Topic: successful login redirects to "not logged in" page

i am experiencing the following problem with punBB 1.2.8:

after successful login (it says loggin succesfully) redirection goes to the index.php page showing that i am not logged in.

i can register new users, however, they have the same login problem then too.

i have done no changes since i created some new categories and forums. permissions on my server are all the same 755 for the folder and 644 for the files.
could it be that my webhost has done any changes? is this a bug?
any help/ideas greatly appreciated smile

thanks

Re: successful login redirects to "not logged in" page

interesting,

i saw you were testing it as test. i tried too and again i have the same problem - so it must be my browser ..IE6,
oh, i remember, i have updated windows 2000 today and installed several mostly security related updates...
I will try to login from 98..

Re: successful login redirects to "not logged in" page

probably something to do with cookies.  Check if they are enabled?

I'm using XP
You might want to try uncommenting the P3P line in the pun_setcookie function in functions.php

Re: successful login redirects to "not logged in" page

it works using 98SE.
i am currenlty not able to check the cookie settings with my other operating system since it is in a language i don not understand (my wifes native language).
would punbb work without setting cookies? what s the drawback? maybe other users have the same security settings as i had...
at least i know now - great help guys!! smile

PunBB can't possibly work without cookies wink

Re: successful login redirects to "not logged in" page

so uncommenting the setcookie function would not have solved it long term - just problem isolation - right?

No, if it works it's a long term solution tongue

Re: successful login redirects to "not logged in" page

ok - i check it out and post the result tomorrow (although it would bother me a little not knowing what i actually disable by uncommenting setcookies, there must be a reason for that..) - it s 4 am here, good night and thanks for the support!

Re: successful login redirects to "not logged in" page

You don't disable anything by uncommenting, you enable the sending of a header that IE seems to be picky about in some cases. It probably won't work, but it's worth a try

Re: successful login redirects to "not logged in" page

just a quick post to say thanks to you guys,
everything at www.neotango.info works fine now - without any uncommenting smile

after rebooting there were no problems anymore. i suspect that the security updates for windows 2000 have confused the cookie settings until reboot.

Well, you can try setting cookie_domain in config.php
