Try starting with $cookie_path.

I guess I am a total noob. I have no idea what setting $cookie_path should be... I assume the default is good enough, which is "/"

I just cleared cache on my computer, and its back to normal. Thanks.

In both of the forums, try changing the cookie settings in config.php

Not sure what I should change. Here are the cookie lines in the config.php file. These are original settings:

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = 'bc0cf25b';

I just started up two different forums, each in their own folder. On one of the forums, I can't log in. When I log in, it says I am not logged in. On the other forum, I can not log out. When I log out, it says I am still logged in. Am I missing something, should I be looking for something on the server? Any idea what's happening?

Does your host give you any tools to deal with MySQL, like phpMyAdmin or something like that?

Ahh, I should of thought of that. Yes, Netsol has the database manager, I just added a new DB. Thank you!

Hello, I am new. Have a question, probably stupid one, but I can not find the answer, so I thought I would come here.

I am hosting at netsol.com, UNIX server with PHP and MySQL support enabled. I have uploaded the /upload folder no prob. I am now "running" the install.php file. I have experience running MS SQL and Access, but this is my first time with MySQL.

On the installation page, there is a section labeled "Enter the name of your database." Then username and password. I created a database locally on my Windows machine (called 'mybb'), but am unable to create a username. This is the syntax I am using:

mysql> use mybb;
Database changed
mysql> CREATE USER ken;
ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for 'ken'@'%'

What am I doing wrong?

Additionally, I am not sure what files I need to upload to the server once the database is created.
