Can't log in, use calendar, or any nav buttons

[JeremyE]

If you try to log in on the main page, it says logging you in, but then when it goes back to the main page, your not logged in? But i am logged in on the forums...

Also if i hit user cp or any of the other standard buttons, i get a 404 error...

now i am truely lost.. hehehe Story of my life.. ;)

Can someone throw me a shovel so i can dig out of this hole?

I was thinking this was a setting the Page Variable setting, but that didnt work out either.

It "thinks" that the calendar, register etc is located in the root of the site, not the "/mxforums/ folder. How would i change where it looks for the actual pages?

those files are not in the root of the site, they are part of the message board.

I would make sure you have the coorect path to your forums in the index file.

I solved this problem by adding a

$vboptions[bburl]/ to the begginig of each URL in the navbar template.

for ex: change

href="search.php"
to
href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php"

you have to to this for every php link.

Ahh... yes... i was just looking in the header for that!.. thanks!!!!


it shows im still not logged in if i enter via the domin name, and when i try to log in, it doesnt say "logging you in", it just refreshes the page, but the links work.

:beat head against wall:

Please see this post (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14). ;)

[JeremyE]

Thanks for the reply Brian! :)

OK.. I have tried the clearing cookies and the edit cookies domain.

Nadda...

I also looked for the index template, couldn't find it, so i did a search in the admincp/template manager for md5.js and it showed a few results, i checked each one, they already were vbulletin_md5.js.

maybe im missing something. When i log in the forums, after i hit submit to log in, it takes you to a "logging you in" page, then loads the forums under your log in.

I cant even get the "logging you in" part to come up, it just refreshes the page like i hit "refresh" in IE.

I'm sorry to be a pain.. :(

Would you mind filling out a support ticket via the Members Area here so I can have a look?

[JeremyE]

no prob.. will do.. :)

[Traenenblut]

And what was the problem?
I have the same problem and didn't find any solusions :(

[DarknessDivine]

check to make sure your forum path is set correct...make sure you leave the index.php off of the form path..then see if that helps..might noit be your problem but it's worth a shot..;)

His problem was that his forum and homepage were on two seperate domain names.

i got that login trouble at the "adminCP", the "index.php4" and "cmps_index.php"
it always comes back to the login screen or the not logged in forum.
i uses vB 3.0.3 and i did modify all the .php txt and php files to .php4 at the vBadvanced CMPS files.
it worked a short time perfect, i did see all the boxes and then i did try login at the cmps_index.php and from that moment everything started, i did clear the cookies, .js files, i was even trying to uninstall the portal but even with that i got always again the login screen after login in, so it would probably some setting :confused:

Brian,

Could you expound upon this? I've recently changed my cookies on my main site to "/forums/" instead of just "/" because I've added a testing area (whose cookie is set to "/forumstest/forums") and now it looks it's not recognizing the cookies anymore from the vBa CMPS main page.

What'd I screw up? :D

Thanks,
Kevin

[Brian]

If you changed it to '/forums' then it's only going to recognize the cookie while you're under that folder.

HHHmmm.....

OK, in that case what would the proper configuration be for running two different sites both using vBa CMPS on the same domain? I've got a production site "/forums/" and a test site "/forumstest/forums/" and if I leave other one to be just "/" it seems to conflict then with the other.

Thoughts?

[Brian]

Set the normal site to it's default and test site to '/forumstest/' maybe?

I'll have to play around with it more when I get home but it looks like it won't let me log out out /forumstest as long as I'm logged into /. :(

While I got your attention..... :p Any thoughts on why moving adv_index.php from / to /forumstest would now result in a blank page even after the chdir was updated?

[Brian]

Was it installed on the test forum as well?

[KW802]

Yep, it was installed on both the live and test forum.

My live area is setup as "/index.php" pointing to "/forums" -- When I first did the test area I had "/labs_index.php" pointing to "/forumstest" but I wanted to keep everything test related self contained so I moved the contents of "/forumstest" to "/forumstest/forums" and then moved "/labs_index.php" to be named "/forumstest/index.php" (and changed the 'chdir' along the way) but now I get a blank page.

I saw over on vb.org that somebody else with the blank page problem fixed theirs by re-installing the templates but before I did that I figured I'd check with you first. :D

[KW802]

OK, reinstalling the templates from vbacmps_install.php fixed it up. :)
