Full Version: ip address in cookie domain
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I just did a re-install of mybb. However, it keeps coming up with the IP address of my router as the cookie domain. Since I don't have a static IP address this won't work well.
I'm assuming there is a setting on the DNS server that i've got messed up. But I can't seem to figure out why it's doing it. Any help would be appreciated. Of course, if I use anything else than the IP address there....then I get the infamous login problems that I've seen alot of people have.

My site is Danview.org

thanks in advance
Why have you got your forum in a frame?? You'll have no end of problems doing that. Get the forum out the iframe and set the cookie domain to .danview.org and you'll be fine. I don't know why people set their forums up with IPs and iframes like this Undecided
thanks for the reply. I'll be honest, I'm not sure what you mean by having the forum in a frame.

If you're hosting the website on your computer it's because of that. The domain puts your site in a frame in order to see it. The solution would be to get a host.
View the source of your forum, it's a few lines of HTML that load the forum in an iframe, like a window to another page. They're bad and will cause you grief.
Okay, I can definitely see the source shows the frames.
I suppose the million dollar question is.......is that something being caused by my apache server? My DNS server? Or is it something in the adminpage that I can't seem to find.
