Hi there.

Thanks for offering this AMAZING forum script. I'm really
excited about using it. :-)

I installed FF on my Linux server, and only had trouble
with the cookie when I tried to log in as an admin. I
kept thinking there was something wrong with my install
because it would always loop me back to the login page,
so I kept deleting install.php and reinstalling the darn
thing trying to fix it.

But now, I see that when I just UN-check the box to use
cookies, I'm logged in just fine.

My domain cookie is:
truth.blowncovermarketing.com

Can someone please tell me what the heck is wrong with
my cookies? They work fine with my browser, as every
other site I access in I.E.5+ uses them just fine. It's
just FUDForum that's acting up.

Thanks very much.

Namaste,
FitnessJunkie

No idea, perphaps the cookie domain you've specified is incorrect. I do know of many large FUDforum installations where are there users of IE 5.5 and none have reported the cookie problem.

What do you mean "incorrect"? I don't have any idea
about how a cookie can be "wrong".

Thanks again.

Namaste,

When PHP sets a cookie it specifies a domain & path if either is incorrect the browser will refuse the cookie. You need to check the COOKIE_PATH & COOKIE_DOMAIN settings in your admin control panel are correct.

Same problem here. I install it as localhost in windows and in a linux server.

I only have cookie problem with fud so i hope someone has also this problem and get it to work.

I put explorer cookies to less security to allow any cookie. but when i log i get login page again.

I have upgrade it to 2.5.3 to see if it get error again or it is fixed but after upgrade the user part of login to uncheck use cookie is not able because the forum is temporary down waiting i log as admin.

The upgrade i test in localhost Very Happy so no fast problem for me but i want to know how it could be fixed. some line or for the moment where is set if server is offline to continue login as user.

Thanks

You cannot set cookies for 'localhost' it's not a valid cookie domain. If you use 'localhost' as your domain use URL session.

can not login in the user login page to get the url session, if site temporary closed only can login in admin side and there only cookie session looks that could work.

I before in localost check out the cookie option. but it is not in the admin login screen.
