When loading a page requiring a login (admin) it prompts for a login before loading the page. After the login is input the page loads. If the same page or another page are loaded, it will prompt for a login again. No errors are ever thrown. Is there is a cookie expiration problem somewhere? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It's on an Intranet, but the URL is just the machine's host name.
http://WEBSERVER/forum/
From settings.php
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".WEBSERVER";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "/forum/";
$settings['cookieprefix'] = "";
Try making the cookie domain blank. Then go to ACP > Configuration > General Configuration and change it again.
I can get to the ACP > Configuration > General Configuration page, but I cannot save the changes because I am redirected to the login page. I have modified the settings.php file, but the blank is shown as .WEBSERVER. Is there a way to reflect this change outside of the Admin?
You have to edit it in ./inc/settings.php and then edit it again in the ACP to update the database.
Spoke too soon. I changed it back to
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".WEBSERVER";
..and it is now working. I guess something in the installation[/php] didn't quite get set right.
Thank you for your help.
Hmm, weird... well, make sure the ACP shows the correct setting and click save to make sure the database is correct.

I just did your suggestion this after I got it working through the setting.php change to be sure everything in the database was updated.
