Hai there! Two of my users have reported problems when they wanted to sign in on my forum.

This is one of the quotes from one of mymembers who has troubles:

Quote:Just to let you guys know that I've been having problems signing in. I write everything right and it says thanks for logging in, click here if you don't have the patient to wait. And then when the site comes up it says I am a guest and not online.

And the other one came with some more specific info:

Quote:LOL same problem, actually. The only way it lets me log in is when I sign in through this link:
http://forums.tribalentropy.com/index.php

If I try signing in through http://forums.tribalentropy.com it just kicks me out like it happens with BE3 and it doesnt seem to be a cookie/cache problem. Weird.

Is there a way to fix this?
Try setting your cookie domain to just .tribalentropy.com or remove the leading dot from what you have now.

As AJS said,but I would add some different modification,I used this however I was having similar issues but with ACP:

In cookie path,there would be / by default,change it to:

http://www.forums.tribalentropy.com/

and see if it helps?
Can I find this in the ACP, or do I have to find this in the File Manager?
ACP > Configurations > General Configurations > Cookie Path

You should NOT change your cookie path to that. Cookie path should be just that, the path that its available on, NOT the url, for that you need to use the cookie domain setting.

Read this for more info about the difference between the cookie domain and path settings:

I don't know but I was getting the same problem yesterday with my domain but for ACP and when I changed to that,it was fine.

Now I even keep getting logged out of the ACP *sighs* I can't even change the cookie path now, it keeps referting back to what I had put in...... Now some of my users aren't even able to login anymore.

So what am I going to do now?
What the frack!!!!

I did exactly what it said in this documentation: http://community.mybb.com/thread-74904.html what you had to edit in your settings.php I did this and now I can't access my forum at all!!!!!!!

If you want PM me for MSN,I could assist you,but ftp details would be needed,if you trust I can do it. Smile

Or just login your ftp and goto:

Quote:.inc/settings.php

find some cookie value thing and set it to: .forums.yourforums.com
and cookie path to: /

and make sure you CHMOD settings.php and config.php (both in inc directory) to 666.

After its done and you login ACP,change its value from there also and click save and it should solve it.
