Just to complete the thread for posterity
After moving the forum into it's own directory under the URL, everything works fine. I could even just copy all the files and voila, it worked!!!
Thanks Rickard for your help.

Now, here's my question. Why have two different domains for the same forum?
While we requested the new domain name (emforum.nl) we tested with an existing domain (groove.nl). When the new domain was registered and functional we wanted to switch and not use the old/test one anymore. That turned out not to work at all.
Even changing the $cookie_domain doesn't work. I will just start from scratch with everything and we'll see where we end up.
We really appreciate your responsiveness though. Just wanted to have that said.
It just proofs that choosing punBB was the best choice to make, for that alone I can highly recommend you guys!!! (And the forum itself is already awesome 
)

I tried both before, and just now. Doesn't work.
What IE dislikes is the fact that I'm on .emforum.nl, but it tries to set a cookie as (<name>@groove.txt) groove.nl.
That's the conflict and I can only solve that by making the server unambiguous I think.

I did. First word in the reply. It is set to nothing, and I tried setting it to either of the domain names as well.

nothing. I tried both other sites as well, but it is the internal conflict in IE that prevents it from setting the cookie. And no I only want to be on domain 1. No user should ever come in through domain 2. That was just for testing purposes.
Perhaps I should remove it from the directory under the other domain, and move it into it's own directory. Re-install? We'll see.
Thanks for your thoughts so far though, you're very responsive I appreciate that. A lot.

I understand, but that is not the case. It must be my provider running PHP within one Domain, which sets the cookie domain to the wrong domain name.
Anyway, I asked them to fix it.
Thanks,

Rickard,
Well I found out why NetScape works and IE doesn't....
It seems to be having to do something with domain. Netscape sets the cookie even though it comes from domain one, with domain name two. (1st = www.emforum.nl, 2nd = www.groove.nl)
So the cookie gets set from www.emforum.nl but with domain www.groove.nl (don't know why). NetScape is fine with that, however, IE does not allow it and doesn't set the cookie. (ouch!)
Only thing I can think of now, is to install again under a separate webserver. (Or see if my provider can do something for me)
I'll keep you posted for your FAQ.

Tried with NetScape and that works fine.
That means you have an idea of what it might be

Question: could mySQL localhost have something to do with it? Hmmm, no not logical, since the login seems to work.

See also: Can't login
I tried deleting my cookies and setting different cookie domain as suggested in other posts, but no luck.
For test purposes I had the forum in a sub sub dir of another website until I got my new domain. I pointed the domain to the installed dir, and changed the BASE_URL and now I cannot log-in anymore.
I can still log in through the old site. (after I reset the cookie domain)
I'm confused. Again, I get login successful/redirecting and then the message you are not logged in. This happens not just for admin, but also for other users.
Running version 1.1.3.
Thanks for any and all help.
James
