Topic: Log In Loop- desperation

Please help.

the forum is located at www.samuelljackson.com

We got hacked last August and things have not been the same.

We are in this login loop. You login with a valid account. It says logged in successfully redirecting... then you go to the forum and you are not logged in.

Some people are even taken back to the front page upon log in.

*I* can't even login as admin.

and I have to do some admin work.

Thanks!

Re: Log In Loop- desperation

Logging in works for me (after I managed to find my way around to the registration page).
The only issues I can see would be if you were accessing the site from http://samuelljackson.com and http://www.samuelljackson.com. In which case, you need to modify config.php for PunBB and set $cookie_domain to .samuelljackson.com
In any case, you're using Punbo, which is a modified version of PunBB. You'll need to ask the people who develop it about any more specific issues

Thank you, but I can't seem to find the Punbo people. The appear to have just disappeared.

If I uninstalled punbo and installed punbb, would I loose my membership base in the process?

Well, you wouldn't have the integration with your CMS that you have right now. Other than that, you could simply upload a copy of PunBB and create a proper config.php file: that would allow you to access all of your user data from that forum.

This makes perfect sense. But the problem I am having is that locally all works fine. Here is what I am trying to do: I am learning how to host my own server. I have purchased a domain through Yahoo which is allowing me to forward a www.mydomain.com to my ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/forum/index.php.

I am unable to login. I get the same redirect and the NOT logged in as stated above.

I am wondering if I would have this problem if I were not port forwarding and maybe switched to ftp or a free hosting plan that allows php.

Any information would be appreciated! smile

Re: Log In Loop- desperation

Could you link to your site so we can see what the problem is? I don't think you have the same issue.

Thank you for the fast response.

My web address is www.mypadsupport.com (I doubt you can get to it yet though. I am now trying to get easydns to work)

The static ip(virtual server through router) to the forum is: 192.168.0.199/mypad/cr/data/public/forum/index.php
The port is 80 but when I use the :80 I am unable to load the page.

Thank you. I hope you have better luck than me. smile
