Unable to log in to fresh vanilla 1.1.10 installation

Sean

Hello,

I have just installed my first vanilla forum, but when I try to log in it wants to use https... this won't work on my server so is there anyway to disable the behaviour and log in with http only?

Thanks

Sean

Weird...

Edit conf/settings.php to set $Configuration['HTTP_METHOD'] to "http".

Sean

$Configuration['HTTP_METHOD'] = 'http';

I made the change to the file, uploaded to server, retried to log-in, no change though. I am being directed to https://mydomain.com/forums/people.php and get a "file not found" error.

Dinoboff

You also have to change $Configuration['BASE_URL'] and $Configuration['FORWARD_VALIDATED_USER_URL'].

Sean

Superb, this fixed my problem. I really appreciate the help Dinoboff - many thanks to you!

Did someone else get the same problem?

Yeah, I just uploaded the last of it and in step 2 I keep getting:

We couldn’t connect to the server you provided (lh28.dnsireland.com). The database responded with the following message: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'airsoft@letshost'@'lh28.dnsireland.com' (using password: YES)

I have tried my server as airsoftreloaded.ie and the above. I didn't try the the steps you said above because to be honest I have no idea what it means, I'm new to this.

Any help would be great.
