I've tried in two seperate browsers (IE & FF), cleared cookies for both, etc. and am still unable to login to a client's forum. I've tried several times and I'm still showing up as a guest. Nothing malicious is going on as far as I know. I'm just unable to log in for some reason.


Thanks.

EDIT: Tried it in Opera, as well. :?
It is probably a problem with the board cookie settings. This has nothing to do with clearing cookies in your browser. The host of the forum will need to properly configure the cookies to the domain of their website for it to work.
Works fine on other domains on the same account w/ MyBB installed. Still think it's a server side issue?

Also... I'm able to log in just fine into the admin panel. Undecided
I uploaded a fresh global.php file. Seems to be working fine now.

Weird.

Well, it happened when I tried to change the navbit from

$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/index.php";

TO:

$navbits[0]['url'] = $mybb->settings['bburl']."/forum.php";

I would really like to change that bit. Such a shame. Sad
You should actually be able to change that with no problems. Interesting that it didn't work.

Have you tried reapplying it?

I've tried it several times. I still had problems with it.

And not only that, I had to upload a fresh copy. If I just changed "forum.php" back to "index.php", it still had the same effect.

Strange, I know.
What's even stranger is, I'm totally able to change that. I confirmed it on two boards in two different servers. What I don't get, is why(or how) that would mess with your abilities to login or even logout.
You're saying you had no problem changing it?

hmmm... *plays theme from "The Twilight Zone"* Undecided
Well... ended up going through the cPanel editor and it worked like a charm.

How strange. All I did before was edit it in Notepad and upload the changed file. Guess something happened along the way.

i uplouded global.php (fresh) like your in host, but problem not solved.

but i uploaded all mybb files (fresh) in host on another directory and copy config.php & setting.php from forum directory to new directory, and run that.
