* Cookies not being set/staying set(it's on a sub-domain, in a "forum" folder) - correctly
* http://vfpixelworks.elite-area.com/
* clean install - MyBB 1.4.2
* No test account.
* No screenshot/error text.
Try looking at the wiki: Cannot Login

This tells you how to set the cookies correctly, and runs through some of the common issues.

Hope it helps Smile
I changed all the information accordingly, and it's still not setting cookies correctly!Sad
Your cookie domain should be: .vfpixelworks.elite-area.com

Note the dot in front of the domain. Yours currently does not have the dot. Once you get it set up, you should clear your cookies in your browser.
When I installed it, it had the dot in it. I went into the settings.php file and changed it, cleared cookies - same error. Reset it to default - same error.
It's working fine here. Do you have any other forums on that domain or in subfolders? What browser are you using? Have you tried other browsers?
No other forums on that sub-domain, and none in subfolders. I'm using FireFox 3.0.2, and yes I've tried every browser I have. Other people have tried, too - and it's not working for them either.
im having the same problem and have done for a long time. hence the only working board i have is installed into the root and not a subdomain but now i really do need to setup a new board inside a domain. Im pretty sure it must be a cookie thing. Ive just freshly installed the boards in http://shop.ldfx.co.uk


cookie settings from settings.php ..
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".shop.ldfx.co.uk";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "/";
$settings['cookieprefix'] = "";


Something must be going on ?
Set the cookie domain to shop.ldfx.co.uk or .ldfx.co.uk
Remember you need to clear the conkies from your browser before testing.
