vBadvanced Home Page Login Problems

[m0nde]

I've been struggling with this problem for some time:

I'm running on Windows under Apache 2.0.52, PHP 4.3.9 and mySQL 3.23.58-nt

I have installed vBadvanced into a directory called wwwbostonlove on my c: drive with my forums residing in c:\wwwbostonlove\forums

The Apache server has c:\wwwbostonlove as the home directory for http://www.bostonlove.org

My cookies are set so that they have the following values:
Path to Save Cookies: /forums/
Cookie Domain: .bostonlove.org

With this configuration, I am able to log in from my vBAdvanced home page but the vBadvanced Welcome Block and NavBar do not register my being logged in and I am not able to access appropriate control panels (admin, etc.) from the home page.
Modules on my vBadvanced home page such as Active Users show me as being logged in.
My vBulletin forums shows me as logged in and I am able to log out from the NavBar there or access any control panels I want.

If I change my cookie settings to the following:
Path to Save Cookies: /
Cookie Domain: .bostonlove.org

The vBadvanced Welcome Block and NavBar on the home page show me logged in and I am able to access appropriate Control Panels and the vBulletin Forums allow me appropriate access, but I am unable to log out.

Please help!

Your 'Path to Save Cookies' option is going to have to be set at '/', otherwise it will only work in the directory specified there.
Did you manually clear your cookies and such after changing the settings? Be sure you try that as not manually clearing them often creates a problem like you are describing. If that doesn't help, try changing your 'Cookie Domain' option, leave it blank, and then manually clear your cookies again.

Your 'Path to Save Cookies' option is going to have to be set at '/', [...] try changing your 'Cookie Domain' option, leave it blank

I've done both of these things and it works perfectly now.
For some reason, it needed the blank cookie domain to function properly.

Thankyou very much!
