MyBB Community Forums

Sure:

Username: test
Password: test1234
URL: http://rs.novahost.org/new/forum/index.php

Some settings are still wrong.

Cookie domain: is .rs.novahost.org - should be rs.novahost.org
Cookie path: is forum/ - should be /new/forum/
Cookie prefix: is hg_ - do you really need one?? Very few people need one to make it work.

I have another installation of MyBB on teh server, so I thought a prefix would be needed.

As for the /new/forum/, there is no installation of MyBB at that link. I initially installed it there because I was converting from another software and wanted the old forum to still be functional as I got the MyBB one ready.

The URL you just gave me has /new/forum/ in the URL so that's what's going to have to go into the cookie path too... if you're accessing it with that URL, that goes into the settings.

Interesting, that may just be the problem. This is supposed to be the url:

http://rs.novahost.org/forum/index.php

Unsure why the URL that was at the top of my browser was the /new/ one.

Ah, then it'd need to be /forum/ not forum/

Then you'd need to access it with that URL to login with those cookie settings.

It seems to work now, thanks!

10/10 for speed with the support, by the way.

Been playing around w/ my cookie settings because I wanted some separate software to talk to mybb's cookies.

Originally the path was set something like this: "/somedir/forums/" which all worked find and dandy.

Then I changed it to just: "/somedir/" so that the other software based there would be able to access the mybb cookies, and that all seemed to work fine too. Until that is, I tried using the ACP. Now it's just kicking me back out every time I click on something... not really the desired effect.

I can get it back to how it was originally by restoring the settings file w/ a backup so no biggie, but I'd really like to get it working how I'd want. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Again, we cannot tell you anything without your URL.

I'd rather not give out my real url and it'd be pretty useless anyway as I'll be running my original settings until I can get the new ones to work properly. In the mean time I can assure you that when I test it, it's set up equivalent of this: (as shown in the source code)

URL: http://mydomain.com/somedir/forums/

	var cookieDomain = ".mydomain.com";
	var cookiePath = "/somedir/";
	var cookiePrefix = "test";

Just for ref: The only change from the original(working) settings is the cookie path going up a level. As far as I know that should work, don't understand why it's not.
