same problem here

how i got it ?
after trying to edit headerunclude template its show me massage "Please make sure you have all the input required to edit this template (tid and sid)";

after that its logout

after that when i am trying to login its just reload login page
i tried to clear all cookies and login again
all cookies saved in my browser and page reload

this problem in admin panel only

all cookies :

^ you have to use .ar-gn.com as the cookie domain

same error  

i am already try those settings :

$settings['homeurl'] = "http://ar-gn.com/";
$settings['bburl'] = "http://ar-gn.com";
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".ar-gn.com";

$settings['homeurl'] = "http://www.ar-gn.com/";
$settings['bburl'] = "http://www.ar-gn.com";
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".ar-gn.com";

$settings['homeurl'] = "http://ar-gn.com/";
$settings['bburl'] = "http://ar-gn.com";
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".www.ar-gn.com";

$settings['homeurl'] = "http://www.ar-gn.com/";
$settings['bburl'] = "http://www.ar-gn.com";
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".www.ar-gn.com";

in the first code there is no cookies stored in my browser

but if i set cookiedomain to .www.ar-gn.com its store cookies but without any effects .

PM : after edit bburl and homeurl now there is no cookies at all .

^ would you like to PM me your forum admin account and access to files (ftp) - you can change your credentials later

Edit: there was a problem with redirect rules used in .htaccess file at the home directory
