Topic: login problems

dear all, i appreciate in the myriad of postings, there may be another like this one.

I have a user of my forum who tries time after time to login, sometimes can, more often cannot.

i'm really stuck for a solution.

Thanks

Re: login problems

More often then not, it's related to the cookie path specified in config.php.

Re: login problems

any chance of advice on how i might remedy the situation. thanks for replying btw.

Re: login problems

A couple of tips:

1. If your base url is set to www.domain.com, add the following to your .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase / 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This will help prevent lots of problems smile

2. Change line 139 of include/functions.php from:

//    @header('P3P: CP="CUR ADM"');

to

    @header('P3P: CP="CUR ADM"');

Re: login problems

my user has now said she can log in with new details, but cannot logout!!! New to me.  What on earth can the problem be with this user?!

All help gratefully received.

Latest - she logged out and can't log in again and get's redirected to login page everytime she's tries to login.
