Topic: Login Twice

I have a website set up using portal.

www.whatisbb.co.nr

Mods installed:
Announcements Plugin
Chatbox
Private Messages


The problem is that all the members on the website have to login twice to get in. The first time it would appear that they are logging in and the re-direct page would appear. Once it goes back to the index, it shows you are not logged in and you have to login again.

I know this is a small problem but i cant figure out why its doing this.

Any ideas?

Re: Login Twice

Same here. For a while ppl had to login twice, especially ppl on Linux+Firefox.
But now I cannot even log in myself, into one of my FOUR forums. Nor anybody else.
1.2.17. I have deleted the cache-files.
I try both Safari and Firefox. The short screen says i am logged in, but when forum shows, i am still not logged in.

I have done nothing to the server otherwise. This is the strangest so far...

Re: Login Twice

$cookie_path in the config file. You most likely have it set incorrectly.

Nope. Set the the same in all forums (see my signature).

$cookie_path = '/';

The installation is straight from the newest 1.2.17 zip.

Re: Login Twice

Could it PoSsibly be this? I added in include/common.php
one line:

// Reverse the effect of register_globals
unregister_globals();
@include PUN_ROOT.'config.php';
@include PUN_ROOT.'counter.php';

The last one, cuz i have a counter at pun root...

could that brick the login thing?
