  • good investigative work Mark.

    really appreciate your time and effort.

    For the record, this is the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q176113 The real problem is that I set the cookies and then the login page tries to redirect you to the index page with a header("location: index.php"); type of line. On some windows servers, this isn't handled properly (See the above link). I don't really know what to do to fix it. I don't really want to change the code in case it breaks for *other* servers that work properly.
  • Ok, well i have submitted a ticket to my hosting company, i'l let you know what they say
  • How about following the header with HTML containing a meta-refresh? If the header fails, it will fall back on the meta-refresh.

    I don't want to have to change the code like that. I hate it when pages "flicker" like that. This is all very frustrating.
  • dont panic chaps, lets see what the hosting lads say - it may be a very isolated thing

    Shoot Self in Foot: Object "Foot" will be included in the next release. You can upgrade for $500.

    Man, this is a tough PITA. One helpful discussion I found: http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5583 Possible workaround method: http://manual.mantisbt.org/manual.configuration.webserver.php (sensing the server type and version, then using some sort of alternative redirect) A really familiar name, but the wrong fix: http://www.langreiter.com/space/vanilla-installation

    updated to the latest vanilla release this week......and my forum posters have reported this problem too - ie having to login each time I changed the cookie settings, as Mark suggested....will see if that works in the next day or two
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    let us know either way if it works out for you. I'm sure the cookies are programmed properly now - it's all a matter of configuring their domain/path properly.

    hasn't worked, Mark. I have had feedback tonight.......and the problem persists. (nb - my settings were changed earlier today to what you recommend above......no joy)
  • hehe oh i get it, only just realised thats happening to me on my localhost ( windows ). But i ont care but it woul be nice to have fixed. It never did it before.
  • UPDATE - great news......my subscribers are all now reporting good things today. They are now finding that they are staying logged in. Only one has had problems - he is now fine from his work pc, but has to re login from his home pc, but he says he uses AOL at home (so thinks that may be the issue)
