Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 22, 200618 yr I just installed the beta on a test server. I logged in, and it says I am logged in, but when the page reloads, it says I need to log in. I know I am using the right user name and password. What did I do wrong?
September 22, 200618 yr Try accessing the admin cp first and disabling the stronghold cookie, see if that has any effect.
September 22, 200618 yr Nope, that didnt work. I managed to get into my ACP just fine, and I disabled the cookie, but I still can't login to the board itself.
September 22, 200618 yr Is it the same test server as you have previously used for your IPB installations? If so, try deleting all cookies for that particular URL from your browser
September 22, 200618 yr Yes, it's on the same server. But a different folder and a different database. I had different passwords on my main forum, and the test forum. I changed the one to my test forum to be the same as the one I use on the main one. Now I can log in. I also cleared my cookies and cache. Now I can login to both boards with no problem. :)
September 22, 200618 yr Management Make sure you are using a different cookie prefix if you're installing the beta on the same server as your current board.
September 22, 200618 yr I also installed the beta on the same server as my regular forum and the same thing was happening to me. What I did was under "Cookie Name Prefix" I just added "ipb2", of course it doesn't have to be "ipb2" but try and adding a "Cookie Name Prefix" and see if that fixes the problem.
September 23, 200618 yr Thanks to all of you, I had the same problem and I followed what Elemental Crisis suggested and that resolved the issue.
