View Full Version : Need help with problem with cookies on CMPS

I posted this on vBulletin, as it's not just a problem with the cookies, it's also a problem with the theme not showing up either.

Basically, everything was fine until I decided to log out. I couldn't log back in afterwards, so I cleared my cache and cookies, and restarted the browser, then ran the fix_login.php script from vBulletin. That fixed things on the forums, but now I can't log in via the login panel on the CMPS.

So to cut it short, I go to www.astralplanet.co.uk, try to login, get a message thanking me for logging in, but I don't show up as logged in. But, if I go to www.astralplanet.co.uk/community/index.php, I show up as being logged in.

But, the really odd thing is that my custom theme shows up on the CMPS, but on the forums, vBulletin's default theme shows up. I have checked the settings in the ACP and it all appears to be correct. My theme was fine until all this started with me logging out. vBulletin won't help me fix it because of the CMPS, so now I'm asking you guys for help. I've tried clearing my cookies and my cache so many times and it just does not work.

Thanks.

For the login problem:
http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1341

For the style problem, Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Edit Pages => Default / Homepage => Custom Style for this Page

Make sure that option is set to 'Use Default Style'.

Thanks, but I followed the instructions for the cookie problem, and it's still not working.

I have .astralplanet.co.uk set, but the only thing is that when you mention that I need to have cookie path option set to "/", I have two vBulletin boards on the same domain, so I need to have that option set to /community/.

If you have your cookie path set to /community/ then the cookies are not going to be recognized in any folder other than that one.

So if I set it to / then will my test board cookies on the same domain work correctly or not?

Set it to / on your regular forums and then /test/ (or whatever directory your test forum is located in) on your test board.

We were having all these problems as well, log in through welcome module wouldn't remember user logged in when going anywhere, couldn't log in threogh welcome module at all, etc...

After trying all the above, as well as vBulletin's fix_login.php script and mycookies.php scripts, didn't do it either, we found that changing the Remove Redirection Message Pages within the AdminCP to NO fixed everything.
