Re: login problems

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

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"');
