MyBB Community Forums

hello,

I can't login to my newly installed MyBB 1.8.4. I installed it on my debian vserver and all seems to be okay. But after I had successfully installed myBB and delete install directory, the admin user wont login correctly. MyBB tells me user logged in, but when I returned to index, nothing happend. The admin panel is accessable
but as soon as I click on config MyBB tells me to login again and then my account is invalid -.-

I used google before I create this Thread but I found no solution.

please help.

regards

(you're in 1.6 section and speaking of 1.8)

Seems to be a trouble with cookies, check them (cookiedomain, cookiepath and cookieprefix) in inc/settings.php and in your database (table mybb_settings)

sorry for posting in the wrong section.

here it is:
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".84.19.*.*:8078";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "/forum/";
$settings['cookieprefix'] = "";

The port in the cookie domain ? Try without ":8078"

I have changed my Apache port to 8078 maybe installation of MyBB set autocatically.

Ports are irrelevant to cookies. Just put the IP address with a leading period. ".84.19.*.*".

No, IP addresses are no domain therefor the cookie domain must be empty.

Using ip addresses works, and the RFC accept it, cf http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt
