I tried to log into the ACP, and I got

Your current IP address does not match the one in our records

I have gotten this error before, and I know that it is a quick edit in admin.php. Unfortunately, IPB 2.2 Beta is encoded, so I am not able to edit that file. Is there any other way to get back into my ACP?

I have over 20 other people testing, so it's not easy to just "start over." They all have ACP access, if it makes a difference. Is the only way to fix it to make a new account?

Not all files are encoded. I think /upload/admin/admin.php is unencoded, so you can change it.

admin.php >

find

$check_ip = 1;

change to

$check_ip = 0;

:whistle:

You can also empty the sessions table in the database.

That reminds me, it would be better served in init.php as a constant.

Ya, this needs to be corrected, as people it becomes a real PIA for newbees on dynamic ip , whose ip address changes with each browser refresh.

IP addresses change on each connection, not on each page load.

Then why should there this problem be ?

AOL, shared IPs, also users seem to jump IPs rather randomly.


Really, I'd be asking what someone with enough intelligence to be an Admin of a board they set up (a beta one at that) would be using AOL... or something similar.

AOL users mgiht experience ip change on each page load :)
